Personable, professional, prompt.... and not PUSHY at all!

Personable, professional, prompt.... and not PUSHY at all!

We reached out to a few real estate agents via social media as we wanted to go onto their database as we were looking to buy in specific areas and these agents covered our desired geographies. James was incredibly prompt in responding which was a breath of fresh air - especially since we had felt with other agents they could take us or leave us (since competition is so fierce for property at the moment). James helped us understand important details and positives about the property in a professional way and we never felt he was being pushy. His communication was clear and concise - there were no games and he was incredibly helpful in responding to our questions since this was the first established house we had actually bought. Beyond this incredible professionalism though, we discovered James is a decent person who truly enjoys matching buyers to the right home for them. I didn't expect to find such a normal, empathetic and honest person in the real estate industry to be honest and I kept waiting for the catch. There was none. He's the type of agent you are hoping is selling your dream home because he does what he says he will do, in a timely manner and with genuine warmth.

Awesome sales team.

From the first consultation through to sale,James and the team were fantastic to work with. He gave us a professional and realistic evaluation of our property,and continually kept us up to date on all aspects of the sale and was only too happy to answer any questions we had. I would not hesitate to recommend James and the team at First Meridian Rouse Hill to anyone looking to sell their property.

I am happy to give my personal recommendation to Rate My Agent for James Holvander

James was honest with his expecations on the price he felt we would get for our home, was always professional and his communication skills are clear making sure we were up to date with all prospective buyers. His good knowledge of the historical and current Rouse Hill market gave me confidence for him to look after our loved family home. Alexandra and her marketing team also did a wonderful job with our homes photography which I am sure helped with the quick sale.

A very stress free experience compared to other Agents.

A very stress free experience compared to other Agents.

James has an 18 year track record of selling houses in Rouse Hill and there could be no one with better knowledge of the market. There is a good chance he has already sold the house previously that you are wanting to buy and he can tell you all you need to know about the property's history. He is always approachable and contactable at all times and has a great team behind him who help with a seamless process in selling your home. Please compare James with any of the other agents and you will discover he makes the whole process a very simple and relaxing one. Regards, Steve & Maree Parker

Excellent area knowledge and communicator

James helped me with the selling process from the beginning to the end. He gave me information on what the current market situation was and what I could expect. He suggested what changes would help to sell the property and I made the decision to action or not. During the initial promotion of the property James gave me feedback on comments by various parties. Again, as the sale negotiations proceeded, James kept me informed with regular phone calls. I was happy with the outcome and price that the property was sold at.

Not only the Hills best agent - Australia's BEST AGENT!!

Not only the Hills best agent - Australia's BEST AGENT!!

I encourage anyone who would like a personal reference by all means give me a call - Andrew Herrett on 0412 377 012. I am not related to James nor in any way connected to James other than professionally through the sale of my property(ies). I first dealt with James aprox 20 yrs ago selling my first house. He was so impressive I gave him my second a few years later. Most recently I gave him my third! Each time these are principal places of residence and not investments. These have been my most valuable assets with huge emotional attachment. I have honestly been left each time after the transaction being blown away by James' calm and considered yet assertive and commanding attitude throughout the process. His professionalism is above and beyond, his courtesy extended in his very regular communications is unparalleled. His marketing strategy adopted was spot on as it vindicated his approach bearing great results. 33 families at the first open home, an offer on the spot, second inspections within 3 days with several families including additional new ones and the property sold within days. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with James and you would be crazy dealing with anyone else. Just remember, the best agent not only needs to be a good communicator they also need to be smart, need to be able to read people and circumstances, ask the right questions and do it all with sincerity and credibility. James exudes all of these attributes and when you throw in his huge work ethic you have one fantastic ambassador for your property. As I say happy to take personal calls to discuss if you are genuinely interested in ensuring you secure the services of the best real estate agent in Australia.

Amazing experience and a fantastic outcome

I have to say that James is by far the best agent we’ve be involved with and we’ve dealt with numerous against in the past. He’s professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding. He is always available if we need him and keeps us informed at all times. James made the whole process of selling our property so easy and most importantly he was able to secure the best price for our property. I highly recommend James, you won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I have recently sold with James Holvander. From the outset he calmly and professionally worked for us, unconditionally. He achieved an outcome above all other estimates because he warmly negotiated with our prospects and left nothing to chance. James is not the pushy, brash agent who is in your face with attitude. That is the key I believe to him attracting buyers and working to the strengths of a property. Everyone at Meridien never missed a follow up or a detail. Our service received went beyond the contract. A rare pleasure to work with.
