Sale of my Rouse Hill property

Sale of my Rouse Hill property

I chose James because of his record of sales on the internet for sold properties in my area. My house had been with another agent for 6 months and I decided to change agents as I was not having any success. Another challenge was a falling market. I was impressed with James right from our first meeting, he has a very friendly, kind and caring demeanor and really knew my area well. He put me in touch with a stylist that was able to make necessary improvements and changes to my house to enhance it and provide a fresh look to my property. He was always available to respond to any of my concerns and provided regular progress. A buyer was found at the first open house and James was able to secure his commitment in a sale quickly. I would definitely recommend James to anyone for buying or selling their property. Heidi Taylor

Thankyou James!

Thankyou James!

My partner and I met with James when we decided to give selling our property a second go after an unsuccessful campaign with another agency. We knew straight away that listing with James and Meridien was the right choice. His knowledge, professionalism and constant communication by keeping us informed every step of the way was what gave us the reassurance throughout the sale process. What sets James apart is his humility, experience and results when it comes to selling property in a down turned market. We cannot thank you and your team enough for making this process as smooth and as stress free as possible.

Trustworthy Agent

Trustworthy Agent

We originally signed up with Marianne Saboohi but she went overseas and James took care of us, initially i was disappointed with that news as we had no idea what James was like however i'd have to say that he'd be the first and probably the only agent i'd call next time we're selling. Down to earth approach, there was no sugar coating things like you unfortunately expect from agents. Considering the currently market and the fact that our first purchaser pulled out, he did really well for us and certainly worked hard, especially to sell it with only two open homes.

OUTSTANDING - HARD WORKING - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It has been an absolute pleasure working with James and the team at First Meridian. We would like to thank James for the reassurance, patience and understanding he has shown us. We found James to be an absolute gentleman, and at all times felt he was working for our best outcome, always keeping us up to date after each inspection. We sold our house in one week, for the amount we were hoping to get, which we feel in this slowing market, is an amazing result. We have also had the pleasure of having the expert advice of Marianne, who has such a wealth of knowledge and a really lovely lady. If you are looking for an outstanding Real Estate Agent, that works for “you”, you will be very happy if you choose First Meridian. 59 Jupiter Road, Kellyville

We recently sold our property at Rouse Hill thanks to the hard work of James at First Meridian. In a tough climate, James was a true professional throughout, always providing feedback and any advice that was needed, remaining contactable at all times, should we need him. I would recommend James to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. If seeking an agent possessing a friendly, honest and thorough approach, James is your man. Nicki and Scott

Highly recommended agent

Highly recommended agent

My wife and I are truly exceptionally satisfied at our amazing and speedy experience in the sale of our villa, especially in what is a significantly difficult and patchy market overwhelmed by naysayers!! James has been truly incredibly diligent, attentive, courteous, understanding, obliging and unquestionably highly knowledgeable and experienced in discharge of his responsibilities whilst representing us. We can highly recommend James if you’re considering listing your property!! He will not let you down.

Absolutely fantastic!

We would have no hesitation in recommending James and his team. Our home sold after only one open in a relatively tough market for the exact price point we were aiming for. James went above and beyond in securing the sale of our home all the while remaining calm, honest, reassuring and level headed with great communication.

A Thorough Gentleman
almost 8 years ago
A Thorough Gentleman

When the time finally came to sell our family home, we knew there was only one agent that we wanted to work with. We had met James numerous times over the last couple of years whilst we were searching for a new house to upgrade to. As a potential buyer, we were impressed with how polite and courteous he was, unlike many other agents that we met who were far too pushy. James is first and foremost a thorough gentleman, who is very genuine and humble. He has a calming influence, which is beneficial, particularly in a softening market where it is easy to become a little distressed and emotional as a seller. James is well researched and has a thorough understanding and knowledge of the latest economic events that contribute to what is happening in the market place. He is simply more than just a real estate agent. This enables you to have comfort and a realistic idea of what you can expect to realise on the sale of your property and in what time frame. We are still amazed that we managed to sell our house after one open home with James at a price that we were more than pleased with. When the time comes again to sell, we will use James without hesitation and have recommended him to family and friends that are thinking of selling in the forseeable future. We could not have been more pleased with the whole process with James. In closing, this is the first review I have ever written in my life. The reason I have chosen this as my first (and probably last) is that I have such a high opinion of James that I felt compelled to share it with others so that they may be fortunate enough to also engage his services and have such a fulfilling experience as we did. Regards, Scott
