Excellent local knowledge was key

Excellent local knowledge was key

James was recommended by a friend who recently sold who could not speak highly enough of his professionalism. I too encountered this and his team including Alex and the photographer were very relaxed and efficient. The stress was certainly taken away from this transaction as a result of James's knowledge, honesty and excellent commnication skills. I would highly recommend James and his team at Meridien Rouse Hill.

Best Knowledgeable Person to deal with.

Best Knowledgeable Person to deal with.

I and Saira are writing to express our sincere gratitude for your assistance in selling our home at 37 Milford Drive Rouse Hill NSW 2155. You made the whole process smooth and relatively painless with your high level of communication with us at all times. You listened carefully to us during the entire process and remained patient as we were making a big decision of our lives, something that not many other Real Estate Agents in the area managed to do. Likewise, your ability to understand what was important to us in the selling of our beloved family home made the selection of you and First Meridian Reality Rouse Hill very simple for us. You were great in your marketing on our behalf, and we felt your entire agency represented our house very well. Having been very sceptical about Real Estate Agents, to begin with, we were pleasantly surprised to find you amongst the agents here in Rouse Hill and would be more than happy to utilise your service again should we need it, or recommend you to others. Once again thank you so much for making us possible to move to the next chapter of our lives. Kind Regards Imran & Saira

Highest level of skills, integrity, and professionalism with above and beyond your expectation

We had the great pleasure of dealing with James in buying and selling our house in Rouse Hill. James was our agent when we bought our house 8 years ago, and now we sold our house recently through James as our agent again. We put our trust in him because of his great personality, highest level of skills, integrity and good ethics as an ultimate professional in real estate industry. His local knowledge and professionalism was the key to achieving a quick and impressive results. We are very thankful for his effort and hardwork throughout the process of selling our house. We are very pleased with the price that was achieved, resulting in an excellent outcome above and beyond our expectations. Without any reservations, we would recommend James to anyone considering selling their property. You will not be disappointed as he is the ultimate real estate professional. Why would you choose any other agent when you already know the most outstanding real estate agent within the Hills District or we would say the best ever real estate agent in the Southern Hemisphere- that is you...First Meredien Real Estate. All the best! From : Alfie & Maryloisa

Much more than a agent

Much more than a agent

Our process was a long and complicated one as we were tossing up between buying another house or land - eventually we went for the land option which took 2 1/2 to settle and James (and Alexandra) were constantly touching base with us throughout the whole process - many other agents had come and gone by that stage. James was always asking if he could help in any way regardless of what it was we needed and that went a long way in our eyes and once the house was on the market he explained the process, made recommendations (both positive and in the improvements to get the extra dollar) and backed himself with a sliding commission scale. A thorough professional who knows his market, knows his strengths and above all a gentleman. Would have no issues at all in recommending him to anyone.

Honest, knowledgable and patient in his approach!

Honest, knowledgable and patient in his approach!

When we decided to sell our property, we spoke to number of real estate agents within the area who promised us the earth and the moon (had we listed the property through them) however, we found that most were lacking or missing an element of honesty and were driven more by numbers than a genuine interest in what we as sellers hoped to achieve. On speaking with James he immediately struck us as being honest, knowledgable and patient in his approach. He listened carefully to what we wanted and used his professional expertise and wealth of knowledge in the real estate market to guide and work with us every step of the way as selling a property can be a stressful experience. We achieved above our desired sale price shortly after listing our house and were extremely happy with the outcome. I would certainly recommend James to anyone we know as he was fantastic and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Best local agent

Best local agent

James is a very kind and honest gentleman. Unlike other agents I met, he never bragging a lot, and always gave me very apropos suggestions. I still remember first time I wanted to sell my house he advised me it was not a good time to sell for the best price. While other agents always told to me it was the best time to sell whenever I asked. Also, his team is very professional on the way marketing my property, I am asking them to put a price I want to sell on the advertising, but they did a different, more professional way and sold it much more than my expectation. In addition, as a local agent, surprisingly, they did open house for potential customers during night time. My house was only officially opened once and get sold. But his team actually did 3 times open house in the night time for the potential buyers.

Fantastic to deal with from start to finish

We had the pleasure of purchasing our home through James 7 years ago, and were extremely impressed with his professional approach and understanding of our needs.When it came time to sell we did not hesitate to contact James to manage the sale of our property. Throughout the entire process his attention to detail, keeping us informed of the progress and doing everything he said he would do confirmed to both Lorelle and I that we had made the right decision. James got us the price for the property he said he would from the outset. His is a credit to his business and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thankyou James! Kind Regards Tim & Lorelle Mccarthy
