We wanted to sell our home. We needed an agent - a good agent. Who can we get? A friend of ours recommended James Holvander at Meridien. James had sold our friend's place several years back. So we gave James a call and he came out to see us. Very impressive, knew his stuff, and was a very personable bloke. Half an hour later we signed his Agency Agreement. From that moment on everything worked like clockwork. We got excellent advice on preparing our property for sale, a fantastic marketing plan, and ongoing communication and feedback. James was always available when we needed to talk to him. We went to market on 4th March , signed the contract on 6th March and are now awaiting settlement. James negotiated a far better price than we expected. It was a job well done. James and his marketing team, led by Alexandra, have our sincere gratitude and appreciation, and we are delighted to give Meridien our unreserved recommendation. Dieter and Marlies Remund

After consultation with many of the leading estate agents in our area, we chose James Holvander from First Meridien Realty to market and sell our home. James stood above the rest with his knowledge of the area, professionalism, diligence and courtesy. During the sale period James organised open homes & private inspections that were always arranged around convenience for us. At all inspections James was present which meant he was aware of all interested parties and could follow them up directly. We were kept up to date with informative feedback provided by James directly. James was consistently available to us even though our sale transitioned through the Christmas New Year period. The sale was handled with complete competency by James which aloud us to remain calm and stress free during the 3 week period it took James to secure a sale at a price we were very pleased with. The contact we had with the James and the extended Meridien team was always courteous, helpful and nothing was ever to much trouble. My wife and I would certainly recommend James Holvander to anyone considering selling their home.

We sold our investment property in a newly established suburb through James. We had a lot of competition with similar homes in close vicinity on the market at the same time as our property. James diligently worked with the interested party to ensure that we had a firm offer we were happy to accept. James was also very accommodating answering our calls and queries. He was very prudent during the cooling off process to ensure that any potential issues were raised with us so that we could anticipate any queries from the buyers.

Dear James, We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your services with regards to selling our property at 14 Harry Gilbank Way Kellyville. After initially listing our property with alternative agents and being frustrated with the lack of progress and enthusiasm, we took charge of our situation and contacted you – and the rest as they say is history as the results speak for themselves. Your selling process commenced with an assessment of how to best represent our house to the market, this provided us with a strong level of comfort that we were dealing with high skilled professionals something that was drastically missing prior to engaging First Meridien. It was a truly comforting experience to have both of you as our sales agents! Your extensive knowledge of the Hills' district market and in people made the entire sales situation a breeze. We also appreciated the wonderful online advertising and your neutral, calm and professional approach to both parties. We would certainly not hesitate to recommend you to others we know wishing to sell or to buy in the area. Yours truly, Allan and Diana Tagliaferro.

Simply fantastic. James Holvander and his team were always enthusiastic and extremely professional. They communicated every aspect for each open home and were very diligent in follow-ups and reporting. Therefore they achieved a positive end result in the sale of our family home.

When it came time to sell my house I had no doubt about who to contact. Having used James in a previous sale there was no looking for another agent. James is not only an expert in Real Estate with a fabulous knowledge of the local area but also a true professional, who is honest and provides excellent customer service in all areas of the process. I can't thank James enough for the interest and the time that he gave to selling my property which under most circumstances can be stressful but in my case was a seamless process. I would have no hesitation in recommending James and the team to all my friends and family for anyone wishing to sell their property. Best regards Sue O'Brien

When Lesley and I decided to sell our single storey Masterton Home in Kellyville being around 10 years old we obtained three property appraisals from local real estate agents and after some deliberation we decided to go with First Meridien Realty as they have a branch at Castle Hill and Rouse Hill. We have noticed they sell a large number of properties in the Hills District. We were introduced to Marianne initially when we originally were negotiating in the marketing and the selling process and James became involved in the open house presentation and the negotiating of the sale. Our house was sold within two weeks of being on the market. We are so pleased that we went with the team at First Meridien Realty and with our great result we have recommended Meridien to a friend around the corner and it now appears James has been successful in selling their house. Again thank you for all your teams hard work in achieving our great result. Lesley & Brian
