“What can we say and where do we start! Wow Wow Wow! Having lived in Rouse Hill for 16 years we obviously knew of Meridien and had heard of your achievements. We’d seen many testimonials and received flyers in the mail and guess what? They are all true! You are amazing, a credit to the Real Estate Industry and to work with you in the selling process was just effortless. There was never a moment to doubt neither your professionalism nor your confidence in achieving a top sale for our property. Every phone call or email was answered if not immediately, but with a very short time frame. Our entire experience in selling our home with you was flawless. You made us feel like part of your family and we felt you treated our home like it was your own. 2 Open homes and we had multiple offers. You achieved a result well above our expectations not to mention a new street record! In fact it wasn’t until we actually got the letter from you that the actual figure started to sink in. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone wishing to sell their home, in fact we would find it hard to understand why anyone would want to sign with any other agent.” Adam & Jodie Ross

We asked 7 agencies through our house, each time we were left feeling unsure. Our first impression of James & Alexandra was outstanding. Professional, polished and completely capable, it was a welcome relief. We met two outstanding agents who were accomplished, told us the real deal and never gave us spin or hype about the house. Once we had spent some time with James & Alexandra we knew we were in good hands. It’s a hard thing, giving your house to an agency to sell. It requires trust, a strong sense of direction, and shared outcomes. Never were we in doubt about where we stood at every step of the way. Clear communication, completely transparent feedback and really ho nest styling advice for the house. To say our house was ‘challenging’ would be conservative. We had some stand out features and also some fairly obvious downsides. As we pointed out these positive and negative features it was clear from the get-go that First Meridien knew what they were doing. Challenging, yes. Impossible, no. From the minute we signed our contract is was a smooth process. They made every effort to showcase what we believe is a fantastic home. No energy was spared and we felt James & Alexandra went above and beyond for us. Both agents are punctual, smiling (even on 40 degree days) and were genuinely excited about what our home had to offer. And speaking of offers ... we were stunned. Thrilled. Both James & Alexandra worked hard for us, adapting their campaign, being flexible and responsive when it was required. And it happened for us. An offer that surprised us and also made us thankful we’d picked the right people. We truly believe we did. We trusted the right people. And they came through for us. We would encourage all future vendors to sign with First Meridien and have absolute confidence in James & Alexandra.

For what generally seems like an absolute nightmare of a time we had nothing but smooth sailing in the sale of our home. We found a new property that we loved, spoke to 3 agents who all had varying idea's on the probable sale price of of property and then chose the agents we hoped would do the best job. We sold for 9% more than the most pessimistic agent valued or in dollar terms $80,000 more. Professional, polite and capable are words that spring to mind. Thank you James & Alex You guys made our dream a reality. Joe

I was more than happy with the service provided by First Meridien - James & Alexandra. Although I did a lot of research myself for up to 8 months, I could see that Meridien was certainly standing out far more than their competitors. I agree it also has been a strong market as well so didn't feel I would have a problem selling the home anyway. When I met with James and Alexandra I felt comfortable. Their brochure package looked professional. Meridiens communication via letters added a nice touch which I really liked and no other estate seemed to be doing this. At all times they were in constant contact to keep me informed, I never had to chase them to see how everything was progressing. Although, Negotiating the sale could improve I feel, I just felt that Meridien maybe struggled a bit to please both sides of the sale. I believe this could have been because they are passionate about the business they are in and that they would have wanted the best outcome for both the seller and buyer. Overall, I don't believe you would be disappointed if choosing Meridien as your estate agent, they do care is what I saw and felt.

To James & Alexandra We would like to express our sincere thanks for a job well done. We offered you the opportunity to sell our house and from that moment on you took control, by explaining the process and implementing a full media package. While this felt a little daunting I believe it was important to the overall bundle. Your guidance with house preparation and the approach of identifying the value add components such as the surrounding area as a bonus to prospective buyers continued to add more value to the end sale. The result was nothing short of outstanding with the house going on the net Thursday, an open homes on the Saturday with over 25 families visiting the property, and a final offer and acceptance by the Sunday evening. The financial result was also well above expectations which completed a very busy two week period for us all. Thank you for an excellent job. Brian & Leonie

Harry and I would like to take this opportunity to thank both James and Alexandra for their special effort in selling our great mansion. Ultimately our decision to go with First Meridian was the Best! All happened so fast, just in 2 days we had offers coming in. They were constantly in touch with us, sometime till very late evening. It was Sunday morning and James birthday too; when both personally came home to give us the excellent news. We were just overwhelmed and speechless at the result. And by the next open house, we had the SOLD sticker. Their commitment to getting the job done in a professional and courteous manner is commendable. We definitely would like to recommend anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Harry and Heena Lagad

Dear James & Alexandra I had considered putting my home on the market a number of times over the last few years as I felt it was time to close that chapter of my life and start a new one, but had never felt entirely confident with the whole process – it seemed all too hard and sadly the real estate industry suffers a little in its reputation. That all changed recently when I found a smaller home that I felt was right for me at this stage of my life. In the course of investigating and meeting local agents to sell my home we met and talked about what needed to be done and the process for selling home and I was impressed from the very start with how you conducted yourselves. Everyone kept saying how stressed I must be, but you know, I was never stressed (maybe a tad emotional) as I truly felt I was in good hands. You kept me up to date the entire time, handled everything and made it so easy. You achieved an unbelievably fantastic price for me and I can’t thank you both enough. You are both honest, thoughtful, very nice (and that’s very important) and true professionals and I believe the world is yours for the taking. Thank you both again, Pam Ibbott

We are more than happy to be able to recommend James and Alexandra from First Meridien Realty to manage the process of selling your home. The advice James offered when we were planning to sell was invaluable. He took the time to discuss with us what we needed to do in order to be well prepared. Very importantly we took his advice and followed through with everything he recommended. We were able to feel very confident in his ability and professional approach to every aspect of the sale. The marketing video was first class and really told the story of our home and the area we loved. Selling your home is very personal and James & Alexandra were great to go through this process with. We found James is someone you can trust to guide you through the process and will work with to achieve his best results for you.

Dear James Bill and I would like to thank you and Alexandra for the fantastic result you achieved in selling our property. To date it was the best price in our street, so we are very happy. We had been contemplating selling for more than a year, during which time both of you had been in contact with us many times, providing us with market updates and what was happening in the area, so it was an easy process to select you as our agent when we finally decided to sell. Our dealings with both of you have been both pleasant and professional and we would highly recommend your services to any prospective client.

To Whom It May Concern, I found the service was extremely professional. Our house was sold 3 days after going on the market I feel because of the great presentation of the marketing which made our property very desirable to potential buyers. We would like to thank James & Alexandra for their advice for the best price for our home. I would highly recommend their service for anyone wishing to sell their home. Karen & Robert Whittaker
