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.

My family and I would like to express our immense thanks to you both for the recent sale of our home. The decision to sell was not an easy one but thanks to your professional and caring manner the process was remarkably easy and stress free. We believe your attention to detail and invaluable experience were key to the success of the sale. You kept us fully updated on market feedback during each stage of the sale and communicated clearly and promptly on progress and other relevant information. The impressive time frame of sale combined with what we consider to be a record final sale price was incredible. We were blown away with the final result as it was something we did not think could be achieved. The regard to care you showed in selling our property was exemplary and your efforts and true professionalism second to none. Once again, we would sincerely like to thank you both so much for our selling experience with you. We strongly recommend anyone considering selling their property to list with First Meridien Realty as you can rest easy; you are certainly in excellent hands. Well done James and Alexandra, and thank you for everything! Michael and Leesa Kelly

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

When it came to selecting a real estate agency to sell our property I organised one full day to interview six agencies with the best sales results in Kellyville over the past 3 months. James and Alexandra impressed me straight away. They didn’t make promises to secure my business or try and discount their professional fees or marketing costs. What they did say resonated with me. Upon selecting James and Alexandra to sell our home they were quick to action. They walked us through the home advising us on styling tips to maximise the effect for the promotional photography and video. The end result for both the internet and paper ads were spectacular. The response was fast with enquiries straight away. They clearly knew the importance of marketing to make the best impression on the market. On the weekend of the first open home James was in regular contact with updates on the sale negotiation. The final sale price was well above our expectations. I have no doubts what so ever that James and Alexandra got the best possible price for our property. Not only would I not hesitate in using them again I have already recommended them to several family members in the Hills area.

What can we say but WOW!! Oh my God !! what a fantastic result. SOLD at a price way beyond our expectations. We thank you for achieving such an outstanding result on the sale of our house in just 3 Days. We met with a couple of other local Agents prior to meeting with James and Alexandra but none gave us the confidence and relaxed comfort feeling projected by James and Alexandra. The marketing approach was excellent especially the video which really showed off our home to its maximum. We can highly recommend James and Alexandra as we know they will work to get the very best result for you. Thnkyou so very much from Mike & Pam Andrew

We had seen a lot of First Meridien signs in my area, and the properties had sold within a short period of time. After meeting with both Alexandra and James we was impressed with their enthusiastic and professional approach. During our first meeting with them they didn't push us into making a decision to go with them. They kindly came back for another meeting and gave us time to ask and explain the selling process in detail. We had a twilight viewing during the weekend and with the first Saturday viewing James had the property sold. The price achieved was excellent and we are very grateful for the team at First Meridien who made it happen and in such a short time of been on the market. James, Alexandra and all the staff at First Meridien have done a superb job for us, we are delighted with the result and the experience overall was great. We have no hesitation at all in recommending James and First Meridien

We first met James and Alexandra during the process of looking for our new home. After attending many open homes and watching the way different estate agents presented and dealt with prospective clients, we knew by the end of the purchase of our home, that we wanted James and Alexandra to represent us for the sale of our previous home. Their professionalism and sound knowledge of the market place was evident and their advice on how to prepare our home for sale was spot on. We loved our home of 17 years and were amazed at the final result in the first week. The look and final price exceeded our expectations. We have now used James and Alexandria to both buy and sell our properties - and cannot thank them enough for their expert guidance through what is normally a very stressful time. We had every confidence in their ability throughout the process. regards David, Julie and family.

I can't imagine there being a more efficient, honest, sincere and thoughtful pairing of two Agents; who not only clearly understand the Real Estate Market but who also have a genuine love for what they do. Thank you, for coming into our home and helping us to enhance our property inside and out. The thorough and meticulous initial appraisal based on a very "no bull" attitude and abundance of Real Estate knowledge was refreshing. It was most impressive to have two people who don't just whip out internet picture print outs and sales histories on previously sold properties; by only God knows who?! Thanks to your Superior Marketing Strategies and hard networking you produced a bevy of serious buyers, our very first Open Home saw an amazing 38 couples/families walk through. No sooner had you waved goodbye to the last couple at our Open Home, several serious offers just effortlessly flowed through, thanks to your very successful method of showcasing and hard work. Immediately you worked tirelessly day and night negotiating these offers, keeping us updated and never left any buyers hanging. Between the two of you, there was ALWAYS someone available whenever we needed you, always delivered, always on time and very accommodating; which we were particularly grateful for with our unpredictable routine of raising a young family. Problems? What problems? If there were any; we certainly didn't know because you had our backs from beginning to end! The word is out there and the gossip in the Hills District is true.... The best team around.... Ready, Steady, SOLD & thanks for coming! No wonder the two of you are ranked No. 1 Agents. If anyone, regardless of their predicament is looking to sell their home, WE DARE YOU to trust your most valuable asset to anyone but James & Alexandra of First Meridien Realty. All the very best to you both, what a wonderful and most memorable experience this has been for our family, you have given us a great start in our new home.

Dear James and Alexandra Thank you for the fantastic result in selling my home. The price you achieved after only one open home and only three days on the market was way beyond my expectations. As I mentioned, I really felt that I had won the lottery, so great was the result you achieved. Thanks also for making it so easy. James asked me at our first meeting what I thought was the most important attribute I wanted in my selling agent. I replied that I needed to be able to trust that my agent would do the utmost to get the maximum price, keep me informed, and provide honest advice to me at all times. You both did exactly that! So with a result I am still pinching myself to believe is real, I wholeheartedly recommend James and Alexandra as your selling team.
