A fantastic result with James Holvander - Meridien Realty Rouse Hill

A fantastic result with James Holvander - Meridien Realty Rouse Hill

James' knowledge of the local area was nothing short of brilliant. He gave honest opinions, recommendations and advice but he also listened very carefully to our expectations and followed through and delivered an outstanding outcome. James sold our house within the first week! The team from Meridien Realty Rouse Hill are professional, friendly, and respectful They always follow up and reply in a timely manner. Nothing is ever too hard and they always make themselves available to you. We have no hesitation in recommending James to anyone that is selling their property, we certainly made the right choice!

Our Home was sold very quickly

Our Home was sold very quickly

James and the team at Meridien Realty first impressed us back in 2007 when we were the purchasers of our home. At that point James worked particularly hard to get the best price for his vendors, and I always said that when the time came around for us to sell, then James would be given first chance. Well, one open home, 3 contracts and a good offer (after some skillful negotiating on James's part) we were done. James delivered! A great outcome that we had always believed would happen.

Great Result!

Great Result!

After being unable to sell only a few years ago, we were skeptical about whether we would get the price that James was aiming for! We were elated when James secured well over our agreed minimum price! And all within the first weeks on the market! Job Well Done!

Simply the Best !

Simply the Best !

We were considering selling our house in Rouse Hill for a couple of years now. In our consideration of agents, James stood out. Reason being his presence in the local market. All we kept seeing was Meridien, signs going up " open home" and a few days later "SOLD". Therefore , we knew, regardless of the hype by others, James and Alexandra got the job done and done quick. As a sales person, James genuinely engages with the unique idiosyncrasies and unique needs and situations of the sellers and manages the dynamics extremely well and handles the situation with care, compassion and understanding. James invests and develops long term relationships. James advised us on what improvements we need to do to the house and what we don’t need to do … i.e., over capitalisation. What effects a buyer’s decision, what is required from a compliance perspective and aesthetics that matter and not. James by the way, could not do what he does so well, without his partner in business, Alexandra, who is a force behind the scenes, organising, coordinating and making it happen. Alexandra is a brilliant Marketer who comes up with ingenious ideas and creative concepts within her arsenal of photographers and Drone pilots ! James and Alexandra .. are just genuine people, who are honest, we after engaging James and Alexandra, for the sale of our house came out of it feeling we have gained two genuine friends who have gone above and beyond to help us with this sale as well as helped us with the next stage of our process in buying. Regards The Sinclair Family – Rouse Hill.

WOW, What a wonderful experience

WOW, What a wonderful experience

James and his Team communicated exceptionally well during all phases of our sale. He provided genuine proven advice and his calm, reassuring nature was needed during what can be a difficult time. His professionalism, attention to detail, market knowledge and dedication to the Rouse Hill property market is second to none. The Team was highly organised and efficient securing a record sale in a matter of days. James is driven to achieve the best results for his clients and he is extremely good at what he does. If you want the best there is no other choice. We do not hesitate to recommend James and his Team.

Personable, professional, prompt.... and not PUSHY at all!

Personable, professional, prompt.... and not PUSHY at all!

We reached out to a few real estate agents via social media as we wanted to go onto their database as we were looking to buy in specific areas and these agents covered our desired geographies. James was incredibly prompt in responding which was a breath of fresh air - especially since we had felt with other agents they could take us or leave us (since competition is so fierce for property at the moment). James helped us understand important details and positives about the property in a professional way and we never felt he was being pushy. His communication was clear and concise - there were no games and he was incredibly helpful in responding to our questions since this was the first established house we had actually bought. Beyond this incredible professionalism though, we discovered James is a decent person who truly enjoys matching buyers to the right home for them. I didn't expect to find such a normal, empathetic and honest person in the real estate industry to be honest and I kept waiting for the catch. There was none. He's the type of agent you are hoping is selling your dream home because he does what he says he will do, in a timely manner and with genuine warmth.

I am happy to give my personal recommendation to Rate My Agent for James Holvander

James was honest with his expecations on the price he felt we would get for our home, was always professional and his communication skills are clear making sure we were up to date with all prospective buyers. His good knowledge of the historical and current Rouse Hill market gave me confidence for him to look after our loved family home. Alexandra and her marketing team also did a wonderful job with our homes photography which I am sure helped with the quick sale.

A very stress free experience compared to other Agents.

A very stress free experience compared to other Agents.

James has an 18 year track record of selling houses in Rouse Hill and there could be no one with better knowledge of the market. There is a good chance he has already sold the house previously that you are wanting to buy and he can tell you all you need to know about the property's history. He is always approachable and contactable at all times and has a great team behind him who help with a seamless process in selling your home. Please compare James with any of the other agents and you will discover he makes the whole process a very simple and relaxing one. Regards, Steve & Maree Parker
