About James
James Smyth is not an agent, just a standout individual with a unique drive for property, knowledge, people and negotiations. A memory like no other, a recall ability that defies normality, but an upbringing, education and ethical stance that exudes class and pure experience that no seller nor landlord could afford not to have on their side. A real natural when it comes to reading the outcome and possibly the best and recognised closer in the business.

I'd give him 6 stars if there were more

In a nutshell, James knows the Freshwater market and the surrounding area, like the back of his hand. He is authentic about his knowledge and his advice. I felt 100% confident because of James, he is truly open and supportive to work with. I know so little about the process and the Freshwater market, so it meant everything when he held my hand through the whole process. I didn’t even feel the need to leave Redfern for the auction; James took care of everything - including achieving the ultimate - a great result. And not an over promise. I’ll give him six stars. [He was also fun to deal with, a great sense of humour] Seamus C, Redfern

Unsurpassed local knowledge

There's a reason James is the #1 agent in Freshwater - a completely unsurpassed knowledge of the area and value of every property in it. Many agents will throw random numbers around to make the client get excited and let them down later but with James what you get is honest, professional service that can't be beaten. He works with the client and listens and has their best interests at heart which is reflected in great results. Would highly recommend you look no further when listing a property!

Genuine, motivating agent that will strive for the best result possible

James has always been visible and active in the community, and we have remained in touch with his agency for several years. We recently put a simple sales enquiry to James and his response was instantaneous. With the sales strategy agreed, James went to work immediately. An off-market approach suited our circumstance and James had the contacts to make it happen. James was open, transparent, and motivating through the entire process. Fin led by Ja

Smyth Estate Agents is a boutique agency with specialist knowledge of the Freshwater market.

James knows Freshwater and was able to give us a detailed and realistic assessment of the current market conditions and price expectations in the suburb before we engaged him to manage our sales campaign. He proved to be an accomplished communicator and provided us with detailed reports of interactions with prospective buyers. Additionally, James maintained regular verbal contact with us to ensure the campaign remained on track consistent with the agreed marketing strategy. James’s professionalism and strategic approach combined to achieve a sale prior to auction at a price within our agreed range. We are happy vendors.

Complete confidence

We recently sold our unit through SEA Real Estate, and I can't recommend them highly enough. James and John were outstanding throughout the entire process. Their confident sales approach and extensive experience made the sale incredibly smooth, and the result exceeded our price expectations. From start to finish, their professionalism, clear communication, and commitment to achieving the best outcome were evident. Thank you "Team SEA" for a seamless and stress-free real estate experience.
