Experience. Local knowledge and personal attention led to a great result.

James is a trusted and professional agent who managed every step of the process efficiently and effectively. James listened to our needs and objectives and designed his strategies around us. His excellent communication throughout provided a clear picture of progress. He was able to negotiate a successful outcome in a relatively short timeframe. His experienced came through. It was a trouble free process - highly recommended.

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.

Quick sale, excellent price - James' advice and service was brilliant!

James and the team at Smyth Estate Agents were brilliant from the word go. When the time came for me to need to sell my unit, I lived on the other side of Sydney and was (very) occupied looking after my son on maternity leave. James guided me through the entire process remotely, visiting my property on multiple occasions to assess what renovations were really needed to obtain maximum return value, obtain quotes from trades and inspect the completion of works. I was incredibly impressed that within a week of the tenants moving out we had transformed my unit and were ready for inspections. Once we were in market, James kept me informed on buyer interest, providing excellent insight into how the campaign was progressing. His advice was spot on and I felt confident the entire way through. I am extremely impressed with my unit selling in just over 2 weeks for an excellent price and I could not have done it without James and his team.

first class service

James and his team have managed a property for us for some years. The service has been exceptional. Recently our tenant expressed an interest in buying the property. James immediately sprung into action. He met the tenant face to face to determine if she was ready to proceed. 3 days later she had agreed a price which broke the building record. Contracts were quickly exchanged. James had a clear strategy for negotiating with the tenant and it was superbly executed. We were kept informed throughout the process. James and his team have been fantastic and we would thoroughly recommend them as a leasing or sales agent.

Sold for a Block Record

I cannot recommend James Smyth of SEA highly enough. From our first contact James made the process simple, efficient and finally very rewarding. The sale was tricky in a fairly flat environment but James made wise recommendations, was straight-up in his assessments and eventually his expertise paid off. The final negotiations were carried out while we were on holiday and James handled these with the aplomb of a true professional. Well done James, the block record speaks for itself!
