James made the sale process seamless, from when I first interviewed him through to the exchange. He is very informative and has a great weekly progress report. He managed the sale negotiations in a calm and professional manner, obtaining a very satisfying pre-auction sale result.

We found James and his team at SEA to be very helpful and easy to deal with. At the same time they were highly professional and gave us great advice on the presentation of our property.

Thank you James and team, you achieved a fantastic result. During the entire sale process your office was in constant communication, keeping us informed of how interest was progressing and always providing advice on how to proceed. You and the team made the entire process from signing on to settlement quite simple and seamless, which gave us a lot of confidence. Your knowledge of the local is second to none and I have no hesitation to use your services again.

James sold our home in Queenscliff several years ago and most recently our North Curly home. In both cases, the sale was swift and he achieved prices above our expectations. In both cases the transactions were open, honest and transparent. James knows and reads the market well and does not try to persuade with outlandish promises nor ridiculous expectations.

James Smyth really new the market well and was able to provide good advice on how best to market and sell our property. When we were first considering selling James provided budgets for the cost of selling that did not vary when we decided to go ahead nor through the course of the sale. James knowledge and level of information and detail provided was the reason we decided to go with SEA to sell our property. James was more than happy to share his network of service providers who we dealt with directly, which proved an excellent way to get value for money in preparing the property for sale, and ultimately in acheiving a sale price we were happy with. During the marketing period James and his team exceeded our expectations with an honest no nonsense communication style and when the time came at the end of the planned marketing period James exhibited excellent and fair negotiation skills, which we respected. We had a positive experience in selling our house and we intend to utilise James and his team's services if we ever sell a property again in the future. We would have no hesitation in recommending SEA to others proposing to do the same.

We evaluated a number of agents before selling our family unit in Freshwater. We decided on Smyth Estate Agents as James' in-depth experience, "real" as opposed to "perceived" local knowledge and a strong, recent data base of potential buyers meant using him was a no brainer. Originally, we were going to auction, but the leads James developed were so strong that we had an auction within an auction and the sale price he achieved for us was better than any our family had hoped for. It was a terrific result. Four happy customers. McCrea family

I would like to express my appreciation to James Smyth for his assistance in selling my home. After 65 years living in my family home I was ready to move on to a smaller and more manageable home unit. I chose Smyth Estate Agents because they are local agents who are familiar with and have an excellent knowledge of the Northern Beaches, On my first meeting with James I was impressed by his professional attitude and his ability to put me at ease. I was reassured that he had my best interests at heart. The personalised service from James and his team together with their marketing approach obtained the best possible price for my property. James kept me informed each step of the way in selling my home and this went a long way, both emotionally and professionally, to help me negotiate this process for the first time. I would definitely recommend Smyth Estate Agents to anyone selling their home who wants a positive outcome with an excellent result just as I have had. Yours sincerely Pamela Porteous

We met James Smyth of SEA, during one of several homes he had open for inspection, all of which were sold at better than expected outcomes. James stood out as he was the only agent that had called back to request feedback and then gave us the time to ask us what we wanted. We invited him over to assess our home, and he provided a thorough plan and strategy for the sale of our home. His team, advice and the extra service of providing trades to make the process perfect had the desirable effect and outcome to which we were extremely happy with. Nothing was ever a problem, communication was of the highest standard, and he was able to identify the real buyers and close the deal for a street record price. We would have no hesitation in recommending him and his entire team. It shows that an independent agency and local knowledge can provide a clear cut edge. His is a very focussed individual and can deliver. Chris and Mel.

We used James after a recommendation from two friends. He worked very hard and was a straight shooter. You don't need anything else from a agent . Even after the sale James has been on contract recommending houses in the area we were looking at ,even thought they were with other agents
