Flawless buying experience

James was the seller's agent for a property we recently purchased. The process was flawless end to end, notably regarding: - The transparency and honesty of James and his team regarding the property & context of the sale; - The reactivity and clear communication throughout our interactions; - Their obvious knowledge of the North Shore suburbs and experience in the transaction process; - The care given to us while we were waiting in the SEA office for critical documents from our solicitors after-hours. I can only recommend SEA and will confidently rely on them to sell our property if we ever decide to do so.

A thrilling sale!

James was thoroughly professional throughout the sale. He was also helpful with suggestions not strictly related to the sale. As a local agent, James was on top of the market at all times. He kept us fully informed of our options leading up to the auction, then handled what was effectively a min-auction before the event resulting in a sale price we had not contemplated - $150,000 above the reserve. Thank you James and the team for a great result.

Sold pre-auction

Sold! James and the team at Smyth Estate Agents (SEA), worked diligently and sold our home prior to auction. We have known James for a number of years and he has an intimate knowledge of the local real estate market. He has many contacts in the area and always knows what is happening in the market. The point of difference for James is that his guidance on market price is realistic. He will not over promise and under deliver. His track record speaks for itself.

Professional, honest with personalized service beyond expectations

We were first introduced to James 6 years ago when my husband decided to do a soft sell. Still being too attached to our amazing property we decided to not go ahead even though James achieved an amazing result. 4 weeks ago we decided to list and downsize and not wishing to shop around for other agents who "up-sell the value" we went straight to James for an honest appraisal of its current value. So very glad we made that decision! Not only did we have amazing results with the number of views and interest due to his extensive data base and professional marketing campaign but James achieved a very quick sale in what is at present a very uncertain market due to current economic times. And negotiated a price beyond what we expected! Professional, honest with an instinctive knowledge of the real value of real estate in this area with a high respect for the vendor! Rare in this aggressive and volatile real estate market of unrealistic promises!

In the end he managed to achieve a price greater than my expectations in a very smooth and timely sale.

Transparent reliable local knowledge

Transparent. Reliable. We had been looking for a year- James was always available, gave reliable advice and kept us informed of real estate market opportunities. He is dependable and experienced for local advice. We were stressed about possibly being gazumped after making an offer. James was true to his word- our offer was accepted without condition. We are so pleased to find our dream home.

Professional, honest and straight-forward

As a buyers agent, I found James to be absolutely professional in his dealings with myself and by buyers. James was responsive and acommodating to our needs when it came to requesting information and arranging additional inspections. During negotiations, James was very clear about the process was true to his word.

Fantastic experience

James managed to sell my house and find me another, all with complete professionalism, in the middle of a corona virus! We got a great result - no stress - and all within three weeks. A fantastic job.

Excellent and professional agent in testing times.

James runs a very professional and honest approach to a stressful and sensitive sales process. The process is considerably easier during positive real estate markets however James really proved his value, knowledge and professionalism during a completely unique time with the Covid-19. I would not hesitate to engage him again for future sales and his knowledge of the lower northern beaches market is exceptional. thanks again
