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

My husband and I have no doubts that we chose the best agent to sell our property. Previous to selling, we employed James and his team at SEA to manage our property as a rental and the service was without fault for the 2yrs. James and his staff are highly knowledgeable in all areas of realestate. Communication has been open, professional, timely and consistent. My husband and I have relied largely on James to advise us on the entire selling process and he has also been central in answering questions about buying. James guided us through our selling campaign seamlessly. We put complete trust in James and his team and it certainly paid off. James is straight talking, professional and honest in his dealings and strives to reach the best result for his clients. Thank you James and the friendly team at SEA.

Thank you James, Rana and the Team of Smyth Estate Agents for both the sale of my property and rental managing for the past 2 years. Rana, and the rental team have kept me informed throughout the process and communication was great. Being in Indonesia for periods of time was no barrier to communications or updates. James, has a very approachable personality which made buyers feel comfortable. He is also very present during the sale campaign, i.e. was at every open for inspection (despite other properties on the market), provided detailed reports on inspection statistics and devoted to get us the best outcome. Overall he exceeded my expectations with the end result. He is very knowledgeable of the property market and is highly recommended. I would highly recommend Smyth Real Estate for both rental agent and sale of your property. Thank you TEAM Smyth

James & his staff have been wonderful to deal with. This has been a tricky sale as we had it on the market when the market was very slow last year & it wasnt selling. James helped us by renting it out for 6 months & then putting it back on the market. It sold within a couple of weeks. I would reccommend to anyone James & Smyth Estate agents to buy & sell your property. They are very professional & very easy & friendly to deal with. Thanks again James.

We didn't know James from a bar of soap prior to putting our place on the market, from the start we were at ease with his style, knowledge and professionalism and as we weren't living in the area it just made it easier working with him

Being overseas vendors we wanted the sale of our home to be in the best hands - that’s why we chose James. Right from the get go he advised what we needed to do to get it ‘sale ready’ and managed every aspect getting the trades people through straight away so it was ready for the market in no time at all. He kept us up to date after every inspection with detailed feedback from everyone that came through. We were blown away with the result of the sale that was achieved before even going to auction. We are thrilled with the exceptional result which James achieved for us. We cannot recommend James highly enough and will not hesitate to use his services in the future.

James provided a highly personalized and professional service. He was the only agent to spend the time properly researching the market to help me set my expectations accordingly. He went well beyond the generic research provided by the other agents I spoke with and then exceeded the very high price expectations he had already set within a very short time period. His professionalism and communication is outstanding, I never waited more than 30 minutes for James to return a call, email or text. He also provided detailed analysis of the market up front and then at each stage of the process as well as the opens and kept me up to date constantly of any activities. He actively worked to minimize marketing costs but at the same time to maximise exposure to ensure a difficult to sell property was given every opportunity to shine to its target market. James' 100% sell rate over 2019 is a very obvious testament to his knowledge of the market, his absolute commitment to selling every property for the very best price possible, and his recruitment of an amazing team of like-minded people.

James recently sold my mothers apartment in Manly. We were skeptical going to market as, historically, properties such as this had not sold well, if at all. James was however quietly confident with listing and marketing the property. He set a realistic price point so as not to artificially raise expectations for both buyer and seller. James proved himself to be an astute negotiator achieving an impressive final sale price on the property.
