About James
Born and bred on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, James Alegre is a lifelong local who brings integrity, clarity, and genuine care to every property transaction.

James built his career over more than seven years working across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore, and the Northern Beaches, achieving Top 5% performance within one of Australia’s largest real estate networks early in his career. He later established himself in some of the Northern Beaches’ most competitive pockets, starting from scratch in a new area and earning trust through persistence, local knowledge, and genuine relationships.

This depth of experience allows him to anticipate buyer behaviour, position homes effectively, and extract maximum value while maintaining strong relationships on both sides of the transaction.

More Than Just an Agent, Someone Who Had My Back

More Than Just an Agent, Someone Who Had My Back

A huge thank you to Chris and the team at The North Agency for helping me sell my childhood home. ❤️ From the get-go, I knew Chris had my back and would do everything he could to achieve the best possible price in the current market. He was genuine, approachable and always available to answer my questions, talk through my concerns and guide me through the process. We shared a few laughs along the way, along with a few inevitable tears (sorry about that, Chris!). Selling my childhood home was a bittersweet milestone, bringing with it so many memories and emotions, but ultimately it was a necessary step towards moving forward. Having Chris in my corner made such a difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care, support and commitment he showed throughout the process. Thank you, Chris, and the whole team at The North Agency for making what was always going to be an emotional journey as smooth as possible. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done. ❤️

Chris was very easy to deal with, friendly as well as professional.

Chris is an honest, easy going person who made the whole process of viewing, negotiating and buying this property as smooth as possible. Being a first home buyer, I felt quite out of my depth with the whole process but Chris was very understanding and encouraging. He always responded promptly to any queries I had.

Excellent communicator

Excellent communicator

Chris was, without question, the best real estate agent we've worked with. From our first conversation through to settlement, Chris was honest, trustworthy, responsive and an exceptional communicator. Buying a property can be stressful, but he gave us complete confidence every step of the way. He was always available to answer questions, kept us informed throughout the process, and went above and beyond by connecting us with solicitors and helping navigate issues as they arose. What really stood out was his integrity. Chris worked hard to achieve a great outcome for both us as buyers and for the sellers. We never felt pressured or unsure of where we stood. His market knowledge, professionalism and genuine commitment to doing the right thing made the entire experience seamless. If you're looking for an agent who is reliable, honest and truly cares about delivering the best outcome for everyone involved, I couldn't recommend Chris highly enough. An absolute standout in the industry.

The North Agency made our purchase very easy

We dealt mainly with Eddy from The North and Eddy made our experience as stress free as buying a house could be! We found his communication to be very friendly, transparent and professional. Post offer acceptance, Chris was involved in the communication with solicitors and he was also professional in his approach. I would definitely recommend The North agency for anyone looking at selling or buying on the Northern Beaches.

Harry is a legend

Harry is a legend

We’ve known Harry for a few years now, and from the very beginning he has always been incredibly helpful to us — even at times when there was absolutely nothing in it for him. That says a lot about the kind of person he is. Recently, Harry helped us sell our unit in Dee Why, and we couldn’t have been happier with the way he handled the whole process. He created amazing interest in the property and always worked hard to achieve the best possible result for us. What we appreciated most was that we never felt like just another sale. Harry genuinely cares about people, listens, gives honest advice and is always prepared to go the extra mile when it matters. He is also simply a really nice person to deal with. Easy to talk to, genuine, professional, and someone you can trust. We’re very grateful that our paths crossed a few years ago. Selling the unit may have completed this particular chapter, but we’ll definitely stay in touch with Harry and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who genuinely cares about both the people and the result. Thank you for everything, Harry!
