An honest agent who goes above and beyond

An honest agent who goes above and beyond

Anyone needing a property sales agent in the Canberra region should use Ben James! We were so happy with him as our agent! As we live a long distance from Canberra, we were particularly grateful for how easy and smooth he made the whole sale process and how informed he kept us the entire way. Ben went above and beyond in everything for us. He dropped mail from the property to our rental agent's office, he arranged the building and pest reports for us and got quotes for furniture hire, he phoned our solicitors (who were dragging the chain) every day for a week until they had performed their job, he even set us up with an interested buyer for a shipping container that was on the property which we needed to sell. Best of all, Ben secured a sale price for our property that was $40,000 above what we had expected in only 6 days on the market! Right from the beginning, he had a very clear idea on the best pricing and marketing strategies for the property. He was never pushy or arrogant, but was always very genuine with us, and not too proud to get the opinion of a second agent at McGrath when he felt it was necessary. Also, it was very important to us to choose an agent which we felt would have been equally as honest, friendly and helpful to potential buyers as he was to us. We know that Ben has met this criteria. Some family went along to the viewings and said he was fantastic. He took a number of groups that couldn't make the public viewings to the property privately, sometimes outside business hours. When exchange of contracts for the property was held up by solicitors, he was keeping the buyers as well as us informed on the progress on almost a daily basis. In sum, we cannot sing Ben's praises enough! He is an honest person who is determined to go out of his way to get the best outcome for his clients.

Refreshingly honest

We recently bought a property in Canberra, although we live in Perth. Ben was accessible, honest and straightforward in helping us settle the deal by telephone and email. Ben went out of his way to help us through the hoops, and to keep us updated. Once the purchase was finalised, Ben was very helpful in preparing the property for us, and we were well informed as to the maintenance requirements and contacts.

Ben was professional and friendly to deal with throughout the process of selling our home. We valued his prompt communication, honesty and ability to develop a rapport from the beginning. He was more than flexible with inspection times and provided us with regular updates after each open home. We would not hesitate to recommend Ben - many thanks for all your work!

Ben was a friendly and diligent agent to deal with. He was calm and organised and always ensured both my fiance and I and the sellers were fully informed in all the processes and was available to take calls. Additionally was understanding that we were both school teachers and called at appropriate hours. Thanks so much Ben, would highly recommend you.
