James was outstanding. Kept us informed at all times. A pleasure to deal with.


James demonstrated great negotiation skills when it was required and he was constantly communicating updates about the property.

James was very helpful to us throughout the selling process and provided sound recommendations and good advice that gave us an outstanding result at auction! Thanks James.

I dealt with James for my sale and found him to be very professional, always kept me informed during the process and knew the market well. I would highly recommend James and Hocking Stuart (Armadale) team.

Good knowledge of the local market. Diligent and punctual. Very good communicator. Great auctioneer. Honest and very straightforward through the entire process. We would definitely recommend James.

Right from the “get go” James demonstrated an unsurpassed level of enthusiasm from his initial meeting and presentation through to the sale of the property. Every request made to James through the marketing program was efficiently resolved and always with good grace, nothing was too problematic. James’s level of communication was of high standard both in his reporting and or providing general informational progress updates. James, in his role of auctioneer bought the prospective purchasers along on a journey which concluded in negotiating a sale price which was very acceptable. A great result by James.

James supported by Walter Summons provided us with confidence in their approach to the sale and listened to our needs which were met . Their personalities were always showing positive attitudes to achieve success Their approach to and negotiations, with the eventual purchaser and others, showed they had good processes to bring success .

James and Lauchlan kept me up to date on potential buyer activity and answered questions promptly. They set a realistic sale price target but did not pressure me to accept less than I wanted. The number of buyers shown through the apartment was better than average, and the sales result was above my expectations. I would recommend James and Lauchlan.

Could not be happier with Lauchlan and James, communication was excellent we always knew what was going on, who the interested parties were and also the challenges. Felt comfortable they were doing everything they could to get people through the door with it all ending in an amazing result.

my wife and I had the pleasure of working with James on the sale of our home in Windsor. Right from the very start we were struck by his easy and friendly manner, and his determination to get us the best result possible. His knowledge of the local area was outstanding, and along with his equally impressive colleague Lachlan his advice on how best to market and target the campaign was exemplary. His skilful positioning of our property saw us benefit from features in both the Herald Sun and Weekly Review property sections, providing priceless free advertising! He kept us informed along every step of the journey and was extremely generous with his time, as well as being understanding of the particular demands placed on us by having an infant child at home. A great campaign is of course no guarantee of a great result at auction, but again James and his team (in particular the brilliant auctioneer Andrew) exceeded our expectations by securing a result well above what we had hoped for. From the first day to the last we felt that James and his team genuinely cared about getting us the best possible result and worked tirelessly to that end. The only disappointing aspect was when it was all over and we had to part ways! We could not recommend James high enough
