Delivers the best results

I have no hesitation in recommending James Baker to anyone wishing to sell their home. Following the recent sale of our property we were extremely impressed with his professionalism, integrity and knowledge of the local market. When we next sell our home, our first call will be to James Baker and we will feel confident that he will deliver the best possible outcome for the sale.

An agent you would undoubtedly recommend to anyone who wants a good experience

I had very high expectations and also a lot of trepidation when it came to deciding on an estate agents. James was recommended to me by both friends who had bought and sold with him. He was very professional and respectful at all times. James came across as being very honest. He listened to my needs and wants and consistently delivered. He has exceptional market knowledge and a gentle manner and approach. This is a winning combination in my eyes. I honestly believe he gets the results because his moral compass is in the right place and he works tirelessly for his clients. He has a great team, that share similar traits. It was a very good experience and an agent I will and have recommended several times since.

James Baker raises the bar for all real estate agents.

James Baker raises the bar for all real estate agents.

There are many reasons to be impressed by James, but over-riding everything is his professionalism and willingness to understand the individuality of every vendor and their needs and the individuality of every property. James's proposal was tailored precisely for us, to the type of person who would most likely be attracted by our property and the best most cost-efficient means of advertising to them. He managed our expectations and was always honest and upfront with his reviews of progress. Waterfront properties frequently take six months or more to sell. We sold our house in three weeks and achieved to the dollar the price we wanted. Some tense negotiations were involved but James managed to shield us from the bulk of the stress. We've briefed him to find our next house.

Fantastic honest agent

Super agent. Has guided through buying, selling and buying again. Super diligent, great communicator and honest. One of the purchases James advised us on was not his listing but he took the time to assist us none the less. Top bloke, thank-you James.

Brilliant agent - we would use him again and again

We bought our house through James Baker, and decided on the spot that when the time came for us to sell, we would use him. We did, and he was brilliant. James' knowledge of the market is second-to-none, he is professional, warm, thoughtful and considered in his approach. He is incredibly responsive, proactive, and reasonable. We know that we as sellers got a great deal, as did the buyers. James is probably the most trustworthy and credible agent I have ever dealt with, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in using him again, and recommending him unreservedly to others. Thank you James for all your work!

Excellent real estate agent.

Excellent real estate agent.

James is a balanced family man who just happens to love his job. You really can't go wrong with James. He will do what is right and honest so I wouldn't hesitate buying off him too. (which we did on the first occasion we encountered him). This time around he was selling our property which was a difficult, quite unique piece of real estate that would only suit a particular set of individuals. James managed to find two parties, who both made an offer on the first open house. As we sold so early in the campaign, James made sure that the remainder of the advertising costs were returned to us. I don't think either my husband or I would have even thought about it, we were so elated with the result. James is one of those rare breeds. An honest real estate agent. He actually really likes his job and his clients. Moreover, he likes the person who is buying the property to whom he is selling it too. We have bought and sold many properties over the last 35 years and James is the first one that I can honestly say has an ethical mindset from the beginning to the end of the transaction. He is clear and reasonable without creating false expectations. He maintains a relationship with his clients even if they are not in the market and offers assistance even if he is not likely to benefit from that advice in the short term. On a personal note, he is very personable and never talks down to anyone. It was a pleasure working with you James. Kind regards, Amanda Barnes

Exceptional agent

Exceptional agent

We were both selling and seeking to purchase a house at the same time. On both fronts James was wonderful to deal with. On the sale of our property he was attentive to detail, knew all the right people to assist with preparing the house for sale, was prompt in responding to questions, inquiries and our need for advise on a range of matters. We were overseas for the majority of the time the house was on the market, James kept us well informed and went way beyond the call of duty in sweeping decks and preparing the house each week for viewing. On the purchase of a property James consistently, personally informed us of anything on the market that would likely suit our needs and facilitated sometimes challenging viewing needs as one member of our party lived interstate and couldn't fit into open house time frames. Overall James was a joy to deal with in the sometimes difficult world of real estate. He is frank, honest and has great integrity in the potentially fraught arena of purchasing and selling properties and we would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Professional and Personable

After dealing with many real estate agents as a purchaser, James and Danielle were a breath of fresh air. They dealt with us in an open and transparent manner while being warm and easy to do business with. They were honest, professional and made the stressful situation of buying a house a little bit easier.

Dedication, honesty and communication are second to none

Dedication, honesty and communication are second to none

If you are looking for an honest, hard working and dedicated agent to sell your home, James Baker is the person for you. We spontaneously decided to sell our first home due to the outstanding result our neighbour achieved with James and his assistant Danielle. We knew instantly that not only they were a great team, but they were going to make this stressful time in our lives as easy as possible. Throughout every stage of sale, we were always kept up to date with any new progress and they were always happy to discuss our options honestly. We feel they did the best possible job for us in selling our home. The marketing campaign they created lead to a quick sale at a price we were extremely happy with. We will definitely be using James and Danielle for our future endeavours.

Out thanks to James Baker and the team & Raine & Horne for the job they have done in selling our home recently. James provided a strong knowledge of the market, where and how our property fitted within that and he and his team ensured we enjoyed a positive experience in what is a difficult period. Attention to detail, strong business skills, polite, attentive, great customer service and a desire to perform are just a few of the things that James provided us in the selling partnership. And of course in the end its the result that counts the most and we are very happy with what James has been able to achieve.

James proved to be an excellent choice of agent to sell our property in Avalon Beach. He handled the whole process with complete integrity, professionalism and keen astuteness, and he was able to secure a sale price that met our expectations with a calm and respectful negotiating style. We have no hesitation in giving him our highest recommendations.
