About James

With more than a decade of real estate experience and over $1 billion in residential sales on Sydney’s lower north shore, James Bennett has certainly earned his rank amongst the industry’s elite. As joint Principal of Belle Property Lane Cove, Hunters Hill, Willoughby and Lindfield, He is consistently recognised as one of the best performing sales agents nationally for Belle Property, and while industry accolades are an indication of the esteem in which he is held by clients and colleagues, James is humbled by the recognition but knows it means little unless you can qualify it by providing a level of service and, most importantly, results that clients expect of a high-profile agent. Never one to embrace the industry status quo and happy for others to play real estate superstar, James’ point of difference is exactly that - doing things differently. He acknowledges that part of the agent’s job is to manage people’s emotions, guide them through the process and make them feel at ease. James, however, has always been determined to make the journey as enjoyable as possible, even entertaining, by adding a little humour and personality into the mix. He says that while real estate is a serious business, in most circumstances there’s no reason why there can’t be a little levity along the way.

Professional market expert and great communicator

James is a dynamic agent who was excellent at keeping us informed and comfortable at every stage of the campaign. All of his information and advice was very clear and he is surrounded by a great team at Belle who made selling our house easy and enjoyable. From the very start we believed James would be the best agent to achieve a result for us, particulalry in a tough market. Thank you James and team!

Agent understood urgency of sale for me. Worked...

Agent understood urgency of sale for me. Worked quickly to get property on market. Communication excellent and frequent. Answered my questions quickly. In a depressed property market they achieved best possible result and terms of settlement were advantageous to me. Couldn’t be happier with result.

Excellent result. Quick sale.

I can’t speak highly enough of James and his team. I needed a quick sale in a very depressed Sydney market as I was moving interstate. I needed help with window cleaners and jet pressure cleaning of brickwork, advice re internal layout to maximise the appeal etc. The team provided options for me and worked very quickly to get my property advertised. James negotiated with the potential purchaser several times and managed to get a more acceptable result for me in a very short space of time. From a first Saturday open house, to a signed, acceptable contract for me, the sale was completed at 5pm on the following Tuesday - only a few days later. Cannot thank James and the team enough.

From the very beginning of my sales journey...

From the very beginning of my sales journey, James and his team filled me with confidence. I knew I would be well supported and guided through the process to prepare my property and achieve a successful sale in this challenging sales market. Danielle advised and then facilitated the styling and freshen-up of the property so that it looked beautiful, highlighting all of its best features. Danielle organised all the required work to be completed, leaving me stress free. James and the team at Belle Property North Shore provided such a positive experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again when selling my property.
