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.

Excellent service all round!

Excellent service all round!

James, Tim, Danielle and the rest of the Belle Property team were superb in selling this property for us. Incredibly professional at all times, great at communicating and they did a superb job. The team were excellent at preparing the property and then managing the open houses and viewings. At all times we were kept updated and their marketing of the property was first class! We cannot recommend the team highly enough!

Great communication, genuine price guidance, strong negotiation.

James was a pleasure to do business with. He and Tom were straightforward and genuine in their early price guidance and advice in take to market strategy, kept us fully informed through the sale process with regular updates via phone and WhatsApp, and negotiated strongly and professionally for us when the time came. We sold ahead of auction. The entire Belle property team were excellent and we would highly recommend them to other vendors.

The entire team at Belle Property were incredibly proactive and professional. A particular thanks to James, Tim and Danielle who did a superb job throughout the whole process. Even during a relatively challenging period in the property market, the team created a lot of interest and did a wonderful job of selling the property before auction at a price that we were very happy with. We would happily recommend the Belle Property team, they are first class!

Highly Reccomended

I recently sold my property with Steven, and I can't recommend him highly enough. I've had previous selling experiences a few times, but this was by far the best. Steven made the entire process crystal clear and straightforward. His marketing strategy was spot-on, and what really impressed me was how flexible and adaptable he was throughout. He responded quickly to market shifts and buyer feedback, adjusting tactics on the fly to get the best possible result. Although he never asked me to post this review, I couldn't wait to share my experience—I genuinely want everyone to know how exceptional he is. If you're considering selling on North Shore, Steven is the agent you want on your side. Professional, communicative, and genuinely committed to his clients. Thank you, Steven, for a fantastic experience!

Outstanding communicator, diligent and hard working. Genuinely cares about the sale outcome

James, Steve and the team were exceptional communicators, being open and honest about expectations early and running us through the process step by step so we knew what to expect. They organised the photoshoot of the apartment and even helped with styling given we did not want to pay for stylists / didn't have time with the campaign turnaround. We had a lot of disruptions along our process due to issues with solicitor, potential buyers changing their minds, and a softer residential market given the AU Budget / rate hikes... but Steve and the team did not miss a beat in communicating relevant changes to us and coming up with a plan to move forward. We had a Whatsapp group chat which we used regularly, and they always picked up the phone when I called, or called me with updates as they came through in real time. This was even the case when I travelled to the UK for work during the campaign for two weeks, with Steve and James both keeping me in the loop with all developments. They were able to come up with solutions on the go for complex problems regarding solicitor availability and one buyer pulling out of their offer unexpectedly, which gave me and my partner a lot of comfort through the process. The team at Belle are very good at thinking on their feet and having realistic expectations, and backing themselves to get an outcome which we did. In terms of sale price, it was in line with my expectations given the market has softened, but they were able to get a good price for the backdrop. They were also very generous when we sold the place buying us a bottle of champagne and celebrating the sale. Really appreciate the hard work and glad we went with Belle Property. Could not be happier with they way the team handled the process and will definitely be using them going forward. Would highly recommend using Steve, James & the team if you want to get a good outcome, be kept fully in the loop and enjoy the process along the way. Well done team!
