James has a very friendly and engaging manner. He is personable, honest and was always keen to answer all our questions. It was however at the"pointy" end of sales process that I was delighted to have James as our agent. The market did go a little "flat" just before our auction date, but James seemed to draw on his past experience and managed to open up new opportunities for us that saw us exchange just 3 days after auction. He kept us informed the whole way and calmly negotiated a great result. All without adding extra stress to us! Thank you James.

James was always available whenever I called he was prompt with call backs and kept me updated at all times he was honest and did not miss lead me at any time he was a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend him.

James and his team managed to get the property sold, for the price asked, even in the face of many obstacles. A job very well done, with excellent communication and managing expectations! Very much appreciated, made a stressful time very smooth.

We found James refreshingly straight forward and honest. With over a decade of local inner-west knowledge we'd definitely use him again.

James sold our two units and he was extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. We recommended James to our neighbour and he also done a great job at selling her place. After some bad experiences with real estate agents in the past, should we need to sell again in the future, we would only use James. Many thanks.

Very good advise - chose all the right options and timing re sale. Kept very well advised through whole process

I initially contacted James Burke regarding a property coming up for auction on Johnston Street in Annandale. And even though the property would have been considered an entirely uninhabitable, POS by even the least discerning individual; and though it boasted features such as; “load-bearing wallpaper” and “simultaneous and entirely uninterrupted views of both sky and ground” (because it lacked both roof and floor). We were informed by James, in the kindest and most respectful manner possible, that the property was WAY, WAY, WAY out of our price range. And guess what? He was right! Ha! We sat at our kitchen table and talked for a long time about what we wanted and what we needed to accomplish in the near future with our growing family. He made notes; smiled graciously, made a few suggestions here and there; all the while as our pets systematically “courted” him. We subsequently decided to sell our home and sign with Callaghers; not knowing that it would be the very best decision we had made all year. Within two hours of signing our paperwork I was texting James and asking him if he had sold our home yet. (I suppose it is at this point that I should admit that I have the ability to be a bit of a nightmare.) Throughout the four-week campaign I grew increasingly nervous as I witnessed the market changing. I found sleep almost impossible to come by, and panic in absolute abundance. Being generous by nature, I shared my concern and panic attacks with James at regular and fairly consistent intervals. Without blowing smoke up my chimney, both he and David Giezekamp managed to keep me from requiring a straight jacket by providing factual evidence and continually keeping me updated on all things concerning the sale of our home. Without fail they would reassure me that they had us heading in the right direction and that the trajectory would bring a result

James sold a friend’s house about twelve months ago and she had nothing but praise for James and the agency. I related to James from our first meeting, he was realistic with his assessment and suggested a few things to “show-case” the house and make the exterior just as attractive as the inside. I sold just as the market was cooling and James proved to be an outstanding salesman, but an even better negotiator. He got the best result for me on a very trying day. We even had a few laughs on the journey. Both vendor & buyer ended up happy and my beautiful home went to a lovely young family. I first meet the Callagher team four years ago and was impressed by their market knowledge, professional and relaxed attitude to selling and promotion. That it was a single-site family business (around since 1899) was the clincher for me.

James provided a transparent helpful and very understanding service. His knowledge and strategy lead to a fantastic outcome for our family. James made what can be a very stressful and emotional time comfortable and confident. We recommend James and his team highly.

James is very personable and responsive and did an excellent job selling our house.

James' advice worked out well, we were quite uncertain of the market and relied upon him closely to handle all aspects of the sale, as we live overseas. Fortunately he was cautious enough that we were not disappointed when we began to see, from his regular and comprehensive reports, how the market was trending. In fact, in the end, the auction price reached higher than we expected, after all - again, due to James' good advice and choice of auction process and the auctioneer.

I am delighted to recommend James Burke from Callaghers. Throughout the entire sales campaign, James constantly kept me up to date with all activity. He was accessible at any time, regardless of what time of the day I called. In addition, after every viewing James gave me a full & prompt update so I knew how the campaign was going, how much interest there was and the feedback from prospective buyers. Not only that, the ultimate sold price exceeded our dreams ! Thank you again James & colleagues at Callaghers. Jo
