My wife and I were in what seemed to be tricky...

My wife and I were in what seemed to be tricky situation in selling our property in Glebe. We had left Sydney and were living on the far north coast of NSW. The property had been tenanted for a number of years and it was clear that some repairs, painting and other work would be required to get the property ready to market. We met James Cahill of Belle Glebe at the property and James assured us that being remote would not be a problem, and that it was not uncommon. James described himself as a ‘one stop shop’ and that’s exactly how things turned out. Through his network of contractors, James arranged for the repairs, painting, styling and other work in getting the property ready for market. We were amazed at how smoothly it all went. Despite October 2026 being in a challenging marketing environment, James achieved a price that was within the nominated pricing band. We found James to be a highly motivated and capable person. We also found him to be ethical and completely open during the whole process. Using James was a great experience and we highly recommend James as a marketing agent. William and Lee

10/10 — an absolute standout in real estate

I honestly couldn’t recommend James more highly. He first helped me purchase my flat 10 years ago, and over that time he has consistently gone above and beyond. He has always remembered my name, my circumstances and the details that matter, making every interaction feel genuinely personal rather than transactional. He later took on the management of my rental property and has now successfully sold it for me at a fantastic price. Throughout the entire journey, he has been professional, reliable, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for me. It’s rare to find someone who provides this level of service and maintains such a genuine relationship with their clients over a decade. I’ve had an exceptional experience from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying, selling or leasing a property.

James & his team went out of their way to make the purchase as easy as possible, from allowing me to inspect only eighteen hrs after the property was put on sale, to handling my offer anf their vendor adroitly enabling a quick closure. It was a pleasure.

Both the Agent and the Team were professional and supportive at all times. In particular, their 'refreshment' of the property ensured that it was presented at its best, and I am sure that this contributed directly to the record sale for the building. Finally, I was impressed by the straightforward and effective way James solved my significant concern about part of the Agency procedures.

Our Sales Agent at Belle Property Glebe, is James Cahill. The experience we've had with James has restored our faith in Real Estate Agents. My wife and I are now located in Adelaide and we were ready to sell our home in Glebe and needed someone that would take on the tasks to prepare the property for sale. James was brilliant, he arranged all his trades to undertake all the necessary work and within 3 weeks it was ready to be staged. James arranged the staging and the photo's, video's and social media campaigns. With the down turn in the property market in Sydney, we agreed with James' suggestion that we should simply set a price we were comfortable with and put the property up on a For Sale basis. Within one week James had the property sold. The entire experience went so smooth, we wholeheartedly recommend James and the team at Belle to anyone needing a personalised experience that produces results.
