James sold our block of land Off Market. For some time we had been in two minds as to sell or build. James kept us informed of any possible sales and provided a realistic sale price. Every thing was carried out in a business like manner with no pressure being applied to us.
I recently sold my late mother's home with James Campbell from Soames Hornsby. We found him a friendly, calm and confident agent. He kept us up-to-date with the process and progress of the sale. He stayed positive and engaged even when Covid-19 hit and things became more difficult for agents. His enthusiasm and demeanour did not change and we were able to achieve a successful outcome.
This is the second time we have used James to sell one of our properties, and yet again he didn’t disappoint with the sale of our property happening in only 2 weeks! His approach to go through his database with our property for a quick sale instead of going public first, proved he has the knowledge and experience. We were extremely satisfied with the outcome and minimal fuss. We have and will continue to recommend James to anyone looking to sell their property.
I contacted James late in 2019, and he made sure everything was in place and ready to market early in the New Year window of opportunity. He gave his opinion on the best timing to market, and gave a realistic estimate of what I could expect, including current market conditions and risks. The sale eventuated fairly quickly as we had hoped, he was always informative and timely in keeping us informed about progress. We are very happy with James' service, thank you.
James is a very professional Real estate agent and has a good grasp of the market in the upper north shore. He helped us in the purchase of 5 Ethel along with the other Saomes team. Kind regards Roger
Right from the start, I knew that selling my parents house wasn’t going to be easy. There were several factors working against it being a straight forward sale. Despite the difficulties, James worked with me from day 1 and ensured everything went as smoothly as possible. He kept me informed constantly, even when I was overseas during the open home period. James managed to help me achieve a good result for the sale of the house and I am grateful to him and his team for all their hard work.
We interviewed a number of agents when it came to sell our parents home in Hornsby. James had a strategy to undertake a 3 week campaign before formally taking it to market, being confident of the clients on the Soames database who were looking for properties like ours in the area. It was this point of difference, together with James' significant and evident knowledge of other similar properties in the area, that caused us to sign up with James and Soames, and it was very much the right decision. This approach relied on James having the confidence of the strength and depth of the Soames database to source a buyer (of which he was quietly confident), but also meant that we would not have to incur marketing costs of around $4k if James' approach was successful. And successful it was. Having signed up with James on the Monday, the house was sold by the Friday. We were stunned (in a good way), noting that other agents we had seen may still have been designing websites and marketing campaigns in the time that it took James to sell. Along this (very quick as it turned out) journey, James kept us fully informed and it was very clear that he was working with us to achieve the best result. A great result for our parents!
James and his team were always there to help us through the process. They were open and easy to deal with and understanding of our situation and helped us to get the result that best suited us.
James is a great agent, he is kind and understanding. He keeps you informed regularly with how your sale is tracking, and he also gets what’s best for client but also the buyer.
Excellent in knowledge of the local area and as a very professional approach to achieve the best result for is clients. if the sale of a property is what you need then James is your Man.
James knew the market, offered suggestions and lead us through the entire process from start to finish. He was always available to answer the innumerable questions we had and as first time sellers -he put our mind at ease. We would definitely recommend James to our friends and relatives!
