James was a very charming personable agent his knowledge and skill base was exceptional he was open and transparent he kept me informed each week how my campaign was going l was very pleased with my outcome

My recent experience with James Davis of Upside Real Estate was exceptional. James is very well informed, he was very responsive, provided clear communication and was always highly professional. He possesses rare qualities which makes him outstanding and those are his honesty and discretion. I would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone considering selling their home.

James had worked in our area for many years. He knows the local market. He is willing to guide and listen to your needs. He did not over quote a price to get the listing to only 'manage' your expectations when you don't get the right price. James sold our home during the worst part of lock down where only private inspections were allowed. He had the energy to arrange over 50 appointments and was very flexible with his time during and after hours. We left our property for him to manage whilst we were interstate. He is also an auctioneer and auctioned our property achieving a price well over our reserve. Upside was recommended to us by friends after the sale of their property. We were hesitant to sign with Upside initially as we couldn't work out why we would be able to sell our home and save over $20,000 in agents fees. Marketing is cheap compared to other providers. We were still listed on all of the important sites. We had a video made. We didn't like part of it. It was altered, no questions asked. What were we missing??? Nothing. Upside have a fully automated product that helps with signing of contracts, tracking buyers and offers etc. It is an end to end service that is easy to use particularly if you are interstate! I have recommended Upside to my family and would not hesitate recommending James to anyone. Thanks so much for all of your hard work during lockdown. We feel very fortunate to have had you on our team. James is a lovely genuine bloke, Upside is

Great experience selling with Upside their unique platform allowed for full transparency through out the campaign, the service model incredibly well priced and incredibly efficient.

We had been looking for a house for around two years, James was able to advise us independently on potential purchases and as far as providing property analysis and price estimates. He knew our area well and was prepared to discuss market trends and price range for future re-sale. When it came to selling, as vendors we took James' advice on price and presentation and found his recommendations to be solid. Our sale was above reserve so we were pleased with the performace as auctioneer as well.

Jame's market knowledge & communication skills are outstanding. I felt totally at ease in our communication.I believe James to be scrupulously honest& conscientious in his dealings with people & certainly was at all times in my experience. He handled the transaction so smoothly & professionally. I would,& will recommend James to anybody who is considering selling a property.

We engaged James and Upside Real Estate to sell our home in Ivanhoe in mid-2020. During the course of the sale process, Melbourne moved through a number of Covid-19 related restrictions and James responded to the changes in circumstances with good humour, diligence and flexibility. We were pleased with the sales price and settlement terms we achieved using James and Upside. We felt we got the best of both worlds with James and Upside: with James, you get a highly professional agent with 18 years of experience of sales in Ivanhoe and surrounding areas, and with Upside you get all the benefits of a large agency without the large price. We have no hesitation in recommending James as an agent to sell your property, and would be happy to discuss our experience working with him.

James is friendly and professional, who, under difficult circumstances, given the present Covid 19 situation, plus having an added obstacle, produced a sale that met/exceeded our expectations. Were were kept up to date with information during the whole process. Would certainly recommend James to anyone considering buying or selling a property.

I would not hesitate to recommend James as an agent. With years of experience behind him he has an excellent knowledge of the market, and provides a very professional but caring & trustworthy service at the same time. Well done James, and thank you for your assistance & for keeping the sale of our property stress free.

I have always found James most honest, reliable and very importantly genuine. He has always provided me with great service, with a 100% professional manner & with great communication skills. I would highly recommend James to anyone in the property market.

I cannot recommend James highly enough. I have entrusted him on several occasions with buying and selling properties and each time I have been very impressed with his knowledge, negotiating skills and diplomacy. Once again James has delivered, and the whole experience has been excellent. The fixed-fee model has also been effective, particularly when compared to disappointing auction outcomes.

James knows the Ivanhoe market better than anyone, he lives within the region and knows the people and areas. His advice and experience with our property was spot on and without him and his hard work - we never would have sold our house in this stressful time. He went above and beyond to get our property up to scratch when we couldn't leave NZ to come and help assist. I recommend him 100% and am so glad we decided to sell with him, what a legend.
