My 80 year old mum was nervous about selling her home - especially at auction which she’d never done before. But James explained the process so well and was so reliable and competent and kind throughout the campaign. We loved having him as Auctioneer also and we’re so thrilled with the outcome. The whole experience was a pleasure and we’d recommend James to anyone wanting to sell their home.
James was a pleasure to deal with. Kept me informed every step of the way. Has personal knowledge of the area and it surrounds which helped immensely. He went above and beyond and was always happy and on time. Would definitely recommend James.
James originally showed me through a property when I was researching both buying and selling. I was still deciding which agent I would use for my sale. In the end I chose James because I found him to be genuine and honest, which is really important to me when dealing with people in real estate. During the sale process James and his team were so efficient, getting my house on the market quickly with a really effective marketing package. He could not have been more hard working, easy to contact and able to work around my busy schedule. As he lives in my local community he was incredibly knowledgeable about local issues. Even after my home was sold he offered to help me negotiate my own new home purchase and gave me invaluable advice. He went above and beyond. He is also delightful, friendly and always professional.
We bought a new house through James and then went on to sell our previous house with James. We would describe James as very hard working, genuine and he actually appears to enjoy what he does.
Professional , Great negotiator! He will get you the best price possible !
Great negotiator ! He knows the Edithvale property market inside out !
Great agent . Friendly , quick response time . Fair negotiator.
I listed with James due to a referral from a friend of mine who had dealt with him from a purchasing side. I found James to be a good communicator and an excellent negotiator. He secured me a result prior to auction well beyond my expectations. His property video and online marketing really helped to maximize the price and he did countless inspections at all sorts of hours. He’s now helping with the buying side for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him or use him again.
As a buyer on auction day, I thoroughly enjoyed negotiating with James for the purchase of our property. It was a respectful process between buyer and agent who found middle ground between both parties. Not often you get a win-win scenario for both the vendor and buyer which is a credit to him as an auctioneer. I would highly recommend using James as an agent if selling even though i was a buyer.
I am more than happy to recommend James French of Buxton Chelsea. He is very easy to deal with, gets the communication level just right and is happy to explain everything without the 'over the top' sales jargon that some agents use. He is very knowledgeable of the market and very professional in the way he works. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him if you are thinking of buying or selling.
Amazing ability to inspire buyers to pay the true worth of a property. (Buyers will always try to pay less of course). We benefitted greatly from James' polite mild mannered motivation with the buyer, and we got a better price in the end.
We found James to be professional and courteous. He has sound knowledge of the real estate market and trends. We are from country Victoria and James was willing to be flexible and cater to our schedule. We would highly recommend James for any future real estate transactions.
