This is the second property we have sold with Jane and James and can’t imagine selling with anyone else. They have an infectious passion for selling property and their amazing advice, support and flexibility have been absolutely critical at what is a very stressful time. We have really appreciated the honest and transparent processes and the clear and thorough communication throughout the campaign. We cannot recommend the Garwoods highly enough.

I had the good fortune of meeting James at a number of properties before finally finding the right match. In all cases James had detailed knowledge of the properties and would proactively followed up with any additional information requested on those rare occasions he did not already have the answer. His reliability and knowledge made him a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend working with him.

I engaged James and the Garwood team to sell my house recently, there was an enormous amount of work to be done in a short period of time. I found James an artistic, innovative and talented numbers man with unflagging energy. He used his nous to engage with social media platforms and deliver digital media publicity and advertising to create a large contact base, for the sale of my house. He is a gentleman, highly organised, reliable and trust worthy – he completely broke the cliched real estate agent model for me! James is engaging and great to be around and in combination with Jane, take up the gaps impossible to fill as a vendor, with their combined experience and talents they were a force! James has a great “feel” for the market and in combination with Jane are a honey pot of ideas, their support was extraordinary from design ideas, contacts and understanding complex building scenarios through to perspicacious negotiating skills. James and the Garwood team offered support and communication second to none throughout the whole process, essential to me, in navigating the difficult task of renovating and selling my house. What's more the outcome was terrific!

James is professional, accessible and hard working. Any questions or concerns were immediately answered and clearly explained. James had our unit looking absolutely fantastic with excellent attention to detail and subsequently attracted a large amount of interest through online targeted advertising. Finally, James was available for after sale support making the entire process form start to finish as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend James and Jane Garwood.

As a buyers agent, we deal with many agents and experience a diverse range of negotiation 'tactics', often to the detriment of the vendor. Dealing with James was effortless. This was an off market transaction which is a little trickier to negotiate, however James communicated every step of the way and the transparency he demonstrated meant that both vendor and buyer achieved the best outcome possible.

Having first met James seven years ago when he was acting for the vendor of a property that eventually became our home, we have never forgotten the way James conducted himself - with absolute integrity and professionalism. When it came time for us to sell our property seven years on, it was without a second thought that we reached out to James for his help. James, and Jane Garwood, showed us a tremendous degree of thoughtfulness in how we should approach the sale in an uncertain market, demonstrated their deep understanding and judgement of the market and our property, and stood by us every step along the way from marketing, negotiations to closing the sale. We were so amazed at the result James achieved for us. I remember seeing on the front page of James' proposal to us, the famous quote from Maya Angelou “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”, James has truly lived up to his motto. Thank you for supporting us in achieving some of our most significant life goals, James.

As a family, we approached three different agents and chose Garwoods because we thought they could ensure a personal touch for the sale of our family home of 75 years which was both sensitive and sentimental. James and the team expertly guided our family each step of the way to a successful auction. Garwoods are unique because the Garwoods themselves (James and Jane) did all the showings and communications with potential bidders and us, which also thankfully meant that there were no randoms because the house was still home. We were kept informed across the campaign regarding those interested in the property, potential changes in the campaign strategy and the market itself. We are delighted with James and the team at Garwoods - they knew the market; their communication was clear; they have integrity and are excellent!

James is knowledgeable, professional and willing to go the extra mile when it comes to helping clients maximize the sale price. James listen to concerns and identifies solutions and provides spot on information both during the sale process and in the build up to the property going on the market. James was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a man of integrity. James is committed to achieving the best goal in the right way.

James Garwood was very knowledgeable and had a particular kind of 'savvy' intelligence around where the market was at. I got the sense he was constantly researching and analysing the current trends so that we we're all working with the most accurate information. We got a top price in an uncertain time. James is reliable and trustworthy, and solution oriented, even in extenuating circumstances, he and his colleagues were solid where others wouldn't have gone the distance. Thank you James.

We have recently purchased a property from overseas via James Garwood, during the pandemic. We are very impressed by Garwood's professionalism. He knows his market very well. He understands our needs and concerns. For example, he did a detailed video walk through of the property and has been very detailed in answering questions that we have. He also got back to us promptly on our follow ups. I understand that the closing process is not most straightforward with a number of different parties involved. That said, he has made it a very smooth one for us. I give him my highest recommendation, without reservation. Thanks James!

Right from the start, James gave us great confidence that he would do the best for our property. His knowledge of the area and market, from big picture to small detail, was matched by frank communication, flexibility and a lot of hard work to ensure the property was presented at its best. He gave us constant, forensic feedback on the marketing campaign, and we were delighted with the final outcome. James was a pleasure to deal with, and we would recommend him unreservedly to anyone wanting to sell a property in our area.

James went above and beyond to ensure that the process of buying an apartment while overseas, during the Covid-19 pandemic went as smoothly as possible. He kept me informed every step of the way. His professionalism and respect for clients really impressed me. After dealing with James for the sale I knew immediately that I would be choosing the Garwoods to be my future property managers, and I couldn’t be happier.
