James is professional, accessible and hard working.

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.

A pleasure to deal with!

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.

A trusted advisor for life

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.

"Excellence is never an accident" (Aristotle)

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!

Sharp and on the ball. And sincere.

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.

Exceptionally smooth purchase experience with Garwood

Exceptionally smooth purchase experience with Garwood

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!

Exceptional selling experience

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.

Compassionate and caring with amazing results!

I first met James when he was working for an agency and he sold me my unit. I was so pleased with his professionalism and fantastic communication skills that when it came to the difficult decision to sell the unit, I immediately contacted James at Garwoid Estate Agents. James went above and beyond to sell the unit and understood that every dollar counted in the sale and he sold the unit for an amazing price during challenging circumstances (COVID). I highly recommend James and Garwood Estate Agents for their high attention to detail, clear and concise communication, empathy and understanding, and ability to achieve record breaking results. Thank you guys.

James and the team at Garwood set reasonable expectations and work hard to deliver the results. I went through a smooth off-market process to offload an apartment at the price in the time frame i wanted. Great local realtor.
