Fabulous Agent - No Nonsense

James had a great deal of knowledge about the property and it's history, the local area and was ready to answer all questions I had. I was kept informed and it was a very professional and no nonsense process. I would highly recommend James.

Perfect Agent

Perfect Agent

I had meetings with two agents to sell my apartment and had decided upon one when some neighbours mentioned how good Garwoods were. So I had a meeting with Jane and James and was so impressed that I wondered whether or not I should go with my previous decision. I had six months before I would be moving into my new apartment so was quite happy with an Auction in a few months time which would bring me into line with my anticipated moving date. Then Jane got back to me with the suggestion that as she had some extremely interested prospects would I like to have an Off Market Campaign where she and James would bring them through. I took this with a grain of salt quite frankly as I thought all the agents would have "really interested people" and I still had six months before my move. However, I went along with it and they brought three parties through and all wanted Contracts. One in particular had fallen in love with the apartment and was prepared to have the long Settlement. In the end my apartment sold for the highest price ever in the complex. This all took place within less than three weeks. Throughout this time Jane and James were so helpful and understanding, totally professional, and interested in me getting my requirements. They put me at my ease and took the stress out of what is quite often a difficult time. I have genuine pleasure in recommending them highly. Ronda McCarthy - 6/570 Miller Street, Cammeray.

Jane and James were terrific agents to deal with. Right from the very beginning they were upfront and honest. They were clear in setting my expectations and communicated constantly with me throughout the process. Always responsive, timely and professional they demonstrated a real pride and passion for their work and made the sale process extremely smooth.

Fabulous agent !

Fabulous agent !

We are a very busy professional couple with a young child, we had bought a house and had to combine moving, working and selling all at the same time. Our apartment needed some serious upgrades which we never had time to do, and the Garwoods arranged and supervised everything, from painting, appliances, electrics, blinds, cleaning and styling. We didn’t need to do anything and everything was expertly managed. It took the pressure from us and allowed us to concentrate on the move to our new home. Jane and James keep in constant contact reporting on the progress of the sale and working tirelessly to achieve a great result for us. We always knew that our needs were foremost in their minds at all times, and that do they would do everything they needed to do, to finalise our sale. It was always great to know that they had our backs and were working tirelessly for us. We highly recommend them as very professional, caring agent!

Fantastic Agent

James has been an outstanding agent to work with in the sale of my property. With excellent knowledge of the market and key drivers for purchasers of my property, from the first meeting it was clear he knew exactly who would be interested in my property. Optimistic and realistic, James worked diligently to ensure sale of my property throughout the entire period pre and during sale period.

The agent's agents

I interviewed 3 real estate agents to sell my flat and experienced Jane and James to be head and shoulders above the other two. I was under pressure as I had purchased another home and had to sell my flat within a certain time-frame. Once I had signed up with them, they suggested the minimum I needed to do to get the place spruced up for inspections. They organised everything for me, including measuring up, buying and installing blinds! Within 6 days, the flat had been seamlessly transformed into a gorgeous showhome. Throughout the process, they were attentive and kept me informed. I almost felt like I was their only vendor. They are totally professional and tell it like it is and I valued that. In the end we had a very successful auction and achieved a result comfortably above the reserve. On perusing their testimonials, I noted that they had been the agent for an agent of one of Neutral Bay’s leading estate agencies. To sign up with Jane and James, you are getting the agent’s agents - the AAA team.

Amazing sales skills in action!!!

Initially when we viewed the property to buy, we were not interested. However, James and Jane were able to help us see the potential and connect us with the right experts that enabled us to make an informed (and excited!) decision to buy. They were incredibly open, passionate, responsive, cared about the details, and genuinely believed it was the right fit for what we were looking for.

A seriously great real estate agent

I can't reccomend James and Jane highly enough. I've made a few real estate transactions and they are a standout. They were both so helpful and lovely to deal with. Nothing I asked was too much and even after exchange they helped me ever step of the way. If your looking to sell, please make sure you give them a call. Your buyer will be so well looked after. With gratitude and many thanks, Immy and Andrew

As a purchaser we strongly endorse Garwoods, what you see is what you get

As a purchaser we were very impressed with the professional manner shown by Garwoods Real Estate at Cammeray Yes a real estate agent is there to represent the vendor, which they did very well on our purchase, however we found their approach open, honest and appreciative of our needs. We wanted to make a pre-auction offer, however Garwoods advised that given the strong interest, if a bid was made they would need to contact all interested parties, thus starting an unofficial silent auction, which they recommended we avoid, and we are so glad we did follow the Garwoods advice. Fortunately for us we were successful at auction, so happiness all around, no doubt we paid a premium, however we wanted the property and considered the premium appropriate and the vendor achieved an above expectation result As a vendor we would strongly consider Garwoods when selling As a purchaser we strongly endorse Garwoods, what you see is what you get, Honesty with no bull shit, the way it should be

Friendly and Approachable

Friendly and Approachable

As someone who had been searching for a place to buy, and had been outbid by downsizers or foreign investors several times, having an agent who still patiently explained the situation, mentioned potential buyers and provide regular updates was extremely helpful. James was that guy who helped us purchased our first home. Unlike other big snobbish real estate agent chains, James and his team gave us a sense of personalised experience, from remembering our names to recognising our interest regardless whether we appear to be capable of purchasing, they were always friendly and approachable. That is a clear diffrentiator!

Great Results thanks to the Garwoods

Great Results thanks to the Garwoods

I first met James and Jane Garwood when they came to my unit to do a property appraisal. They were warm and friendly from that first meeting and regularly kept me up to date with what was happening in the property market, and more importantly the local area, so I could make an informed decision about when would be the best time for me to sell. I felt very confident in their professional expertise and was also impressed with their personal approach. At no time did I feel as if I was just another client; their concern for the best outcome for me was evident throughout the whole process. When I decided it was time to put my property on the market, they were brilliant! Their sense of style and space resulted in the transformation of my unit into a very desirable property. Whilst selling a property is never stress-free, James and Jane ensured that everything went smoothly and provided me with weekly updates about the progress towards the auction. They certainly went above and beyond their roles as real estate agents. They were generous with their time, were always kind, courteous and helpful, and did everything they could to support me before, during and after the auction. And the result was fantastic! I was so impressed by the Garwoods' thorough professionalism and their friendly and personal approach that I am recommending them to everyone I know. If you want to have the best outcome when selling a property, get the Garwoods in - you won't be sorry.

Garwoods, Outstanding Agents

Garwoods, Outstanding Agents

I have just sold my house through Garwoods Estate Agents, and I could not have wished for any better service from both Jane and James Garwood, and their entire team. I would recommend and have recommended them to many people. Jane and James are professional, knowledgeable, supportive, efficient, caring - you feel as if yours is the only house they are selling, even though they are juggling several open houses and auctions at the same time. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Selling a house and buying another at the same time is very stressful, and they held my hand through the whole process. And they worked very hard to achieve a great price for me! And succeeded in achieving it!
