James has been an agent in the area for years. He is a pleasure to deal with and always professional! He adds a personal touch to his work and gets things done!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with James during our home-buying journey in Sydney, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From start to finish, he was incredibly easy to work with—always kind, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping us find the right home. As first home buyers in Sydney, his efficiency made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was always one step ahead, promptly answering our questions, arranging inspections, and handling the paperwork with care and precision. What could have been an overwhelming experience turned into an exciting and enjoyable one thanks to his calm and professional approach. Thank you!
James and his team did an excellent job selling our apartment in Cammeray. Seamless and well communicated campaign. Quick sale with a very outcome. Worked hard to line up all contracting mechanics for exchange. Would recommend James and his team.
We were very happy with the care and attention - as well as the results! - from Jane and James Garwood. Very apprehensive at first as this property had been in the family for over 20 years but the care for all the details connected to the sale were dealt with thoroughly.
James was truly there for vendor and buyer, connecting people to find true value. His genuineness and approachability make him a stand out agent.
I have just sold my third piece of real estate through Garwoods - the mother and son team of Jane & James. Prior to my experience with Garwoods, I found the selling of real estate to be tortuous. I worked out that most of the pain came from a lack of trust of the real estate agents motivations. After you signed with them with a clear idea of what the sales price would be, the rest of the time was spent trying to get you to reduce your price expectations. A $100,000 reduction in sales price did not have such a large impact on their commissions. I then met the Garwoods and everything changed. After my initial baked in skepticism when we first met, I quickly realised that here were people I could trust completely. James knows every recent sale in a wide radius from the property being sold. He know the reasons why some prices were higher or lower than the average. He has an incredible memory. They also understand what needs to be done to help maximise the price received on the property. What repairs/improvements should be done, what styling is needed. Where I used to check every line of a quote from a stylist, I now agree as soon as it is presented to me and James is happy with it. I respected that they always wanted to ensure that the buyer was fully informed. This really helped me develop a deep sense of trust with the way they operate. I have always felt that we are totally aligned. In 2 of the 3 sales James has been involved with me, we received a record result for the building and in one case the suburb as well. In the 3rd case the result was above expectations. I leave James the keys and I work with the Garwoods as if we were family. Now thats what you want when looking for an agent. After James sold one of my properties, he came with me to help support me at auction to purchase my new home. What more can I say!
Incredible experience working with James. From the initial inspection and phone call, he was attentive and professional throughout the entire process. He successfully facilitated a deal for both parties to achieve a result that works for everyone. James always responded quickly to my enquires, and ensures that preparation is conducted to the highest level. I highly recommend James @ Garwoods Estate Agents.
Jane and James Garwood showcased exemplary professionalism and service in the sale of this property. They are the hardest working team I have come across in many real estate interactions and went the extra mile in preparation, presentation and running the open homes throughout our campaign. Their deep knowledge and understanding of the market coupled with their efficiency and negotiating skills ensured a smooth sale. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the moment we walked into the beautiful apartment in Milsons Point we knew we were in capable hands. James was warm and welcoming and engaging. We made a pre-auction offer which after negotiation was accepted. We exchanged contracts three days later. We can highly recommend James Garwood as a thoroughly professional and experienced Agent who is a pleasure to deal with.
I am so pleased that I engaged Garwood's for the sale of this apartment, as executor of an estate. They managed the entire process, from liaising with the tenant, through refreshing the apartment with their great value tradesmen, to styling and preparation. All the more invaluable as I was not in the same city. Finally, they sold the property in just three days utilising their extensive database and got an outstanding result. Would highly recommend this very personable team.
I was introduced to James through a friend when I first set out on my property search. James took time to fully understand my brief and was knowledgeable and honest about the area's I was looking at what I could expect to purchase within my budget. When the right property came up, he called me immediately to take me through the property. As a result I was able to secure the perfect property quickly and James managed everything efficiently and professionally. I never imagined viewing and purchasing my new home could be done within 6 hours! I highly recommend James and Garwood Estate Agents to anyone looking for outstanding service and genuine interest in their clients requirements. Thank you again James from a very happy client!
