James recognised the changing market and kept us updated regularly on buyer expectations. Meg was fantastic support and always available to answer questions and organise tradies.

I would highly recommend James to any prospective vendor. His professionalism, knowledge of the market, integrity and transparency throughout the negotiation process were second to none. James went the extra mile in all areas from marketing to property styling/preparation and did a fantastic job of managing our tenants throughout the opens. The extra effort he puts in to is evident in the results he achieves for his clients. I'd certainly use James again in the future.

People often say that selling a home is a stressful experience. However, recently auctioning mine wasn’t, largely due to the professional skills displayed by a highly experienced and ethical estate agent, James Haywood. I did not attend any of the Saturday or Wednesday 'open house inspections'. However, I know that James prepared meticulously for each of them. James provided me a “Weekly Update” written report in 4 or 5 pages in an A4 folder, and explained aspects of interested prospective buyers particular interest/s. Setting the correct ‘guide price range’ proved vital. If it is set too low, offers will come early, but not for what a seller is hopeful for. If the ‘guide price range’ is set too high, potential buyers will look elsewhere. James provided details of three nearby properties within a couple of kms of my home for me to inspect to better understand where the market was priced at. That helped me, because like a lot of sellers, we tend to think that our home is worth more than the ‘guide price range”. I was very pleased with the market knowledge and professionalism that James Haywood displayed in the recent auction sale of my home at Freshwater.

James was a patient and understanding agent. James was sensitive to my situation and the parties involved. He explained in plain English the process, the pros and cons of each step. James and Meg were contactable at all times and communication was excellent. I also believe that James understanding of the current market, the interested parties and the ultimate buyer secured the best price possible. James went out of his way, after hours to secure the sale. I would recommend James time and time again and wouldn't hesitate to use him in the again in the future.

James and Megan were always friendly, helpful and welcoming during my numerous pre auction inspection visits to the property. James was especially helpful in helping us to overcome some of our own unforeseen issues in the run up to settlement and worked tirelessly to ensure both we and the vendor were happy. We're now loving our new home! X

I chose James over other agents in the area as he gave me a realistic ball park figure for my property. There was no verbal unrealistic figure given upon his first inspection of the property. During the campaign he kept me up to date with feedback and sales strategy as the campaign continued.

Dealing with the sale of an Estate property after the passing of our elderly aunt, there were a number of questions that potential buyers had that I and the family just were not able to answer. James, Kylie, Meg and the team at Cunningham's went out of their way by liaising with other owners in the area, 3rd-parties and council departments to help us respond to such queries. Communication was excellent throughout the process, from initiating contact with services to assist us in preparing the property for sale, to managing the multiple co-executors for the property, to letting me know when they were organising a private viewing, and of course after each and every open house - I feel like they have become family! Right through the sales process from start to auction to the current settlement period, I know I can pick up the phone and ask them anything and they will do likewise. Such a comfortable and consistent approach. Thank you James, Kylie and Meg for your care, guidance and support through what has been an emotional time. I would certainly recommend Cunningham's as I hold the team there in the highest regards. Sue

James and his team did an excellent job on our purchase, we wanted to move fast and he was honest and professional throughout the process and made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way.

We found James to be honest from the beginning (a rare quality in this game). Throughout the process James was upfront and honest about all areas of our pending sale. He knew the market very well, gave great instruction/ direction to us, which ultimately led to our sale. I would recommend James to all buyers/ sellers (in fact I already have). His use of leveraging his previous sales to inform our sale was inspiring. His credibility / name in the market is outstanding and I can see why. His cools head under pressure, relaxed both my Wife and I, which made the process even easier to go through. Again I would recommend James highly.

This is the second time I have sold a property with James Haywood and I couldn't recommend him higher. He is honest, informative, a great negotiator and made the process stress-free. I was kept informed and always felt I could call James with any questions. If you want an agent that knows the market, is hard-working and authentic then you cannot go past James. Just brilliant.

We were thrilled with the service provided by James from the moment we first met. James provided us with confidence in his ability to sell our home. For example he provided options, outlined realistic expectations, listened to our concerns before outlining a strategy that suited us. Selling our home with a property development next door and an ongoing fence dispute with the developer was not only a challenge but also stressful at times. James managed to steer us through the process including finding a solution for a temporary fence without jeopardizing the sale of our home. James kept us informed throughout the campaign and there were no surprises. The whole experience was very positive and we were very happy with the auction result. We highly recommend James as an agent. Regards Roger and Helen Wilson

James had an excellent understanding of the market and where to pitch the price. The team at Cunninghams were very efficient and kept us in touch with any developments. It was a great pleasure for my wife and I to sell our house through James and the Cunninghams team.
