James was the calming presence we needed through our selling process. Having worked with 2 previous agents without a sale, he was committed, compassionate and dedicated to the sale of our house. On the day of sale he worked tirelessly to get the best price for us, even in this current difficult market. Thank you James
James was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process. He was always very responsive, easy to communicate with, and clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about the local market. We really appreciated how quickly he responded whenever we had questions or needed an update. He was professional, approachable, and kept us well informed along the way, which made the whole experience much less stressful. We’re very grateful for all his help and would happily recommend James to anyone.
James was very informed on the local market and helped me with deciding on the correct price to advertise. He kept in touch frequently and answered all my questions quickly. He made the process very easy for me to handle the sale and his advice was always good resulting in a price way above my expectations.
James was incredibly caring, and helpful throughout the process of buying our first house. He was responsive & had great communication skills.
James is incredibly talented and an amazing negotiator with a firm grasp on the industry. Our property had been on the market for six months with no real success. Then we handed the reins to Gavan Property and through the right bottom-up pricing strategy, James and the team at Gavan were able to build viewership and momentum on the property, resulting in a sale within three weeks after it was once again on the market. And this is all during a time when housing prices are plummeting. Strongly recommend to all!
This was my second time working with James, and I sincerely thank you for helping me sell this house. Your professionalism has always been admirable. Your meticulousness, patience, and thoughtfulness are truly commendable; it was an honor to work with such an outstanding person. You are a genuine top-tier sales expert, and I have the utmost respect for your professionalism. You deserve five stars!
This is the third time we have used James’ services to sell residential property in the Sutherland Shire As usual, he got us a great price. Service was exceptional and the marketing program was aligned to the value of the property that we sold. We like James‘s directness, results driven orientation and realistic expectations of the current market. We would have no hesitation in recommending James to anyone with a property to sell regardless of its size or value
James was a delight to work with. He was understanding of my needs and circumstances and worked with me on how best to present them to the market, providing feedback and insight. He was always punctual, professional and courteous with buyers and made a great impression with neighbours alike. He is head and shoulders ahead of other agents I worked with in the past in terms of connecting with people and make them feel heard. Doing what he does is not only a job for James, it's a vocation. I am extremly happy with his services and look forward to dealing with him in the future.
I recently sold our family home with James; he was professional and respectful during this daunting and emotional time. James guided me through the process with his knowledge and years of experience. James went above and beyond for which I am truly grateful.
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a home through James Holt at Gavan Property, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our very first interaction, James was professional, genuine, and incredibly easy to deal with. He struck the perfect balance between being knowledgeable and approachable, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. James was consistently honest, reliable, and punctual with everything I asked of him. His communication throughout the entire process was outstanding—I always felt informed and up to date with how things were progressing, which made a huge difference in reducing the usual stress that can come with buying a property. What really stood out to me was how seamless James made the whole experience. He handled everything with such efficiency and care, making what can often be an overwhelming and stressful process feel smooth and manageable. His down-to-earth nature combined with his high level of professionalism gave me great confidence every step of the way. A huge thank you to James for going above and beyond and for helping make this such a positive and straightforward experience. I’d have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking to buy or sell—he’s a true asset to the industry.
James just ran a very successful marketing campaign which resulted in us selling our mother’s 1962 redbrick home at auction for an amount above reserve. We were most impressed with the number of inspections and the hard work James put in in following up every single prospect and following through with feedback to us after every inspection with the stats and views for our property James made the whole process seamless which was a huge relief for our elderly mother moving into aged care
