There are many high profile agents in my area so a lot of people where questioning my decision to use Purplebricks. Well for us it had little to do with saving commission and mostly about feeling comfortable with the agent. After my experience I can say Purplebricks are going to be a big part of real estate in the future as more and more people use them and with agents of the caliber of James Holt they are going to be unbeatable. James came to me with excellent credentials and an even better attitude. We immediately had the sense James really loved his job and his clients. This was the first time ever I was going to sell a home but just another one of thousands of sales for James but he treated it like it was his first sale and his own home. He had lots of great ideas but listened intently to me and my ideas first. He was humble in his manner and extremely approachable. He was far from the typical agent my friends had warned me about and despite the media reports of a tough market James was positive and showed us a plan that filled us with confidence. The marketing and advertising was affordable and extensive. The photos where a true reflection of my property and that was important to us. We didn’t want our property to be presented as something it wasn’t. It was a fixer upper and that was the market we wanted to target. As a result we had lots of enquiry and over 49 groups through in just 28 days. The Purplebricks platform was easy to use and allowed us to keep up to date with progress 24/7. James also gave us a detailed report weekly and met with us to discuss our options and market feedback. Given it was the first time selling I had a couple of moments when I was ready to hit the panic button but one phone call to James and all my fears disappeared. On the day of the auction James and his Auctioneer Brian Cannon where the consummate professionals. They where cool calm and collected. They assured me that no matter what happened I would have the last say
