It is with great honour that we recommend Purple Brick and "our" wonderfully, talented, professional and thoughtful James Holt. We heard a little about this new company. We were looking to sell. I investigated options through several agents. The local agents were professional in there presentation. One drove up in a massive new Mercedes. These agents came with a price tag of OVER $20,000. I called James, he told his story of being in the industry for over 30yrs. He joined Purple Bricks as a smart move for him. He presented a game plan, set out a timeline and showed us past sales. I asked him options and why a flat fee? I quizzed other agents same questions and they had no better come back for a price tag in excess of $11,000 more for same service. We went ahead with James (Purple Bricks). Advertising was our choice. He guided us to our best cost effective options. Open days came and went. We had an auction. Passed in but sold within the week for $32,000 more than auction. James is a great communicator and delivered. He is also humble and thoughtful. We were wary of real estate agents. I trusted his advise to hold out for more dollars and he delivered. I believe "the percentage cost" is a rip off. Clever, honest and smart people like James and his team are forging ahead to open this industry up to a new honest standard. This was an emotional time and we felt supported, listened to, respected and at the end of the day saved over $10,000 and a great price considering the market. I want to change my star rating to 6 STARS. Everyone should do research on all fronts with selling there home. Thankyou James and Harmony. we are pleased and honoured to recommend you and Purple Bricks Anthony Jackson and Rebecca Bridge

James has done an outstanding job in a tough market, never gave up we are happy with our outcome,very professional, we would easily recommend James as your agent in the Sutherland shire.

James and Purplebricks were fantastic to deal with. James kept us informed from day one, making sure that we knew exactly the interest in our house and the comments being made at "Open House". The Purplebrick App is excellent...you have the information at your fingertips. Auction Day ran smoothly with James keeping us informed of all punters bidding.....all in all we would recommend James Holt and Purplebricks to any of our family and friends.

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

Made it easy to do business James was patient and helpful with all our questions. He genuinely helped us navigate the process. He was responsive and easy to access for communication. I couldn’t have asked for more from James. Truly appreciative of his assistance and approach.

I found James to be very helpful throughout the selling process. Communication was excellent which was a big thing for me. Thanks James for all your help!!! I would have no problem recommending Purple Bricks.

We’re really glad we chose to sell with Purple Bricks... our agent James Holt is a wealth of knowledge, he’s a joy to work with, also going above and beyond his call of duty to ensure everything stays on track and nothing is delayed unnecessarily... my husband and I would highly recommend Purplebricks to anyone entering the realestate market, they’ve made our experience a pleasurable one and we ourselves wouldn’t hesitate to use them again... Thank you Purplebricks and especially James Justine & Bill

Purplebricks saved me $12,000 in commissions and James Holt saved me from massive double mortgage payments. As the market quickly went backwards and every media outlet was telling buyers to hold off because prices were going to be dropping further James remained determined and relentlessly pursued every buyer and every opportunity to get my property sold. His communication skills and perseverance are exemplary and I am forever grateful for his hard work and tenacity. Would highly recommend James and Purplebricks.

James Holt was wonderful through the whole selling process. Could not recommend the crew at Purple Bricks more. Thanks for assisting mum in selling her house, highly recommend you talk to James if you are considering selling

We were extremely happy with James Holt who took over managing our property two weeks into our sales campaign. He took control of the sale from the onset with his experience and local knowledge playing a pivotal role in the successful sale of our property at Menai. He had a genuine interest in securing the best possible result for us, even going to the extent of having an open house on a Sunday. He is a great communicator who kept us well informed on what was happeneing with our property and the market in general. James was professional at all times and his skills of negotiation were exceptional. It is for all these reasons that both myself and my husband would have no hesitation in recommending James Holt to prospective vendors in the future.

James was always available for questions at all hours and we loved his no BS style. Thanks James
