Purple Bricks the real deal!

Purple Bricks the real deal!

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

Easy to do business

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.

So glad we did!

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

So grateful

So grateful

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.

5 Stars for James Holt

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.

Fantastic agent

Fantastic agent

I have to admit I was very nervous when I signed up with purple bricks to sell my apartment that i have lived in for 17 years. James Holt was the agent appointed to sell my property. From day one he was transparent and throughout the whole process re-assured me that i am in good hands. I would like to take this opportunity to thank James for his exceptional service, his expert knowledge and great sale outcome. Finally, I would highly recommend James and purple bricks to all my friends and family.

Switched from another agent, couldn’t be happier

Switched from another agent, couldn’t be happier

we had been on the market with another real estate company for over 4 months with no movement on our house and no real useful advice or feedback, just a constant stream of talking down our property and trying to bring down our price expectations (from the price they had actually suggested themselves!) so we decided to make the switch over to purple bricks. The whole purple bricks team were great, and we couldn’t be happier with the marketing material and web presence. In our first few days our agent James gave better advice and information than we had the entire time with the previous agent. He constantly gave us helpful feedback after each open house and quickly got us a sale. This, combined with the $20k saving on not paying commission means we would definately recommend purple bricks without hesitation.
