Our process was a long and complicated one as we were tossing up between buying another house or land - eventually we went for the land option which took 2 1/2 to settle and James (and Alexandra) were constantly touching base with us throughout the whole process - many other agents had come and gone by that stage. James was always asking if he could help in any way regardless of what it was we needed and that went a long way in our eyes and once the house was on the market he explained the process, made recommendations (both positive and in the improvements to get the extra dollar) and backed himself with a sliding commission scale. A thorough professional who knows his market, knows his strengths and above all a gentleman. Would have no issues at all in recommending him to anyone.

When we decided to sell our property, we spoke to number of real estate agents within the area who promised us the earth and the moon (had we listed the property through them) however, we found that most were lacking or missing an element of honesty and were driven more by numbers than a genuine interest in what we as sellers hoped to achieve. On speaking with James he immediately struck us as being honest, knowledgable and patient in his approach. He listened carefully to what we wanted and used his professional expertise and wealth of knowledge in the real estate market to guide and work with us every step of the way as selling a property can be a stressful experience. We achieved above our desired sale price shortly after listing our house and were extremely happy with the outcome. I would certainly recommend James to anyone we know as he was fantastic and an absolute pleasure to work with.

James is a very kind and honest gentleman. Unlike other agents I met, he never bragging a lot, and always gave me very apropos suggestions. I still remember first time I wanted to sell my house he advised me it was not a good time to sell for the best price. While other agents always told to me it was the best time to sell whenever I asked. Also, his team is very professional on the way marketing my property, I am asking them to put a price I want to sell on the advertising, but they did a different, more professional way and sold it much more than my expectation. In addition, as a local agent, surprisingly, they did open house for potential customers during night time. My house was only officially opened once and get sold. But his team actually did 3 times open house in the night time for the potential buyers.

James & his team helped make the sale of our home a very smooth process. A quick sale with a pleasing result. Excellent communication. Would highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of purchasing our home through James 7 years ago, and were extremely impressed with his professional approach and understanding of our needs.When it came time to sell we did not hesitate to contact James to manage the sale of our property. Throughout the entire process his attention to detail, keeping us informed of the progress and doing everything he said he would do confirmed to both Lorelle and I that we had made the right decision. James got us the price for the property he said he would from the outset. His is a credit to his business and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thankyou James! Kind Regards Tim & Lorelle Mccarthy

We wanted to sell our home. We needed an agent - a good agent. Who can we get? A friend of ours recommended James Holvander at Meridien. James had sold our friend's place several years back. So we gave James a call and he came out to see us. Very impressive, knew his stuff, and was a very personable bloke. Half an hour later we signed his Agency Agreement. From that moment on everything worked like clockwork. We got excellent advice on preparing our property for sale, a fantastic marketing plan, and ongoing communication and feedback. James was always available when we needed to talk to him. We went to market on 4th March , signed the contract on 6th March and are now awaiting settlement. James negotiated a far better price than we expected. It was a job well done. James and his marketing team, led by Alexandra, have our sincere gratitude and appreciation, and we are delighted to give Meridien our unreserved recommendation. Dieter and Marlies Remund

After consultation with many of the leading estate agents in our area, we chose James Holvander from First Meridien Realty to market and sell our home. James stood above the rest with his knowledge of the area, professionalism, diligence and courtesy. During the sale period James organised open homes & private inspections that were always arranged around convenience for us. At all inspections James was present which meant he was aware of all interested parties and could follow them up directly. We were kept up to date with informative feedback provided by James directly. James was consistently available to us even though our sale transitioned through the Christmas New Year period. The sale was handled with complete competency by James which aloud us to remain calm and stress free during the 3 week period it took James to secure a sale at a price we were very pleased with. The contact we had with the James and the extended Meridien team was always courteous, helpful and nothing was ever to much trouble. My wife and I would certainly recommend James Holvander to anyone considering selling their home.

I found James to be an honest and trutwworthy person. We bought and sold through James and would have no hesitation in recomending James to anybody whom is thinking of selling their property.

We highly recommend James, Alexandra and their team. They were polite, helpful, professional and friendly. They were efficient and reliable. Their knowledge of the North West was outstanding. Their service and communication skills made selling our home an extremely pleasant process. They sold our home in 9 days we could not be happier. Thank you James and First Meridien.

I met James and Alexandra through many open homes, you both stood out from the agency crowds with your warmth and professionalism. Several recommendations also confirmed us to choose Meridien team when we were putting our house on the market. Thank you for working your best through the selling process and making it easier for us.

To James, We thank you so much for selling our house.The process was seamless with great results.James would not hesitate to help us at all times, and advise us in different situations. Thanks James. Bruce and Patricia Paterson.
