Excellent Realestate Agent

Excellent Realestate Agent

We reached out to James after not getting much traction from couple of other realestate companies. Our property was already in the market for about 6-7 months. James displays excellent local realestate knowledge and was realistic in setting our expectations. He engaged whole Murdoch Lee team and is a real hard worker. One thing about James is, he is always positive and has the attitude to keep moving ahead with new ideas and not get bogged down by hurdles. He kept us informed at all times and suggested various strategies at appropriate times. While market condition certainly dictates selling and buying for a major part, the realestate agent is the key to guide through the conditions. And this is exactly what James did in a tough market. All through our engagement and beyond, James has shown exemplary character, especially considering the demanding marketing conditions, he has always been professional, courteous and very helpful. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James, if you wish to engage a realestate agent to deal with your property. Thank you James.

James called on us once a year for 5 years. Now that’s the kind of perseverance we liked. For the 6 months prior to putting our house on the market he gave us advice on how to prepare and present it - from door handles to kitchen cabinet colours and a few other things in between. We hadn’t even engaged him as our Agent at that stage. We interviewed 5 different Agents and we “clicked” with James the best. Other Agents inflated the value of our home, were sometimes too “gushy” and a couple were far too pushy. James was different. He was quietly confident. He advised us on the market, our campaign, how prospective buyers were responding and kept us fully informed throughout the process. He never once promised more than he thought the market could deliver. The videographer and photographer he recommended were exceptional. The auctioneer was amazing. He and James teamed together and worked really hard to get the best price possible in a very flat and challenging market. The rest of James’s team supported him and us so well during the campaign. We cannot speak highly enough of James and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Call us. We’ll tell you how good he is.

We chose James Laing of Murdoch Lee to sell our home in a cooling Hills market earlier this year (2018). Throughout our sales process James was professional with excellent knowledge of the local market. James' communication was always clear, thorough and timely. He was really hard working ... even working through his day off at the closing stages of our sale. We would highly recommend James to anyone looking for an honest, efficient and reliable agent who will pursue the best price for your home. Together with Jack Ho (and great office support from Lauren Vella) James was the right agent for our sales process.

Thank you for your excellent effort and professionalism towards the sale of our home. We had wonderful experience with Murdoch Lee estate, Castle Hill. Especially thanks James for helping us in selling our home in such short time & achieved a favourable result.

It was wonderful to buy the property with James. Always available and ready to help with queries. If something was not his domain would still guide to right place for the information. Highly recommend him.

Not much more stressful in life than buying a house, but James made the process very relaxed and enjoyable. He was clear, direct, and we felt we could trust him at every stage.

This is the second time that I have worked with James and based on his efforts in the first sale, there was really no need to seek proposals from any other Agencies. One of James' strengths is that he takes time to communicate the progress of each component of the sale process and has the knack of quickly developing a rapport with purhaser's, which assists greatly during the negotiation phase. James is very professional, has a good knowledge of the Hills District residential market and was able to provide sound advice on cost effective marketing options that were available. The property was sold within a few weeks of its first opening and, despite a softening unit market, James was able to achieve a speedy and very good price. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Agent in the Hills area.
