Credit where its due: A great property but the great result was the result of Agent skill, not luck
We were introduced to James Ledgerwood by a friend who is now claiming a profit share, not unreasonably! James sold Unit 8, one of our two adjoining investment apartments in Bondi Beach, at auction on 11 November 2021 for $500,000 more than our reserve after a very short campaign. We have experience in property buying and selling and have high expectations of professional advisers generally but were blown away by James's skill, attitude, competence and communication. We had bought the 2 properties configured as one some years ago and it was on James considered advice that we decided to renovate and sell them as the 2 separate Lots they were shown on title to be (following their use over more than 30 years by our predecessor in title as one apartment). That separation of 2 Lots into 2 properties entailed quality full renovations, strata consent, maintaining liaison with strata and us throughout, and liaison with the renovation company FinAbode (recommended by James, again to our great satisfaction). James stuck his neck out for us in giving frank and fearless advice, and despite over 12 months of delays (about which we believe he had more misgivings than we did!) from first signing the sales agency agreements to sale at auction, James's honesty, integrity and strategic sales management repaid us all handsomely. Thankyou James, and your associate Ben Fraser for your efforts. Congratulations on a great sale. We believe that the purchasers will be very happy too, which is a nice feeling to have.
