James conducted himself professionally and honestly from the time we started talking and we were successfull in selling all 3 townhouses in the one day even though only the 1st one was up for auction..it's hard to find agents like this and have recommended him yo others.Well done and look forward to our next transaction.

On the recent sale of our house carried out by James, both my wife and myself have nothing but praise for the professionalism shown by James throughout the entire process. Firstly on securing the sale and then all the ongoing steps required for the sale. Always keeping ourselves informed on the progress and most importantly securing a buyer at a price above our expectations. James has shown himself to be well versed with peoples individual personalities and knowledge to gauge peoples budgetary potential. I would have no problem in recommending James and Buxton to friends and colleagues.
When we decided to sell our house we had options to sign with an agent who had maintained contact for a number of years, but was not well represented in the area, or an agent who has kept in consistent contact in recent years, and had a high profile in our area. We chose the latter, being James Marcou. James was positive from the start and very friendly and professional in his approach and dealings with us. We always knew where we stood with the marketing campaign and the preparation for required. James even offered (which was gratefully accepted) to bid at our property purchase, which resulted in a satisfactory purchase. As the campaign progressed we were fully informed and supported in what to us, was a life changing decision. Through good and sound marketing strategies, offers were made prior to the auction date, one of which we accepted as a very good price for our property, at that time the highest in our area. For his diligence, friendliness, acumen and for generally being a very nice person, we are more than happy to recommend James as an outstanding agent. Daryl and Susan Hamilton
James was very professional and easy to deal with. He didn't over-quote market price to get the business. He responded very promptly, and he kept me up to date throughout the sale process. I felt he was there to do his best for my benefit. He delivered excellent results and if it were possible, I will happily engage his services again in the future.
James was the agent on the purchase of a property in Ashburton. James was quick to communicate and proactive with the issue that were important to us. Thanks for the help James.
At first we didn't quite know what to expect when selling a property while living overseas. James made it feel like we were there. Great communication with us and our tenants, through very good preparation, market experience and advice throughout the process.
James was extremely helpful in purchasing my new home. I would highly recommend him. Elaine Palioyiannis
James Marcou carried out a great campaign, and completed a great sale for us, setting a new record in the area. I have used him before and would use him again!
If you asked what my experience of 25 years of property investment could tell about James Marcou, the answer would be just one word: Unreal! How could he know I need him? Even when we were just in the first 1 minute of our first phone call? How could he be so sure this is HIS? Even he knew this selling property has been looked after by another agent for more than 10 years? How could he so committed he will reach my expectation? Even when the 'most' experienced agent concluded it would never sell for my asking price? How could he see what seller thinking? what buyers thinking? Or even what the market thinking? Even in just a flash of one, single observation? How could he ..... .... ??? ??? I have known so many agents at so many places, including those so good, so goodlooking ladies and gentlemen of my long time agents from NJ, JC, HS, RW from Melbourne. But James Marcou is different from all. It's beyond, way beyond, hard working, or positive thinking, or opportunity grabbing … or whatever say qualities all real estate agents have to have, what James Marcou has displayed was like a Pluto encounter show, a discovery of his unique natural gift - The Sense of Chances. He is a natural winner, a natural champion, a natural KING of the game.
we are very impressed with James' service in our buying property transaction, with his professionalism, tenderness approach, and warmth in communication. We would use James again for our future real estate dealing, and recommend our friends buyers to enjoy his good service.
I met James a couple of years ago when he was selling the house next door to mine and then again a little while later when he sold the house across the street as well. A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to sell mine and was looking at a couple of houses in the area that I might like to buy. And who did I bump into? James. So of course I asked him to come a long and give me an appraisal as he knew my street really well, who better to do the job than him? From the first visit we had to the final result just last Saturday, everything was executed exactly on time and without any hassle at all. Everything was just done. I didn't have to worry about anything... except getting my house ready for inspections each Thursday and Saturday! On Auction day James was amazing! It all happened very quickly and without fuss with an excellent result! I couldn't be happier. James was always professional and knew his stuff. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their property without any hesitation whatsoever. Thank you James!!!
