James Mc Kinlay was most helpful in facilitating the purchase of our recent property acquisition. He was positive in his manner and helpful in directing my wife and I through the QLD real estate transaction process.

A Pleasure Working with James

We purchased a property through James and found him to be courteous, efficient and easy to deal with. James was in constant contact with the overseas seller, keeping them up to date with our offers and concerns, and providing us with feedback in a transparent manner. While representing his seller, James kept us in the picture, and this made the negotiations transparent and orderly. Any hiccups in the process were also dealt with quickly and efficiently. We were very pleased to have James as a partner in the purchase of our new house.

We found James to be the consummate real estate professional and frankly the best we have experienced in all the capital cities of Australia in which we have sold residential properties. He has excellent local knowledge, great selling skills and regularly kept us informed and in contact. Due to James, we knew exactly where the market was for our property, what marketing strategy was required to sell it and at all times, where we were at with each potential buyer who made contact. We have no hesitation in recommending James and his team.

James knows what it means to provide excellent service - he is attentive, available, responds very quickly and goes above and beyond. A pleasant change from the numerous less than satisfactory agents in the industry. I would not hesitate to recommend James. Thank you for making the transaction smooth and hassle free.
