James Nicol

Thank you James for guiding me through the selling of the property at 27 Burnbank street. Your contact with me was measured, calm and informative in regards to every aspect of the sale. I am delighted with the outcome that James achieved in a short time frame.

We'd talked to several agents about marketing our adjoining properties, and were given varying opinions. Initial high expectations from "agent one" were then toned down a bit. Our own views were challenged severely by "agent two". This "pricked our balloon" and we felt quite despondent. We questioned our own judgement about what our places were worth. We then had our properties independently valued, and were happy with the valuations. Deciding to ask a third agent, we sought an opinion from James Nicol. His presentation was professional, detailed and thorough. James told us straight out what he thought we would get. He talked about a marketing strategy and discussed the pros and cons of different methods of sale, explaining why he held those views. There was no pressure. We engaged James to sell our properties. We listed on the Thursday, inspections were on the Saturday, multiple offers came in on the Monday, negotiations were concluded on the Tuesday. The sale price for my property was 20% above the sworn valuation. Working with James was seamless. I have no hesitation in recommending James for anyone wanting to sell.

James made us feel at ease as we walk around the place. His spark was a positive sign for us.

We initially met James years ago when looking to purchase in Ballarat. We ended up buying a property that wasn’t his listing but he was kind enough to still give us tips & contacts of tradies in Ballarat. A few years later when we were ready to sell & after liaising with other agents we realised that James & Fran run the best real estate team in Ballarat, and they didn’t disappoint. In challenging times we were able to achieve excellent results thanks to James’ hard work & going beyond the normal duties of an agent, and always with his fun but professional approach. We highly recommend James & the Ballarat Biggin & Scott team for all real estate needs.

James has been a fantastic agent, he gave an honest appraisal of work required on the property and followed this up with a fair price range to ensure buyer interest. James kept in touch on a regular basis through phone, text and emails. There was literally no time that I ever wondered what progress was being made, this was due to the constant Communication. I truly recommend James as a highly skilled estate agent and communicator.

James was a pleasure to deal with . Very professional and went the extra mile
