Exemplary service

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.

Thoroughly professional and delivered above our expectations.

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.

Professional, Hardworking & Gets Results!

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.

Could not ask for more

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.

Bought a property in Canadian from a Canadian

James was friendly and responsive to our questions and concerns. Extra cleaning before we move in during the pandemic is very much appreciated. No problems and a straightforward purchase.

A dynamic, professional team

After buying from James and Francesca 10 years ago we were keen to consider them as our agents for our sale. They were thoughtful, thorough and professional from start to finish. Their knowledge of the market helped them deliver above and beyond. I would definitely call on them again!
