Outstanding agent

James has excellent communication, interpersonal skills, and current market knowledge. James kept us very well informed on the progress of the marketing of our house, and provided constructive feedback throughout. James did everything he said he was going to do. We felt confident that James would achieve the best outcome on the sale of our house, which is exactly what happened. We highly recommend James.

Pleasure to deal with

James presented himself as professional but warm and friendly from the beginning. He had a sound knowledge of the property and provided accurate information about the house as well as expectations about the sale of the property. He followed up the open home with a phone call, and was helpful with all our questions. Very efficient and helpful throughout! A very pleasant and happy experience for us!

An Absolutely Amazing Agent!!!!

I am so glad I found James to sell my apartment, which I owned for 18 years and has been in the family for 31 years! It was a big decision to sell, but putting the emotional attachment aside, it was the right decision. And James made me feel comfortable from beginning to end of the campaign. After a negative experience with a previous agent, I was weary of James’ promises but he met all my needs and went above and beyond his duty. He even keeps a broom and dust pan in his car, in case he needs to sweep anything! At the beginning when I met James, I had uncooperative tenants and James was very understanding and advised I waited for them to vacant; he didn’t push that I sell at that time, as he wanted to make sure it was the right time to sell. Once I was ready to sell, James advised me on what improvements the apartment needed and he was almost like my own personal decorator; asking him for his suggestions on colour, etc. James kept me informed step by step with texts, phone calls, emails and called after each open for inspection, regardless of whether any potential buyers turned up or not. He is very very organised and even gave me a plan of what will happen on which day. James is a very professional, friendly, approachable and down-to-earth real estate agent! I highly recommend James.

OUTSTANDING AGENT

Dear James, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for selling my property 2/230 Barkly St St Kilda for a record price. I only hope this recommendation is worthy of your outstanding excellence and professionalism. From the very beginning I was impressed with your honesty, integrity and intimate knowledge of the market. You listened to my ideas of the improvements I wanted to make to the property before going on the market and then with my budget in consideration you suggested where the money would be better spent to improve the property. Like many times afterwards I’m so thankful I listened to your advice. We met with your team of professionals and discussed what needed to be done improving on ideas and when you sent me the quote it was within my budget. All the work was done to the highest standard which was very important to both of us. For you as a consummate professional whose reputation is very important to you and for me who has once been on the receiving end of buying a patch up job. No shortcuts were taken by your team and you even passed by the property daily and sent me photos of the work in progress. You even wrangled over the carpet price and chose the perfect quality and colour to suit the property. Which I don’t believe is in your job description but just another example of how you go above and beyond to assist your clients. No detail is too small. In an industry of sharks you stand out like a shining beacon. I felt I was in safe hands and relaxed knowing I had found someone I could trust completely and who had a high level of expertise. You promised to keep me informed every step of the way and your communication was fantastic. You promised to be at every opening yourself and not pass me on to a junior and you did. You also made yourself available for all private viewings and gave me direct feedback. You said you would work hard for me and you did following up every group with a phone call after the openings.

Very happy client

James has been fantastic in helping me purchase 2/230 Barkly st st kilda. I love this property and James has been as enthusiastic as me in helping me with the purchase. I could see my self living in this apartment and James seemed to share my vision. I do not have any negatives to say about James, he was available at all times and his advice was "spot on". Thank you James for everything, I am very happy!!!

Very knowledgeable and highly professional

A diligent and very energetic agent, James displayed professionalism and integrity at all times during the sale of our property. We very much appreciated his ongoing communication throughout the sale process, and his knowledge and advice contributed to a very successful outcome. I would unreservedly recommend James to friends and family (and have recommended him to my daughter and son in law), and would happily engage him in the future.
