About James

James Sexton is one of South Australia’s and Australia’s leading real estate professional businessmen and community supporter. He is committed to the Hills, has a rural background and loves to work in his garden. This dedicated family man, along with his wife Julie, has built an exceptional real estate reputation of family values, client care and hard work. James is a leader in social media and uses it to promote the Hills wherever he can. With an eclectic mix of scenery, cafes, history and garden knowledge shared, he gets particularly excited when Kew Gardens mark some of his home garden posts as favourites. Supporting the community in many ways, more recently as chairman of Business Mt Barker, and co-chair of the Heyson Heritage Foundation, James is constantly working to help Hills communities. James loves real estate – helping people to buy their dream property, or selling their homes to move on to the next stage. He is still in the top 10% of salespeople in Australia and his negotiation skills are legendary. From $19 million sales to $100,000 blocks, James gets the job done through his unrivaled client base and understanding. With 3 children and 7 grandchildren, James is not even considering slowing down. His energy, experience and enthusiasm are without peer in the Adelaide Hills.

Unfortunate Negative Review

We don’t like giving negative reviews but unfortunately in this instance it is called for. Right from the onset of us being interested in this land purchase communication was extremely poor to the point of non existent. We called the agent many times & followed up with text messages with no return response & this happened on many occasions. In the end we sent an email to another agent explaining this and had an almost immediate reply with soon after a reply from our agent too. All the way through the purchase communication was lacking to the point we almost pulled out. Unfortunately this wasn’t the only negative path to this purchase. We were told that there was power to the building site which we later found out to be untrue there was in fact no power on site with costs of many thousands to connect into. We were also told that the shed was concreted but with it being locked with previous owners possessions inside fully stocked - more thousands to completely redo floor as it’s extremely uneven concrete slabs laid on dirt not a concrete pad as told. Unfortunately the purchase of our dream parcel of land came with a very sour taste in our mouths with extremely poor communication & a feeling of complete unprofessionalism along with many thousands of extra out of pocket expenses. Unfortunately we wouldn’t recommend this agent.

Professional and Friendly

James made the whole buying process simple. Everything was taken care of on time in a professional manner and we were kept up to date throughout the whole process. James' knowledge of the surrounding area was amazing. I would have no hesitation to buy or sell another property through James.
