I live in Coffs Harbour and was selling a house in the Blue Mountains. At the time of the sale of our house in Hazelbrook, I was very ill and in and out of hospital. Our communication was basically by phone and text. It took some time to find the right buyer, but James persevered and the property was sold at a good price considering the market was slowing. I would recommend James, as an agent to all prospective sellers and buyers of property.

James is friendly and easy to talk to - no high pressure tactics. James and his team provided a realistic evaluation of our property, produced a very professional brochure and sold the house within 4 weeks. I would recommend James as a very professional agent.

James is a very friendly, accessible and professional agent. Knows the market and gives sound advice.

When I had to sell my mum's place, James was our first choice. He was able to help at every step of the process, from advice on preparing the property for sale, through managing listing and the final price negotiations in the sale. Highly recommended, he was enthusiastic and made sure he was available when we needed him.

Given for most people their "home" is their pride and joy- James realised from the beginning how much I loved living in this home at Glenbrook. James was very honest with what he felt would assist us in selling our home and even when we had second thoughts there was no pressure for us to list our home. Our feedback during the sales process was always honest and prompt which we really appreciated. We loved dealing with James and would highly recommend him to family and friends.

We were under a lot of pressure and grief with the loss of our mother. To complicate matters more my sister found herself in critical condition for a little over 8 months. As a result the property sale was put on hold. James was very supportive and managed to maintain interest in the background withthe buyers explaining that we had a medical complication while we waited for my sister to recover. Eventually my sister was able to give the go ahead for the sale and I feel we got the best price we could have in the market at the time of the sale. Thanks James for your support, perseverance and patients during what both my sister and I feel was the most challenging time of our lives.

I recently sold my mother's Mount Riverview property for her with James Simadas from Chapman Real Estate as the agent. James has a thorough knowledge of the local area and market, with the whole process flowing smoothly from our first meeting right through to settlement. No fuss, no problems, very helpful and always communicating how it was going. Thoroughly recommended.

I found it easy to trust James and what he said because he was genuinely, genuine and honest. He work extremely hard to sell our house as I know he would on any house sale. But most importantly, James was there for us when it all got a little stressful and that was refreshing and appreciative. I would recommended James Simadas and Chapman Reality to anyone if they wanted a good sale with minimal stress. Jeff C

We have recently sold our house through Chapman Real Estate and James Simadas was our agent of choice. We had previously purchased another property through James. From the outset James was frank & honest with us, stating that while our property was well maintained and a very desirable residence, it would need a buyer (or buyers) that were looking for something special and that it might take some time to sell. James is very thorough and kept us well advised of inspection numbers, prospective buyers throughout the process. While at one stage, we were considering lowering our price range, James counselled us to "hold our nerve" for a bit longer. This proved to be very valuable as he was able to bring two clients through in the next week, both of whom made offers (& one was the eventual purchaser). I would thoroughly recommend James to anyone buying or selling property in the Lower Blue Mountains. Chris Sutheland

James was highly motivated to sell our property. He continuously reassured us throughout the process, he was available whenever we needed to consult and he keep a positive out look on proceedings. We would gladly recommend James he was courteous, always listened to our concerns and acted on our requests.

Very Professional, continually keeps us informed, Highly recommend.

James unlike some agents he was always upfront with his views, he wasn't afraid to tell us what he thought the true potential sales value our property could achieve was, and not what we wanted to hear. James not only efficiently handled the sale of our property but was a great help to us negotiating and completing a most difficult purchase that dragged on over six months
