G&B Raffo Lane

James was at all times courteous and professional. He has the knowledge and expertise that we required. James kept us well-informed following each open house and was approachable regarding any issue we wished to discuss. We were very pleased with the outcome of our sale and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.

The best !

James and the team at SEA went above and beyond with the selling of our property. His knowledge of the area is unparalleled, and we felt at ease with the levels of communication, transparency and honesty that we got throughout the whole process. With SEA you’re not just a number, and that definitely makes all the difference. Thank you!

Head and shoulders above anyone any other agent I have encountered

Head and shoulders above anyone any other agent I have encountered

In a word: Faultless. From the start of the process through to sale my dealings with James made me feel !00% confident I had the right man on the case. James is open book, confident, supremely knowledgable and I had the strong impression that he was as keen as myself to secure the right price at the right time from the right buyer. It is entirely unreasonable an to compare James to other agents on the northern beaches....There James and then there the rest.

I can only state that James and his team did a great job selling our property. His organisation skills were on point, he communicated clearly and regularly (and always answered my calls). He achieved a great result in record time selling our house.

Outstanding Agent - Great experience

Outstanding Agent - Great experience

James ran a fantastic campaign for us with a result that far exceeded our expectations. He was professional, communicated well and each decision was always ours. He has incredible market knowledge and gave us a good expectation of sale price (that was well exceeded). He put a lot of effort into closing out the sale and was respectful and trustworthy always working for us. I would highly recommend James and his team. I thought the process would be stressful, it was nothing of the sort.

James has a deep, steely determination - never underestimate that smiling, affable, friendly Agent.

We were to referred to James by a Buyers agent who had the experience of dealing with James first hand - the main comment being, a ruthless negotiator - and overall good guy. A hardworking, gritty, determined operator - James was upfront, honest with his feedback and had a very strong belief in his ability to deliver. James held his experience and himself with high respect and regard, and he didn't disappoint by keeping us in line the whole time. As first time sellers, the process was very emotional and he managed our expectations very well. An affable, caring - genuine professional who is extremely passionate about his craft. Thank you James - you were a true gentleman and are a credit to the Industry ( albeit smiling assassin )

We were very impressed by James and John right from the start, selecting them as our agents based on their impressive results in the local area. Their display of people skills, market knowledge, professionalism, regular updates, reports, buyer feedback, guidance and willingness to go the extra mile provided great reassurance and peace of mind. It was a pleasure to have met them and their friendly team.

James is a local born and bred who has grown up and remained in the area and his knowledge of the market and locale was exceptional. From beginning of contractual obligations right through to the end, James always kept us informed and in the loop, communicating quickly and without prompting. We did not need to follow him up for anything, he was always one step ahead of us even when the pressure was on! Thank you James for your skill and professionalism.

Knowledgable, helpful and honest assistance selling our home in Freshwater.

Knowledgable, helpful and honest assistance selling our home in Freshwater.

We purchased the house from James, and based on this experience decided to use James to sell our home. James is second to none with real estate knowledge of the area, and understanding the nuances of the market in the current times. James was able to find a range of buyers, sort the serious from the tyre kickers, and come to us with options. He also helped in the decision making and at every stage was available and patient to talk through the likely outcomes. We were happy with the marketing campaign and the outcome.

Sold in two weeks!

Sold in two weeks!

Thank you James for selling our property way above our price expectations. If I'm honest, I didn't really want to sell my beautiful home, so set a price I didn't think you'd ever achieve. Within two weeks, our off market sale was secured. Amazing! Throughout the whole process I knew you were on our side, taking the heat from a difficult buyer in your stride. I hope I don't have to sell again for a while, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SEA to sellers. Huge thank you to you and your team.

Sale of my Freshwater Unit

Sale of my Freshwater Unit

I have know James for many years, initially as an agent and later as a friend. He has both sold and rented property on my behalf and has always gone above and beyond my expectations. The previous property he sold for me was a real challenge (I knew it would be) because it was an "outside the box" property but not only did he achieve the sale price I was hoping for but managed to obtain considerably more. That was about 10 years ago. Since then, James's company, SEA, with his wonderful team, has managed my Freshwater investment unit as a rental and has done a remarkable job. I recently decided to sell it and knew that this property would also be a challenge due to several factors, the Covid-19 situation, its size and lenders' restrictions but, once, again, James came through and achieved my "happy price". James always kept me informed of progress and his advice was invaluable prior to my making the final decision to sell the property which I have owned for 22 years. I would absolutely recommend James and his team to anybody who is looking for an agent to take care of either their rental needs or sale. You will not be disappointed.
