About James

Passionate about real estate and an esteemed sales veteran, it is no wonder James Snodgrass is one of the most successful real estate agents on the North Shore. He lives and breathes real estate and his passion shows in everything he does. In fact, real estate is in James’ blood – his great grandfather Robert Todd Forsyth founded RT Forsyth over 115 years ago. Before returning to take over the helm of Forsyth Real Estate, James was a member of the Army Special Forces, Commando Battalion. He then became the youngest Australian Associate Director of one of the largest commercial real estate firms in the world. "At Forsyth we pride ourselves on personalised service and being accessible to every property owner. At the same time we are totally committed to achieving the best possible result for every owner on every property we sell. Our longevity is proof of our ability to achieve excellent results". Bringing buyers and sellers together is what James does best. He makes an effort to really know the clients he is working for and draws on his extensive real estate expertise in advising them on all aspects of the sale of their home. Property owners who choose Forsyth to sell their home receive outstanding service and superior real estate marketing. As James explains “We know how to highlight the best features of a vendor's home". James is energetic, thorough and dedicated, always working to advance his clients' interests and achieve the maximum possible price for their property. The majority of his listings come from referrals, something that makes James particularly proud, "I have developed strong relationships with clients over the years and in some cases have sold clients' second and third homes". The longevity, professionalism and integrity of our firm has seen many clients stipulating in their wills that the home is to be sold through Forsyth. These people have valued our service over the last 100 years and we see a commitment like this very rewarding and rare. James has an enviable reputation in the sale of North Shore real estate and a record of achievement that is second to none. Having James Snodgrass working for you will make all the difference in the sale of your home.

I had a fantastic experience working with James, Maggie and the team at Forsyth Real Estate. In a challenging market, they secured a quick sale and guided me through the process with confidence and professionalism. Communication was exceptional throughout, with regular updates, prompt responses and clear advice at every stage. Their commitment, market knowledge, and proactive approach made the entire experience smooth and as stress free as possible. I highly recommend James and Forsyth Real Estate.

Experience counts when seeking success !

We have had a long family and generational association with Forsyth Real Estate. The firm managed our rental property consistent with our objective of long-term tenancy over optimum return. When the decision was made to sell, we were confident in the 127 years of local knowledge of the market that the firm represented. Once we had agreed as to what was the market value, James accepted our request to give the current tenant two weeks to make an acceptable offer. With none forthcoming, we confronted the issue of marketing the apartment so close to the Christmas-New Year holiday season. James's experience of the profile of the typical property purchaser of the suburb gave us the confidence to go to market pre, rather than after the holiday season. We accepted the proposition to style the apartment to aid the visualization of best layout. We agreed on the marketing plan for the short available time before auction. Taking up the Campaign Agent funding option ensured that external suppliers to this marketing plan were paid promptly. The priced received at auction set a new record for the complex. Experience counts when seeking success !! James has a well-trained and professional team for the sales and rental aspects of property. We are happy to recommend to others the services of James and his agency.

Exceptional Service

I interviewed a number of local estate agents to sell my property. I selected Forsyth because of their track record and their honest and open interactions. They proved to be very proactive, professional and communicative during the whole sale process. They did what they said they were going to do ! I felt that I was with a competent and professional team with James Snodgrass and his team, particularly Helen. I highly recommend Forsyth !
