Without a hitch

James and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful. James always got back to me in a timely manner and was always available to answer any questions. He was enthusiastic in marketing the property without being pushy. I would definitely recommend James to other prospective sellers.

James achieved a fantastic off market result!!

James achieved a fantastic off market result!!

My husband and I were considering selling but were hesitant to officially put our house on the market. James had several interested parties and we received an impressive offer. James was enthusiastic, understanding and very patient during the whole process. Kendall was also extremely helpful particularly during settlement. I couldn’t recommend the James Thompson Team highly enough.

Excellent knowledge of the Realestate Industry and Marketing techniques

Excellent knowledge of the Realestate Industry and Marketing techniques

James Thompson is a young but very experienced and professional Realestate Agent. With the first meeting and after his presentation we were very confident that James was the person to market and sell our unit in Como. We found that we had to do very little as James took control of the marketing and displayed open homes at normal plus outer hours when he was reading the public interest. We had meetings and the feed back was forthcoming on the comments of those viewing the property. We had an excellent relationship and heeded his professional industry advice and in turn he heeded our needs and requirements to sell our unit, it was due to this teamwork that the property was sold at a price where both the seller (us) and the buyer were happy. Excellent and pleasing customer service from James and his team from Bourkes realestate.

Excellent results achieved during a hard market

James has a great understanding of the market in Como, and was able to secure an offer within the initial range quoted. Him and his team worked closely with us to ensure all requirements for sale through to settlement were clearly explained and offered and over and above service. We have no doubt he treated all viewers of our property with the same respect and honesty we received throughout the sale process.

Buying and selling

Before buying our present home, we came across James and various "home opens" and we found him to be friendly, polite and understanding of our needs. Over time we looked at a number of homes but none were what we were looking for and James never tried to push us into something that was not suitable. However, he kept us in mind and when the opportunity arose for us to sell our old home he contacted us - by chance I had already seen the Labouchere property advertised and, by chance, this was also under his umbrella and the rest is history. Not having gone through the process for nearly 30 years, (which was vastly different from today) we were not aware of the changes in the process of buying and selling made during that time - who moves when etc. and all the other expectations that are in place in this age. As a result, we got a bit confused about the process and maybe that is something that could be kept in mind by all reps when dealing with the older generation who have not been through the process in many years. Certainly, when we asked the questions, James was very patient with us and gave us the answers and we thank him for that.

James Thompson of Bourkes Real Estate

We found James considerate, efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable about the market situation. We trusted his judgement and were happy to take his advice at all times. He set clear goals for the sale of our property and was energetic, encouraging and realistic. We were very happy with his approach and would certainly recommend him as an excellent estate agent to others.

James was the seller's agent but we genuinely felt that he was representing our interests too. He is clearly highly skilled, and even more importantly (from our perspective) has a very collaborative and transparent approach. When we hit an obstacle with finance he provided direct, calm, and non-intrusive advice and assistance at the critical time. The office support was excellent too. We might not have been able to settle if a different agent had been handling this, and we will always be grateful to James.
