Jamie Benjamin was fantastic his knowledge and recommendations for our property was spot on. He far exceeded what we wanted for the property and it was very easy in handover. He made a high stress situation very pleasant I would recommend Jamie to everyone that is selling a house.
At all times Jamie displayed a very professional attitude, seemed to know the market well, and as proof the sale price was mid range to that he originally estimated. When we needed assistance at the "eleventh hour" Jamie was able to provide us with the support we so desperately required. Jamie helped make what was for us a very stressful situation a little less stressful. We will be forever grateful for his assistance.
Jamie is a great agent and has a lot of knowledge and know how when it comes to selling a home. He always works to do the best for the seller. He is very empathetic towards his clients and works with you through out the whole process, he rang after every open day and kept in touch as to how things were going by phone and as an agent I would recommend him. The following things I believe are more a Harcourt's issue and not Jamie . Selling a home is very stressful for the vendors with open days etc, We had actually just been through the process of selling another house with another agent which was more stress free. We do not have to pay the marketing fee till settlement and there is no interest charged, its hard enough selling without being told you need to find this money or pay interest if it is done at settlement. As a seller I do not need to know what people like and dislike about my house, it is after all my home my taste and not theirs and it left us very depressed with some of the comments and stressed. I do not think it is necessary to visit the agent every week for 20 mins for the same thing every week. With the other agent we met him twice and in between it was all emailed to us and went smoothly . Possibly the first two weeks which are the busiest then the last week to see how the campaign is going and set the reserve all on the same day. We were not impressed at having to have our busy stressful lives interrupted 4 times the last week, two open days which is expected but twice to see Jaime is not acceptable, once to see how things are going and set the reserve as well all on the same day would have been better. It was never done with the other house and different agent and it sold for twice as much. Sellers have busy lives as well and its not 24/7 just on the house. I appreciate all the hard work the agents and especially Jamie do and he was terrific. Harcourts making your system better can make the job better for your agents who do a remarkable job.
Jamie was able to make the deal happened even though the bid on auction firstly doesn't meet the owner's expectation. His excellent negotiation skills and precise marketing valuation knowledge make this deal come true. Thank you Jamie so we can get the house suit our requirements.
We are very happy to have enlisted the expertise of Jamie Benjamin and the Harcourts team for the sale of our house at North Rocks. We felt Jamie really demonstrated his expertise in the negotiations to sell with an excellent result prior to auction and his team made the whole process hassle-free. Jamie and his staff worked diligently to understand the list of prospective buyers, and he also gave us helpful advice on how to present the property for sale.
Jamie came very highly rated from a friend whose house he had also sold - he excelled in all aspects of the sale as my friend had said he would - minimum stress, lots of expertise and communication backed by a great team of experienced professionals.
Jamie was focused on ensuring an efficient sale. He was available on call to open the house for us on numerous times to inspect the house and ask questions which enabled us to make an informed decision on whether to buy or not. When our offer was accepted Jamie made the signing process convenient by coming to us even though it was on a Sunday evening. Jamie and his team has been very efficient in helping us after the sale too through access to the property for trade quotes and other questions.
Jamie is a successful real estate agent who astutely markets properties ,and confidently responds to client queries.
Jamie, assisted our family in buying our dream property. We certainly appreciate his knowledge and communication skills through the process. As stressful as it is he kept us updated and involved in the process.
Thank you jamie for an outstanding result and your impeccable professionalism throughout the whole process from start to finish. The importance is the middle and jamie was ace at that. An absolute scholar and thank you to you and also your wonderful team. I actually did thorough research on real estates and agents and I was immensely impressed with Jamie's profile and credentials and harcourts in general
Jamie put together a good strategy and a plan to support it. He reported against that plan and reviewed outcomes against predictions; the results were always pretty good. The final negotiations and the advice about going to auction vs accepting a reasonable early offer were well thought through and explained to us and we are very happy with the result. jamie, the only thing that irked was a "what happens next?" rather than having to ask for it, eventually through your office (very capable people) and the conveyancers. There is an old saying: "The moving finger writes and having writ moved on". Your finger seemed to move on without any writing.
