Good honest agent, easy to talk to and always happy to help

Jim always kept us updated. He was willing to share his vast experience with us, and was friendly and professional. We even shared coffee with him.

Jim provided great advice & expertise on the subdivision & development of farm lots for sale. He has sound knowledge for the proceedures through The Council Surveyors & Solicitors making a good result for all concerned.

I found Jim to be very helpful when purchasing our property. He has a sound knowledge of rural property in the area. He was not at any stage forceful in trying to make a sale.

Jim guided us along our emotional journey sensitively and gently always keeping us in the picture with weekly emails and phone calls. He negotiated a satisfactory price for us and did it with finesse and flare and a great degree of competence. Thank you Jim.

We engaged Jim Ritchie in October 2015 to appraise our 5,000 acre grazing property with the intent of listing at a real market value to ensure a positive response and early sale. We had conducted some of our own market research into regional property values and had some idea as to our target price. Jim's assessment was consistent and in fact marginally higher than ours, using a much more informed recent data set than what we had access to. Jim provided marketing options and recommendations which we felt were sensible and cost effective, his access to the broader property marketing network resulted in our property being featured, complete with story and additional photographs, in the peak rural newspaper property sections. Jim developed a comprehensive information memorandum that was made available to potential purchasers requiring more detailed information, ultimately providing over 30 copies to interested parties. Three property inspections in January 2016 resulted in a firm offer in February with a sale completed in April. Throughout the process Jim provided excellent feedback and updates, plenty of notice regarding inspections and in our view conducted himself in a courteous and professional manner that obviously also resonated with the potential and ultimate purchasers.
