I would highly recommend James to anyone selling their property. His expertise and support made the whole process easy and successful.

Congratulations to you and James on all your hard work; you achieved a fantastic result and made the whole experience a pleasure. I could not fault anything. Very professional and communication was excellent.

"Damian and James from Sotheby's International Realty provided a fantastic service in selling my home from the initial valuation through to the final Sale & Purchase Documentation. I found them both to be very professional, diligent and thoughtful in their approach. They were straight up which I appreciated and open for negotiation on aspects of the sale. Damian and James provided great guidance and professional advice throughout the entire sales journey. I would definitely recommend them and Southerbys as an expert organisation to work with. In particular Southerbys marketing style and photography is outstanding."

Damian and James are experts in the Bluff Hill market, and this showed during the sale of our home. Having that local knowledge, combined with excellent professional service meant we were very happy with both the process and the outcome.

Damian offers a professional and stressless experience in what can be a major life discission. His knowledge of how to present a property and get the best market exposure is invaluable. We were left with a confidence that the sales process would be best in class and fully supported by a strong team.

We first met Damien when we were looking for an investment property. He was a breath of fresh air compared to the disengaged disinterested agents we had dealt with prior. Engaging Damien to sell our house was no-brainer and he didn’t disappoint. Great outcome. Great agent. Great guy.

We can’t thank Damian enough for everything he done to sell our property, his professional mannerism and knowledge took away all the stress involved. Damian was polite, informative and adaptable in a quickly changing market. A gentleman to say the least.

James is a highly experienced agent. We appreciated his understanding and reading of the real estate market, in what are complex and dynamic times. His knowledge and advice enabled us to achieve a pleasing price within a short timeframe. We would highly recommend him to any prospective seller or buyer.

I am delighted that I chose to work with Damian Sweetapple, Sotheby’s to sell my home in Ahuriri. From the outset Damian was willing to listen and care about my perspective and to help me reach the point of letting go. I couldn’t be happier with the process and outcome. His confidence, attention to detail, and commitment to my time frame enabled me to have faith in his recommended process. He was honest, considerate, open and extremely professional. He worked hard to locate the perfect vendor for my home and appreciated that for me it was also important that the new vendor be considerate of my neighbours and the particularities of the body corporate. Damian went out of his way to guide and accommodate me and for that I am extremely grateful. If you choose to work with Damian I would advise the following - 'trust him’ - he knows his industry and he will treat you as his sole priority. Damian selling my house has enabled me to realise my dreams and move to France with peace of mind - merci, merci beaucoup. Christine S Formerly of Napier, now residing in France

We found Damian and James both very likeable and easy to work with. Damian was our primary. We felt we had very good communication with him, he was informative and guided us through the selling process with ease. Overall we felt we had excellent service from Sotheby's.

We have completed two property transactions with Damian over the past 12 months and have found him thoroughly trustworthy at all times. Open, honest, quick to respond and results driven, it is without hesitation that we recommend him.
