His teaching background shows in how he communicates: he explains the process clearly, keeps clients informed, and negotiates positively with buyers and sellers. Real estate is about people, not properties. What clients say “Tim was a pleasure to deal with. The whole process was slick and seamless.

Sales Agent

About Jamie
If you asked Jamie how he does what he does he will most likely tell you that he follows his heart. After a very successful start to his career in 2008, at a time when property prices were on a downward spiral, Jamie bucked the trend, selling over 40 homes in his first 12 months, while others were still contemplating how to react to the market. “I finished my first year and thought, wow that was a good start, but there was something missing. I didn’t feel as great as I thought I would”. And so started a journey for Jamie to understand what success really looked like for him. “Ten years on and I look back and can see where my why has come from.” Jamie soon worked out that just selling a lot of houses wasn’t a measure for success. A close mentor advised Jamie. “It doesn’t matter how many properties you sell or what awards you win, you still need to be able to put your head on the pillow at night and sleep well.” Jamie is now embarking on the next stage of his career with a clear focus on growth and mentorship for others. “I found that there are so many factors when meeting your clients needs and expectations. If you make the relationship the centre of your why, then everything else just falls into place” Take the time to talk to Jamie about your next move. It will most likely be a conversation worth having.

About us

Our clients genuinely matter to us and what you think of us and how we work really does directly affect our entire business! There is no better way for us to grow our business than to exceed our customers’ expectations and we’d like to think our track record shows how seriously we take this with 70% of our business coming from repeats or referrals. Our business is built on exceeding client expectations, and our results are testament to our success. The Locals team have been recognised on a national and international level on multiple occasions. Their consistent delivery of outstanding service over two decades has led to them be awarded the International No 1 Salesperson status out of 5000 agents over the entire Ray White network across 8 countries on three separate occasions. We think it's pretty special and proof that we really do go the extra mile for our clients. As a family based business with family based values, we all work closely together with a shared vision and common goal to always achieve the best result. This philosophy rubs off onto the rest of our valued team. We pride ourselves on putting people before property, so you can expect a friendly, honest and personalised service where we listen to your needs and expectations. That may sound like it’s ‘going against the grain’ for a real estate specialist, but what it really means is that we know we are dealing with people, not numbers. You’ll find that there is a certain way we operate, we prefer to keep it real...for real people. We know everyone puts their best foot forward saying they’ll do their utmost and promising the earth. We just get on and actually do it and let the results speak for themselves. With over 2000 happy clients and counting, we must be doing something right!

the easiest interaction with an estate agent to date

Having been to literally dozens and dozens of open homes, one thing I have consistently dreaded was having to interact with pushy, arrogant and overly intrusive real estate agents who start with the hard sell the moment you enter the property, and try to gloss over aspects of a property that may be huge red flags. Thankfuly Nathan did none of that, he was relaxed, friendly, informative and helpful. Not once did I get the feeling that he was trying to apply pressure on me to get my information or how much I could extend to financially or how quickly I could settle. Instead he very clearly communicated the pros and cons of the property, and made it clear what the sellers expectations were, no pressure, no bs. And in my continued interactions with him in completing the sale he has remained extremely easy and pleasant to work with. If more agents acted like he does Im not sure there'd be auch a negative stereotype about them.

Nathan is knowledgeable and experienced and above all a kind and supportive agent.

Right from the beginning of the sales process, Nathan and the Ray White Kingsland team have been there for me. Nathan explained clearly what the sales process involved and has always responded promptly to queries. His feedback from open homes was timely and detailed and his communication in general was great. I've felt well served by Nathan's professional, reliable and trustworthy approach. I don't think my house sale could have been in better hands. Nathan's calm, positive and encouraging attitude often helped me deal with my anxieties during the sales process.

Nathan was really helpful and communicative throughout the process

Nathan was really helpful and communicative throughout the process - arranging a private viewing for us as we were moving from elsewhere in the country, doing video walk throughs and taking measurements when we had specific questions prior to settlement. He made buying a first home much less scary/stressful than it could have been!

Professional, highly engaged and committed to success

Nathan worked really hard to get our sale over the line in a slow market - many open homes, lots of follow-ups and a lot of patience. He dealt with many detailed questions from the eventual buyer without requiring our input unless it was genuinely necessary, and offered useful judgments about counter-offers and how to approach them. Nathan kept us well-informed throughout the sales process, from initial appraisal through to going unconditional. A bonus was his understanding of our particular apartment building and its advantages, and his willingness to navigate moments where we, as vendors, were not initially in alignment about the next move. I would absolutely recommend him to either buyer or seller - his aim is for everyone to walk away feeling good about the process and the outcome, and he certainly delivered for us.
