James recently helped us through the emotional sale of our much loved home of 35 plus years , we cannot speak highly enough of a total professional who also cared as much about us as finding a buyer . One of the highlights was meeting the purchaser , brilliant service and care James , if we could give 10 stars we would. Ian and Rachel EP

James explained everything to us carefully, and showed his knowledge of the local market and what buyers are after. He was helpful, communicated well so we knew exactly where we were in the process, and is someone I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We’ve got to know James over the last few years through his friendly drop ins and monthly newsletters, so when it came time to sell our elderly mother Joan’s home, choosing him felt completely natural. From day one, he proved exactly why we’d always been impressed! He's sharp, organised, and was absolutely focused on achieving the best possible result for Mum. His communication was exceptional. James kept us updated at every step with proactive messages and a clear, detailed calendar that made the prep period and three week open home campaign feel smooth and manageable. No fluff, no salesy talk, just intelligent, honest, to the point guidance from someone who genuinely felt like a trusted advisor. He also reached a wide range of buyers, including strong engagement with Chinese buyers, while maintaining warm, positive relationships with Kiwi residents of all backgrounds. His professionalism, integrity, and work ethic were outstanding. James delivered far more than we ever hoped for at auction, and we are truly grateful for everything he did for us and our mum. Thank you, James, we honestly couldn’t have asked for better!

Very responsive, great market knowledge.

Thank you for assisting with the sale of our property. The process was completed successfully, and we appreciate the effort and time invested throughout the campaign. Wishing you all the best for the future.

I met James approximately 5 years ago. At the time he was canvassing for new business in our area, and I was impressed with his professional approach so contacted him when it came time to sell our property. My honest review of James is that he is customer focused and results driven. He has without a doubt provided the most professional service I have had in the Real Estate industry for the last 25 years. James and his team achieved a great result for us and I recommend him to anyone looking for an effective agent in real estate.

I found it a pleasure to work with James. He is straight forward, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. I highly recommend James.

James communicates very well, he responds to messages & emails promptly. He seems to have a very good knowledge of the local market and is proactive for prospective buyers in finding properties that aren't yet on the market. We found his negotiations skills to be very good and he keeps a cool head. When we needed tradesmen to fix some issues with the house, he suggested and introduced some tradesmen to us who he had worked with before and this saved us having to ring around. We found James to be very professional and would recommend him to any prospective vendor and/or buyer.

James has a very good knowledge of the current property market in this area and a good reputation for being professional and thorough in all aspects of selling a property. He was particularly helpful in assisting with the LIM and the Code of Compliance Certification process. He was always available and willing to answer queries and supportive to both parties. He was also present on the property for all stages of the sale - prepping the house, photographing, building inspection and private viewing. We would happily recommend his services to any future property sellers or purchasers.

James went above and beyond with the sale of our house. From the first conversation about getting an appraisal, to crafting a marketing plan, to helping us work through the offers, we always felt we were in safe and capable hands. His guidance and support made a stressful process so much easier. I would highly recommend James to anyone buying or selling. Thank you, James.

We had known James for some considerable time so it was without hesitation that we appointed him to sell our house. He has always been easy going, easy to talk to and never pushy. When we appointed him we explained that we were moving to a Lifestyle Village in Nelson and there was a deadline associated with same. However this did not seem resonate and it was only when we were closer to that deadline did he understood the situation. That said one couldn’t get a more involved and dedicated Agent who never gave up and was always on our case. Thanks James.

James puts in the hard work and it pays off! As a result of his friendly house calls over the years we had built a rapport with James. So when it came time to sell we had no hesitation in choosing him for the job. He cares about his clients, he listens, is calm, professional and knowledgeable about the market. James is well connected in many areas of the community, so once he was on board things moved very quickly! Communication was clear on pre sales preparation, marketing plan and timeline. James worked with us every step of the way to make the process as stress free as possible. Proactively seeking purchasers and matching them with vendors, James accelerates the process making a win win for all parties. Our house took 3 days from listing to an unconditional agreement! We have no hesitation in recommending James as a trusted adviser in the real estate business.
