We first met James in 2019 when we bought properties through him. The whole process was easy and smooth. As we are now planning for retirement, we asked James to sell our properties as well. He worked hard to achieve good results, and we were very pleased with the outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable agent.

James is an amazing and very knowlegable agent. Kept me well informed of the process along the way. Very friendly and top notch service 10/10 highly recommend
He asked a few questions about my situation, fisrt home? Etc. I explained recently seperated/divorced. Starting again. Touchy subject, but Eddie was, I felt, genuinely compassionate. I know he's working for the seller, & I'm the buyer. But it didn't feel like he was working completely against me.
Bridget knew how we liked to have the house presented and would tweek it for us before a viewing, if we were called away for work and couldn't do it.
Once again Alicia has given us a positive experience. She is extremely responsive & works hard for her clients. Thank you once again for making this experience hassle free.
We have experienced Alicia’s good work ethic as both purchasers and vendors. My initial brief to her was the need for honesty, transparency and a quick sale ( due to previous negative experiences from other agencies). Bingo - within 24 hours of commencing the marketing of our property we had an offer. These purchasers were eventually successful - once they had sold their home. In the meantime we were presented two strong back up offers. Really we couldn’t have asked for more. Alicia deserves to do well in her chosen career path as a Real Estate agent.
Paul was a great agent to buy through. Paul made the whole process a lot easier to understand with his clear and consistent communication. He was always very respectful of me as well as the couple selling the house. Paul was very friendly and smiley and I think it was really neat to hear how excited he was for myself and my daughters when the sale of the house went unconditional. Thank you so much Paul! I really appreciated you walking this journey with my daughters and I.
Caleb was one of four agents we met with, and was easily the best choice. He included our daughters in each meeting, either in person or on line, ensuring strong communication and family support. When tenders closed, he presented the offers thoughtfully, and explained the details with patience and care. Caleb comes with a strong team, who follow up with the admin and weekly reports. We were very happy with the results Caleb achieved for us, for the advice and support he provided. His experience and knowledge of the market set us up for success. He is highly recommended!
We found Caleb & Wilma super easy to work with, and we valued their good communication & responsiveness. As buyers, it was important to us through negotiations that we were open & honest with the seller, and we appreciate that Caleb passed on what we were saying in an honest and authentic way. From organising a private viewing to getting the deal done, we felt that the process was simple, calm and well managed.
Eddie had a very good knowledge of the local market and recent sale prices in the area. Easy to talk with and offered good advice which all helped make this experience of selling stress free. Very professional in his approach and an excellent negotiator with a swift sale. Thank you Eddie.
