His purpose as a Real Estate Agent…

That’s his purpose. He lives it every day.

What brought him here…

Although James has spent many years of his career in client servicing, sales and marketing roles, he knew his passion for people and living spaces would one day lead him here. At the risk of sounding overly sentimental, for James, real estate has been a calling for a very long time.

After years of service as a real estate agent; one winter morning, James’ analytical left brain collided with his creative right brain, and the idea to float a real estate agency was hatched. So he rounded up a vibrant team of passionate, multicultural, multi-discipline professionals, roped in from all tiers of the real estate value chain.

Today, James has the pleasure of working with some of the amazingly talented and passionate individuals, who couldn't work more tirelessly to provide exceptional service even if they tried.

Why he is different…

Over the years, James have built a reputation for fiercely protecting his client’s interest, together with his personal network, referrals and repeat business forms the foundation of his career in real estate. Savvy negotiations skills, cutting-edge marketing tactics, outstanding client serving, 24/7 availability, paired with uncompromising integrity are all hallmarks of James’ service to the real estate industry here in Melbourne.

James treat every assignment as an opportunity to do better than he did yesterday, and we thought yesterday was a pretty good day.

When he’s not working…

When James not showing clients the best living spaces Melbourne has to offer, you can find him basking in the ambience of family and friends with his beautiful wife, and two children, or singing his heart out to some old rock ’n roll classics with his guitar at a dinner dance.
