“We had a fantastic experience working with James as our buyer’s agent for our second property purchase.

His professionalism, confidence, and knowledge of the Newcastle and Lake Mac markets were invaluable.

James truly listened to our needs, and while respectful of our direction, he also challenged us thoughtfully, helping us make the best possible decisions. Thanks to his expertise, we felt confident every step of the way.

We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy buyer’s agent.”
