When it was time to sell our property we naturally used him again. James is very friendly and professional with a good understanding and knowledge of the property market. James made the whole business of marketing and selling our property easy, he was in contact regularly and we received timely feedback from open home viewings. James is friendly and an exceptional salesperson, his enthusiasm and his integrity along with his outstanding sales and marketing skills made him a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone buying or selling a property."
