Great Result. Price achieved far greater than expected.

From our first meeting James and John developed a well thought out and executed marketing strategy for our property. The property was reviewed prior to marketing with advise given for works to be undertaken to ensure we got maximum outcome. The strategy devised showed there vast experience in the Freshwater, Queenscliff and Curl Curl markets. James contacts with styling and photo video /production were excellent and easy to deal with. The photos and video represented the lifestyle we wanted to show. Once the property was marketed and inspections undertaken we received a weekly report showing inspection numbers and honest feedback. James and John were always available in person at there office or via the phone. As with any auction the process near the end of marketing can be quite stressful. The team at SEA were able to thoroughly answer our enquires and assist us with any concerns. We honestly want to thank James and his team for there diligence, professionalism and communication throughout all aspects of the process and would thoroughly recommend SEA to anyone interested in listing there property. Our result speaks for itself. Thanks again James and John it was a pleasure. Regards John and Alison Vaubell

We would highly recommend James Smyth from Smyth Estate Agents for anyone looking to sell their property. James recently sold our property in Freshwater within a remarkable six-day off-market campaign, exceeding our expectations in every way. We have known James for several years and from the moment we engaged James as our agent, it was evident that he possesses a strong sense of honesty and integrity. Throughout the entire process, James consistently demonstrated professionalism and a deep understanding of the real estate market. His expertise and knowledge of the local area were invaluable in guiding us through the selling process. One aspect we truly appreciated was James’ willingness to provide advice and feedback regarding our sale. He took the time to understand our goals and priorities, offering valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. We always felt supported and confident in James’ recommendations. The speed at which James sold our property was truly remarkable, and it is a testament to his excellent negotiation skills and strategic marketing approach. He leveraged his extensive network and conducted a highly effective off-market campaign that attracted qualified buyers and resulted in a successful sale. Overall, our experience with James Smyth and Smyth Estate Agents was exceptional. If you’re searching for a real estate agent who is honest, possesses integrity, and consistently goes above and beyond for their clients, James is the perfect choice.

James’ friendly, professional advice, market knowledge, recommendation of excellent legal assistance all ended in a very successful sale. I would definitely recommend James Smyth Real Estate to anyone with a dwelling to rent or sell.

They know their stuff!

James’s knowledge of the market is like no other agent. He has an honest, upfront and realistic approach. There are plenty of agents out there that will tell you what you want to hear, list your property, only for it to sit on the market and not sell. James backs his knowledge up with actual data and will sell your property because it is priced right. Not only this but he knows how to get the best out of the purchaser leading to a successful outcome for the seller. We’ve had a great experience every time we have bought, sold or leased our properties with James.
