My flat had been on the market for about 8 months with a well-known Edinburgh Estate agent. Unfortunately, as they hadn’t been very helpful or proactive at chasing leads, I then moved (stupidly) to an auction company. I switched to James after getting a flyer through the door and realising my flat was devalued when the auction company tried to persuade me to accept a ridiculously low offer.


This was one of the best decisions ever made. James is determined, great at communicating and follows up on every single enquiry he gets. To me communication is the most important thing, and he was always reachable whether at the weekend or later in the day (sorry James!) and kept potential buyers interested.


I wish I had engaged with him from the start of the process as I have no doubt my flat would not have stayed on the market so long. Thanks for all your hard work and I highly recommend you to anyone else looking to sell their house or flat.

Talk about saluting somebody’s indefatigability. My partner and I had spent months with a large firm of estate agents, pulling our hair out over what exactly they were doing to earn our fee. If we wanted to know what was going on we had to call them. They never, ever, called us. Moreover, when we did call, we were shunted from one person’s desk to another with no one individual ever responsible (or even on top of) our brief. When they finally allowed our sale to collapse at twenty minutes notice we simply gave up. After, that is, paying a hefty bill which they made clear in no uncertain terms we still owed them. Money literally for nothing.  Enter James and our world changed. We did not find him, he found us. He wrote to us outlining the things he could do and asking if we wanted to chat. We had nothing to lose. We agreed.  So along comes this punctual, charming, articulate and incredibly knowledgeable individual. We took to him immediately and from that day forth he was a dog with a bone on our behalf. Tireless, relentless and always keeping us in the loop. The happiest of endings – James got our sale and our purchase at the same prices we were happy with earlier.  Could have saved a lot of time, heartache and money if we had gone with James to begin with.  Moral of the story? Go with James to begin with. Thanks so much, James. You made a real difference to our lives. God speed, Sir.

I have recently sold my property through James and the whole experience was excellent, from start to finish. It was by far the best experience I have had when selling a property. His customer service is fantastic, and he would always go the extra mile to make sure I was happy. He listened to all my requirements and delivered on all his promises. I was kept informed at all times and never had to chase him to do anything, he was always a step ahead. I would highly recommend James and I also wouldn’t use anyone else when selling again in future.

James has been great from the get-go with Chloe and I. He is friendly, reliable, hardworking and willing to go that extra mile to ensure his clients are successful in selling their home. James spent time getting to know what Chloe and I wanted from the sale of our house and left no stone unturned! Would highly recommend and have done already.

James took over the selling of my property after months of little activity by an appointed major estate agent in Edinburgh. He was honest, on the case, easy to deal with and kept me fully updated. The property sold within the time frame he promised. I would suggest others who are stuck in a cycle of no-show viewings and having to chase their agent for action and updates, give James a chance.
