James has been excellent all the way through the sales process. His availability at all times of the day and weekends is a breath of fresh air!! Working in professional services, I see on a daily basis huge variance in client service and James is certainly one of the best.

James acted for us in the purchase of a house and the sale of our existing flat. We first met him at the viewing for our new house, where he did a great job of explaining what he thought we’d need to do in order to secure the property in the current hectic market. We felt that he negotiated well, communicated clearly, and we were able to quickly agree an offer between ourselves and his clients before the property went to closing date. 
 
He was excellent in the sale of our flat, clearly explaining his strategy for the sale, helped arrange the flat to photograph well for the sales materials, and achieved a strong valuation. He efficiently vetted potential viewers to ensure only serious potential buyers viewed the property and achieved a sale above valuation within one week. 
 
His communication remained great throughout, including helping us set our expectations for the timescales of the different stages of the process, and helped everyone in the chain keep calm when banks wanted additional surveys.

We’d absolutely recommend James as an estate agent for your property; he’s friendly, knowledgeable, and very proactive.

James is all you can want from an Estate Agent, easy to contact (even at weekends/evenings), professional, down to earth, responsive, sets realistic expectations and works tirelessly to get you the result you want. Once our property had sold, we got to see how other estate agents operate and we had agents fail to turn up for viewings, take 48 hours to respond to viewing requests or just not respond whatsoever. Having dealt with James we were pretty shocked at the standards with other agents so if we sell property in future, I wouldn’t use anyone else.

After eight months with a well-known Edinburgh agency, I was in the kitchen of my two-bedroom flat in central Edinburgh. There was yet another flyer from Cecchini Property agent, James Milne. I phoned the number and by the weekend had met him and was impressed. He is an agent who gets things done.  I had met no one from the other agency as their office was closed and all worked from home.  James told me about his strategy for my flat, we put it back on the market. He was forensic in the choice of clients and within five weeks it was sold at an excellent price with exchange happening three weeks later.

Commission was charged on the amount raised over the home report valuation.  This was worth every penny as with the previous agency I had accepted four offers that were under the home report. All fell through. The expenses of the previous year with the other agency were wiped out by the selling price that James achieved.

Throughout the sale he kept us informed and updated and always responded if I wanted contact. 

James is exactly who you need to sell your property.  A born communicator, he will use all his skills and knowledge to affect a good and fast sale.
