We came across James using google to find a local agent. After he called and we spoke he explained that even though the office where he works part time is in Dulwich, he lived in Eltham, not far from my property in fact. James explained that he is a self-employed estate agent and the passion he has for what he does was very obvious in the first few conversations we had. We hadn’t been particularly impressed with the local agents and frankly, some of their property adverts are shocking, and amateurish with terrible photography. I thought I’d take a punt and go with my heart over my head. James offered to help by spending some time to stage my property. I had tenants and whilst they were decent, I didn’t trust them enough or thought they’d care enough to help me. He spent several hours as my tenant told me, and the photography was just brilliant. Our advert had an astonishing 39 images, and we thought our property looked so much better than the other agents properties that we were competing against. In a tough market, he found us a buyer quickly and for a little over the asking price too. At this point I feel we need to mention Susie. The sale fell through, not due to us, or our buyer, but because of some difficulties a few rungs down in the chain. However, Susie was cool, didn’t panic and within a week or two we were back on track. Both have been so communicative, chatting on whatsapp, well outside of regular working hours, and we could see how Susie was keeping the chain together when other agents clearly weren’t doing such a good job. In fact, she was pretty amazing, and handled a very delicate situation with our tenants brilliantly. I know most people automatically think the big brands and the agents with boards everywhere are the best option, but now we’ve experienced a self-employed agent, we can absolutely recommend James completely. Both James and Susie held this sale together when it could easily have fallen apart, and you can feel the passion they’ve had throughout. James also managed a better price than some ‘bigger’ agents valued our house for, which is pretty remarkable for essentially a two-man team.

Brilliant experience with Fish Need Water! When we started thinking about moving house we didn't know where to start and so we spoke to a few agents, mainly high street as well as James.

I couldn't recommend James highly enough - in fact he saved our skins when we'd pretty much lost hope in the whole sale purchase. We were originally working with a high-street estate agent and getting absolutely nowhere - a few months of barely any viewings and one low offer. It ... Read Full Review

James was instrumental in selling our 3-bed house in Camberwell recently. We engaged around 5 local estate agents (incl. the most reputable ones in the area) and James outshone them by a mile. He was by far more knowledgeable on the market, the neighbourhood and had a clear sales strategy in mind. ... Read Full Review
