James was the vendor's agent for the last property we purchased at auction earlier this year. He was at all times very professional and provided all the necessary documents - he has a personable approach. When it came to the settlement everything went very smoothly. We appreciated his work for this sale. 11A Yattendon Road, St Heliers
James's marketing and communication skills were the best. He gave everything to the campaign and the open days. He followed up on every potential buyer. Would recommend James to any vendor. 11A Yattendon Road, St Heliers
I found James to be always enthusiastic, confident but respectful and buyers must have felt the same. He was punctual for open homes and reported back to me immediately. I now have certainty in my life going forward. 35 Comins Crescent, Mission Bay
James was engaging, enthusiastic and professional throughout the sales process. Fantastic communication at all times, we always knew what was going on and what was planned. Great support through the auction process. 8 Stoneyroyd Gardens, Remuera
I was very happy with James. Highly recommended. 3 Tawapou Close, Massey
Our first experience as a seller and James made it a seamless process for me and my brother. We felt supported every step of the way and we felt that James had our best intentions at heart. With his professional opinion we opted to go for a deadline sale and the end result was an unconditional offer on the deadline, a result we were over the moon with. James kept us up to date throughout the campaign and has been in touch to check in after too. 3 Tawapou Close, Massey
I have never sold a house before, so I really needed an agent who knew what they were doing and could guide me through the process. James was recommended to me and I am so grateful for that recommendation. Right from the start, James was there to provide patient, friendly and helpful advice - including contact details for cleaners and stagers to help me prepare the property for sale. I don't know how he did it, but he sold my house in 16 days, for a figure comfortably above the GV, which is not easy in this market. He worked incredibly hard to get potential buyers into the auction room and into the hands of his very efficient auctioneer! I'm extremely grateful to James for getting such a fantastic result, and for being so patient, helpful and thorough throughout the process. 2/5 John Shaw Drive, Saint Johns
James Pemberton has been great to work with in our pursuit to purchase a new home over the 18 month period that we worked together. Whilst we have been very particular about our potential new home and therefore, had been through many Open Homes with James, James always showed his patience, professionalism, and has been very responsive and always encouraged us to not lose hope but pursue going through his shortlisted Open Homes until we came across the one that ticked all important boxes. We finally managed to purchase our new home through James and settled on 14th of September 2022. What my wife and I also liked about James was that he showed lot of integrity and collaborated well with other listing agents to assist us with our queries, request for additional information, etc., in relation to the properties we attended Open Homes. Given our great experience working with James, we would recommend him to all our friends and relatives and to anyone who is in the market to either Buy and/or Sell their property. 22 Koraha Street, Remuera
We had the pleasure of dealing with James on a recent house purchase. From the first open home we were impressed my James' professionalism and courtesy as we noticed he has a unique style of marketing and managing his listings. James was very assertive throughout the campaign and was quick to provide any information we needed promptly. He also demonstrated a high level of care to his buyers which is not always seen and remembered even the finest of details. We would gladly recommend James to any prospective buyers and sellers as I firmly believe he will do a sensational job. Thanks again James! 1/40 Ngaiwi Street, Orakei
I have been extremely pleased with the help that James has given me with the sale of my home. He was very professional but also was very genuine with working on my behalf. He even went so far as offering to do my shopping for me during lock down. I would recommend engaging James as your agent when selling your home. 1/40 Ngaiwi Street, Orakei
Although young, James was very attentive to details and ensured most of our needs were found when looking at homes. Communication was excellent. Went above and beyond for us. Good luck for 2020 James. 50A Patteson Ave, Mission Bay
