What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Buyers relocating to Sydney from interstate or arriving from overseas make up a notable share of the clients described in feedback for Hunter James, and their accounts centre on navigating an unfamiliar market marked by limited supply and competitive bidding. A recurring theme is the contribution of named staff, among them Seb, Richie and Sebastian, whose industry contacts and depth of experience purchasers credit with opening up opportunities before properties reach the open market and with securing homes that might otherwise have gone to rival bidders. Reviewers describe end-to-end assistance, transparent dealings and skilled negotiation that delivered favourable purchase prices, with one client noting savings on the final figure.

First home buyers value patient explanations of valuations, discussions with selling agents and comprehensive reports on serious contenders, while longer-standing clients return for later purchases. Communication across the search attracts frequent praise, including prompt answers to questions, shared inspection videos and generous availability. Accounts mention that a process normally regarded as stressful became seamless, with purchasers feeling comfortable and informed throughout. The thread running through the feedback is professional guidance, hard work and diligent follow-through that convert a difficult search into a completed purchase.

Wonderful service from Sebastian. He found me a wonderful property which ticked all my boxes. More than I could have hoped for! He kept me informed throughout the process, sending me videos of the properties he inspected and prepared comprehensive reports into serious contenders. He also negotiated a very good purchase price for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Sebastian for a property search or a purchase negotiation. He takes the stress out of it all. Thanks Sebastian!

Seb was incredible to work with throughout my home buying journey. His expertise made the whole process so much more seamless, from identifying promising options & helping navigate valuations and discussions with agents, to his communication and support in explaining every detail and answering every small question I had as a first home buyer. Would highly recommend his services to support any home buyer with the value gained in experience, property value and time saving definitely worth the investment.

If you’re currently house hunting, or have been for a while and are feeling stuck, we can’t recommend Sebastian and Rhiannan highly enough. We started our search on our own - spending several months going to inspections, attending auctions and making a few offers that didn’t succeed. It was draining and we weren’t sure if we were approaching it the right way or if we were missing something. At that point we decided to engage Sebastian and Rhiannan and the difference was like night and day. From the beginning, they took the time to understand exactly what we wanted in a home, both for our lifestyle now and for the future. They helped us sharpen our thinking, focus on the right suburbs and properties and avoid wasting time on homes that looked good on paper but weren’t the right fit. Throughout the process, they brought a huge amount of insight - on value, future growth, renovation potential, on the less visible things you might not pick up when buying on your own. When it came time to negotiate, they executed with real precision and calmness. We ended up buying a property that we genuinely believe (and still believe) is an amazing deal, in a market where that’s not easy to do. Looking back, we wish we’d engaged them sooner - it would have saved us months of uncertainty and stress. If you’re reading this and wondering whether to take the step of hiring a buyer’s agent, and whether Sebastian and Rhiannan are the right choice - we can say from experience that they absolutely are. They made what can be an overwhelming process feel clear, strategic and ultimately very successful for us.

Seb helped us identify a fantastic opportunity on a house that was actually above our budget range. Through his advice and support, we successfully purchased a great home in a bluechip street that ultimately was bought for less than the fair value of the property (Seb will explain this when you engage with him). Beyond finding us this stellar opportunity, Seb is proactive in both his search and communication. He helped us identify what mattered most to us in a home and talked us through the negotiation strategies throughout the acquisition. I highly recommend Seb and team for your next house purchase.

Seb was the ultimate professional in assisting us with buying a house in this very challenging market. From Day 1 he understood our brief extremely well and was always very generous with his time to answer any questions we had. Seb's communication skills and knowledge of the market were second to none. We felt comfortable throughout the entire process and when the time was right, we were able to move very quickly and secure our home. There is no way we would of been able to buy our house without your assistance. Thanks again!

I had a great experience working with Seb. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about the property market. He understood my brief well and helped me consider opportunities which I might have missed out on otherwise. Seb was really responsive and answered all my questions with patience. He provided the right level of guidance and gave me the confidence to proceed with my purchase. I'd highly recommend Seb and his team to anyone considering partnering with a buyer's agent.

We got in touch with Richie at Hunter James through a recommendation as we were struggling to make traction in our property search. The whole process was extremely professional throughout, we are new to the Australian market and found the current market with the low supply and changing expectations quite difficult to navigate. Richie was great at guiding us through each potential house option as well as bidding processes. We went on a bit of a journey ourselves to discover what we really wanted, what we could (or couldn't) afford, and in the end Richie and Seb negotiated a good deal for an ideal property for us in our ideal location. It went down to the wire at auction and I genuinely believe they probably saved us between $50 and $100k due to their negotiation skills at the auction. As mentioned above, the team were highly professional, hard working, patient and knowledgeable about the current market, alongside being excellent negotiatiors. We highly recommend them to make your buying journey 100 times smoother, especially in such unpredictable markets.
