If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting James, you'll quickly understand what separates James from others.
His charisma, enthusiasm, quick wit and upbeat nature are a winning combination. Born in the East of London, you could say it’s in his DNA.
James has been in sales his entire life, for over 27 years, since he was 15 in fact and he’s very good at it. His real estate career began back in 2007 in the face of a recession. Arguably the hardest time to start a career in real estate. On reflection, he says, "It was the best time to start. You had to be tenacious, innovative and think outside the square”
It's that positive can-do attitude that made him rise to become one of the top agents in Bream Bay over his 7-year tenure (2007 - 2014).
In 2014, lured by the mountain biking explosion, he moved to action-packed Rotorua and started all over again. Within 5 years he again became one of the top agents in Town and was awarded top salesperson for Ray White Rotorua, along with other awards for community involvement and the prestigious "Elite" badge only a select few in the Ray White Group internationally achieve.
James has incredible ability to connect and engage with all walks of life. His down to earth manner is his trademark.
James is also a vibrant Auctioneer. It's his passion, and it shows. James thrives on the pressure to perform and he delivers; renowned in the area for setting record street prices time after time.

An exemplary opportunity for multi-generational households and modern-day entertainers at this resort-style residence just minutes from the fabled Marsden Cove Marina and Ruakaka coast.
Set upon a level one-hectare site, this double-dwelling property plays host to a grand four-bedroom homestead accompanied by a near-new three-bedroom cottage, making it ideal for accommodating extended family, hosting regular guests and for those with aspirations of establishing a boutique BnB lodge.
The main homestead is striking, showcasing alpine-inspired interiors through a Fijian Kauri ceiling and impressive floor-to-ceiling schist double breasted open fireplace. Granite benchtops make an elegant statement in the kitchen complete with scullery and "chef" double oven, 5 burner hob. Multiple zones are offered for lounging, while dedicated areas for dining, study and reading ensure everyday living is pleasurable. Of the four bedrooms, two are appointed with an ensuite, while a family-sized bathroom, separate toilet, internal access garage, laundry and considered heating solutions are also found within. Memorable entertaining is assured outdoors, where you'll enjoy a taste of the tropics courtesy of the established palms, impeccable island-style cabana, a sunken fire-pit and the star of the show, a heated saltwater pool.
The property's 2nd three-bedroom home was completed only two years ago and comprises an open-plan living layout, an extra large internal access double garage, and a distinctive paved courtyard set within the landscaped gardens.
Soaking up absolute privacy, the sweeping section contains an established orchard, considerable on site parking and huge space for an additional barn, but if leisure on a larger scale is more attractive, then you could look to create your very own golf course.
This is the pinnacle of good living. It may be years before you discover another like it. Early inspection is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
