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.

UNDER CONTRACT
Charming and delightful are two words that accurately describe this wholesome home in the country.
Located not far from Waipu Village on a sealed country back road, this pretty property presents stand out sentiments from the past. From the very first moment you roll through its central drive, passing beautiful mature trees, you feel like you've arrived!
As you're greeted by the gracious residence, it feels like coming home. You're taken back to happy memories with our elders, times of freedom and discovery as a child. Climbing trees, picking fruit, running around the garden. This property commands a presence that will grip you.
Inside, the native timber boards have been polished, the country kitchen oozes yesteryear charm, yet with modern function. The living area is sunny and open, French Doors spilling out onto sunny covered verandas.
Outside in the courtyard, bird life is abundant, trees lush, your only neighbour the farm that surrounds you. If you like a good project then the garage and workshop space will excite you. There's even a spare room attached and shower and toilet (Not consented). Handy when you get back from the beach from a surf or after a stint in the garden. In fact what a thing to explore the possibilities of creating an Air BnB guest house.
Here, you really won't want to go anywhere. Your property is your escape, an escape to a wholesome way of life like it used to be, a haven. If you have been longing for change, to get back down to earth, back to reality, then this just may be your calling. A gorgeous property that simply must be seen.
