James Private Client Briefings contain far greater and more client-specific detail than what you see below and are available for full service James Search and Negotiate clients throughout Melbourne.
Contact us: For a private, confidential and no obligation discussion on what is really happening in your street, precinct and suburb from a buyer’s perspective, contact Architect Adam on 0413 318 079 or Gina on (+613) 9804 3133 or 0457 835 255 or Mal on 0408 107 988 from James Buyer Advocates.
Alternatively if you see us at an open for inspection or an auction please feel free to come over and say hello – perhaps we could send you a buyer rating, a result or simply open diaries and work out a time to sit down and talk about the market, values, negotiation, alternative homes or your needs from a buyer’s perspective.
For the record each of us is involved in 2 to 3 homes, around 20 inspections and attending/assisting/bidding on up to 4 auctions on a weekly basis – all in that specialist $M+ price range.

PORT MELBOURNE, 18 Hobsons Bay Pde, David Lack (Biggin Scott): Passed in, $1,600,000, no bidders
Biggest Sale: ALBERT PARK, 148 Beaconsfield Pde
David Wood (Hocking Stuart); Under Hammer, $3,010,000 - 4 Bidders "A strong crowd converged under the hot Melbourne midday sun to see if this beachside property would find a new owner. Despite being sold with no chattels, which could mean a house stripped bare by settlement, there was genuine interest in this home. It was just like being at the Australian Open as bids were thrown fast and furious and auctioneer David Wood did well to keep pace with where the bidding was at. Even with the property declared on the market at $2,905,000, there was still a number of bids to be placed and phone calls to be made, before the property was bought under the hammer for $3,010,000." (Debbie McTaggart)
Biggest Pass In: PORT MELBOURNE, 18 Hobsons Bay Pde
David Lack (Biggin & Scott); Passed In: $1,600,000 - 0 Bidders "The assembled group of 60, all of whom took shelter in the shade, stood patiently as they waited for the auction to get underway. An “absolute pearler” situated in one of the best locations money can buy were the words of auctioneer David Lack as he described the property on offer. Mr Lack opened with a vendor bid of $1,600,000 and sought rises of $25,000. With a calm and clear voice, Mr Lack did his utmost to create a competition but with all in attendance standing as spectators, the property was passed in. " (Kate Agnoleto)
