Now a Question of Balance

Twenty+ Ratings, Thirty Visits
We rated and visited 20 plus on market homes in the last 7 days (see below) – plus a handful of off-markets (not listed publicly, but available to clients). The response to the public ratings continues to grow-and that’s affirming. Why? Because the work matters. Not the likes. The work.

E.O.I.s are a Top End disaster

Sellers — James Buy-Sell Advocates: 1-2-3
1. Reality Check
Multi-agent price read, comps, and risk map. No spin before an EOI.
2. Quiet Test (7–14 days)
Controlled off-market campaign to gather real buyer data—no public damage.
3. Execute With Clarity
Sell privately at the right number or go public with a plan, not a hope.

Prices have improved, but not exploded.

Sellers who price correctly are attracting real interest.

Today’s headline clearance rate (55%) is misleading without context.

Properties that attracted at least one bidder had a 75% chance of selling.
