G'day Mal James. Off Markets $4M-$65M
I am a licensed buy and sell advocate and agent with 25 years of experience in Melbourne’s top-end market.
Over the years, I’ve been putting together 1500+ deals ranging from $4M to $65M, primarily in Inner, Eastern, and Bayside Melbourne.
Much of my work happens behind the scenes, often through collaboration with other selling agencies.
I focus on private inspections, off-market opportunities, and developing real strategies for both buyers and sellers. Many of the best homes don’t end up in flashy auctions, and I’m here to guide my clients through those discreet but significant opportunities, whether buying or selling or buying and selling.
I believe in the power of collaboration, shared values, and maintaining a respectful, timely, strategic approach. It works, and I’m here to make it work for you.

Morning Routine
Love getting out of bed most days, going for a swim in the bay or a walk in the mountains, some Tai Chi, a coffee and chat with my mate of 50 something years, check my grown up children haven’t sent me a request for more money or time before heading into …well it’s not a job, it’s a lifestyle…. heading into James Buy Sell and Shelter By The Bay.
