Client Testimonials

I met James after he sold the house next door. I was impressed with his easy manner and candour. He regularly kept in contact with me, but not excessively so. We considered selling twice, and each time James and his team put together a professional plan. We decided to go with the Ballard team, headed by James, and I can't say enough about how professional and available the team was. Every question about rationale, or the plan, and every problem was attended to quickly and efficiently. James always returns a phone call. Without hesitation, I commend James Ball and the Ballard team and recommend their services. Read More

I had a great experience selling my property with Brooke. Initially we were expecting a regular sale, including good interest and open house appointments, but faced many changes and restrictions due to the COVID-19 virus.

Brooke stayed on top of the restrictions, and updated me as we went.

In the end, Brooke's professional manner and negotiation skills for both myself as the vendor and the buyer I believe is what made all the difference in selling the property to satisfy both parties.

Brooke was pro-active in sealing the deal! Read More

I first met James in February, when I attended an OFI in Waverley. At that time I was in the process of interviewing several local agents in readiness for putting my home of 36 years ( which I’d purchased directly from the owner, ie no real estate agent involvement!) on the market. Of the 4 agents interviewed, James struck me as the most knowledgeable, trustworthy and honest. Interestingly, he was the one who gave us the lowest price range, but my gut feeling was to go with someone who I felt would under-promise and then over-.deliver. This is exactly what he did!

I would like to acknowledge and thank not only James, but his team members Shane, Alexandra and Sarah who advised me, gave helpful suggestions and guided me in all the aspects involved in preparing my home for sale. This included painting the interior, styling and minor repairs, and their recommended painter, stylist and handyman exceeded all my expectations and were wonderful to work with also. Thank you all for responding to phone calls and queries so promptly, something I really appreciated.

Even though I have only just exchanged contracts and have yet to settle, at this point I would not hesitate to recommend James Ball and his team to any sellers hoping for a trouble-free and successful outcome, as my expectations were exceeded at every level. Thank you all, and you are terrific! Read More
