James regular communication and attention to detail throughout the campaign was excellent.

His Sales Manager Alexandra was regularly updating us with the process and feedback.

We would definitely use the James Ball Team again and would not hesitate to recommend them. Read More

James recently sold our house in Coogee. He was always honest and straight forward not just telling us what we wanted to hear. Always returns a message or call within 5 minutes. Cool and calm and only calls if there is something good to report so a low stress sale. A very strong negotiator and can get his point across, maybe a little bossy. Highly recommend him for sales in Coogee, Maroubra or any suburb in the East. Excellent local knowledge. We will definitely use James, Clint and Ballard Property again.

We listed our property with Sam following a good 12 months of deciding whether or not to sell . In that time we met with a number of agents to get their views on the market & to see who we would entrust our property with & while there were many great agents we met, we decided to go with Sam as ultimately we felt we could work with him the best. Suffice to say his market knowledge, youthful hunger & long association with the area were other deciding characteristics also . Initially we leased our property through his agency & when we adjudged the time was right, we listed it with him even though he had moved to another agency in the interim. Throughout the whole process my wife & I were impressed with Sam's polished demeanour, courteousness, positivity & overall levels of communication. We had a 4 week intense auction campaign that generated a lot of interest & even though our property was passed in on auction day, Sam was able to negotiate upwards post auction such that we achieved what we felt was a very satisfactory result. I have no hesitation in recommending Sam to any vendor considering listing their property through him & his agency . Read More

Honest and open communication throughout the entire buying process. Read More

Worked really effectively as a team with conjunctional agent. Really great result. All involved did a really great job and have a very happy client. Read More

We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to James and his team. They were extremely professional and helpful throughout the process. Listening to their advice and suggestions made a significant difference as well as calming us through the sale. We will be recommending James and his team to all our friends and will definitely use them again in the future. It was a fantastic experience with them on our side. Read More

I was delighted to be put in touch with Sam. My journey started with me meeting with 3 agencies (Ballard incl.) and asking lots of questions. I found Sam to be someone I knew I could work with successfully. He was upfront, clear on his knowledge and was not afraid to answer those awkward questions. When it came to talking figures he communicated clearly with me and ensured I understood the current market and what I could expect. I find when dealing with property, whether buying or selling, it is never easy and to know that you have complete trust in your agent is imperative to this process. Sam was absolutely brilliant and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Read More

I would highly recommend James and his team to anyone wishing to sell a property. They have made it easy for us from the minute we began the process, assisting us along the way with anything we needed. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved their hugely positive energy and consistent communication. They are all lovely people and it has been a joy to work with them. I wish them every success, they deserve it. Read More

My wife and I were both very impressed in all dealings with James in the purchase of our property. His speed in responding, product knowledge and customer service were all above expectations. Overall, a great purchasing experience. Read More

We were very pleased to have James Ball conduct the negotiation between ourselves and the vendor.

James conducted himself in a forthright manner and truthfully presented the property and the vendor's position. This allowed a smooth negotiation which led to a successful sale and a happy deal for both vendor and purchaser alike.

I would have no hesitation in recommending James and Ballard Property. Read More

We have no hesitation, and are very happy to recommend James Ball and Ballard Property to you. Read More

Clint is a great agent and found it easy to talk to him and deal with him

The only issue we had was he was not communicating about the progress of the sale or negotiations as much as we wanted.

We were often left in the dark not knowing what was going on

It was also disopointing to see the details of the sale and the price was leaked to the neighbourhood which my son and daughter in law found embaressng when the neighbours came around and asked them Read More

We were fortunate to meet James at an open house. That particular property wasn't suitable for us, but James worked closely with us to find the perfect house- he always made himself available, followed through on requests and ultimately found the perfect home for us. His post-exchange support was just as good, which impressed us even more. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend James as an agent. Read More

Clint is a great agent. He is attentive and knows the market well. He did a great job and we will certainly use him again in the future. Read More

My immediate impression of Ballard Property was that I had encountered a professionalism in business, that was polished, succinct and effective in its approach to the marketing and strategy of selling my apartment.

The exceptional price that was achieved is a credit to the execution of a campaign strategy; utilising quality stying, premium photography, and an extensive Ballard database of investors that were awaiting an edge on securing premium properties.

To have the privilege of a Principal such as Clint Ballard, who is both genuine, and experienced, built confidence and ease from the very beginning, to the successful close of my exceptional result.

His ability to negotiate and build rapport with buyers, while guiding his team to encourage and organise potential buyers for a competitive auction, only demonstrates his wealth of experience in real estate.

Thoroughly impressed and highly recommended.

We were very pleased with the persistent approach by James. In a heated market that we were selling our property, James was very patient and informative as to the market movements etc. We were not full hearted about selling and it must have been difficult trying to achieve our expectations. James worked very closely with us throughout the stressful process until our expectations were met. I would happily recommend him and Shane (who works closely with James) to anyone looking for a professional agent that goes above and beyond to achieve client's high expectations. Read More

Clint's care of buyer and seller are exempterly. Read More

Clint is keen, determined, focused and knows his stuff. He is very easy to deal with, has a good back-up team and comes up with the results.

Can't expect more than that. Read More

We consulted a number of agents re the off market sale of our Kensington home. James came across as a professional in his field. Astute and hard working. Other agents told us that James was out of our area and did not possess the "local" knowledge and contacts - he proved them wrong on all counts. We found Ballards and McGrath two trustworthy R/E agents that truly worked for the seller. Read More

Great experience to deal with an agent who delivered what he promised! A nice change to finally meet a nice real estate agent in the current Sydney market.... and I hope to deal with him again in the future. Thanks James 👍🏾 Read More

What a pleasure this is for me after many years of countless altercations and less than memorable experiences with previous real estate agents, that I can take the honour and privilege of offering my thanks and appreciation to James.

First and foremost, was his commitment to the sale of our property. No matter what hour of the day it were, James was always available to take calls, answer questions, and even show the property privately to potential purchasers whenever suited them, even collecting them in his nice new car.

Secondly, was his manner, presentation and professionalism. This was without question, un-questionable.

Lastly, was the perfect execution and negotiation which got the sale over the line. We found the negotiation process extremely well managed, resulting in a great outcome for us.

We thank you very much. Read More

James Ball of Ballard Property recently assisted me with the purchase of a unit in Coogee. I found James to be very fair and honest in his negotiating, never failing to act in the interests of his client, the vendor, but recognising the realities and shortcomings (and great benefits too!) of the property being sold. He was always informative, provided responses to emailed questions within the hour and ultimately assisted with the Contract exchange after hours, in the circumstances of the vendor being overseas and on a completely different time zone. James was polite and professional throughout and I am happy to recommend him to vendors looking to sell in the areas in which James operates. Read More

We were very happy with James' work for us in the sale of our Rushcutters Bay unit. He was constantly in communication with us and despite the fact we only gave him a short window to run an off-market campaign, he was able to get a lot of prospective buyers through. Most importantly, we were very pleased with the sale price he achieved for us. Read More

James displayed a strong understanding of the marketplace and was very linked into what was happening .....in terms of prices , properties entering or about to enter the market and the impact they would have on our property.His wide base of contacts and drive and determination drove the whole campaign for us. James is always courteous a strong communicator with good negotiation skills.He achieve a strong price in under three weeks.James is very focus on the end game and strives to tick all the boxes for the vendor.

Both James and Shane are fantastic, confident and knowledgeable. They are excellent in their service and prompt in their responses, I would highly recommend them to any potential vendors. Read More

James helped us to sell our family unit in Coogee after the unit failed to sell with another agent. After having a poor experience with an "experienced" professional agent from the local area, James took the apartment on with an incredibly professional and enthusiastic campaign. James kept us informed through every stage of the sale, from calling after every open for inspection to informing us of the results of his follow up phone calls. The unit sold prior to auction for a price which far exceeded what the previous agent had managed to get. James was incredibly approachable and was willing to spend time and effort in meeting with us personally throughout the marketing campaign and made us feel like he was selling the property as if it was his own. We highly recommend James to anybody who is considering selling in the eastern suburbs. Read More
