Your advice on how to prepare the house for sale, run Open Homes, and achieve the best result was clear and concise. You explained how each step would be handled and helped at every point in the process.
While acknowledging we were working in a difficult market your confidence never wavered and a successful result demonstrated the strategy you devised was exactly right. Thank you for always being available with help and advice and for the sensitivity and kindness you showed at all times.
Because of the level of effort you made, the extreme good outcome of speedy sale and satisfactory price was well deserved.
I know other clients will be receiving the same efficient service as you continue your successful career."
Kay Mills
"I wish to thank you for the ethical way in which you achieved a sale for my father Ron Norton. Clive and I encountered you at an open home and explained that he needed time to consider his alternatives now that he is alone. You managed to do a small marketing outline without being intrusive, while also giving him information which he needed to make his decision. He approached you a couple of months later and we were very impressed at the way in which you found a buyer, without the stress of open homes. You achieved a good price for him and were definitely working for the seller, not a sale at any price. We will contact you for any future sales."

"I write this letter to commend the excellent service provided by James Gao, to my family and me with the purchase of 20 Anaheim Blvd, Shamrock Park. During the course of the purchase of our new home, James was very approachable with our queries, and attended to all our questions. We visited the open home many times, each time with James putting no pressure on us while we were on site.
During the course of making our decision, James proved excellent and prompt support. At no time were we pressured into making decisions.
Once purchased, we commenced moving our belongings into our new house, prior to the settlement date, which James arranged for us. He was also very obliging to have the house available to us for moving items, before the settlement date. This was very important and critical for us, due to the large number of items we had.
On the day of our move, James greeted us with flowers. Subsequent to our move, James made frequent calls to make sure that everything was okay. He also attended to couple of issues we discovered after our move. In fact he paid for getting the issues resolved! We did not expect this.
With my pleasant experience in working with James, I highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to have the same."

"I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for all that you have done for me over the past 3 months or so, for listing and selling my property(at Pakuranga Rd) in a professional way. James’s marketing and sales corporate backgrounds are clear evidence in his successful role as the leading sales consultant. I had tried for some months to find a real estate agent to sell my property without success before consulting James to market my home. James proved to be both professional and motivated to obtain the best. I was impressed by the number of purchasers James brought through and the fact that he consistently kept me up to date with developments. James has many contacts in the local area and around, this was definitely a reason my property was sold within five weeks of going on the market. James also supplied many professional advertisements and signs within budget costs that other agents refused to do the same. I also would like to mention his lovely wife, Barbara, which is a very active and motivated lady, they both always kept a happy outlook and they are great people to be around with.
Their goals are to make the selling or purchasing of your home as stress free as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking at either buying or selling a property.
If you are looking for the best real estate professional you can trust and get great results in selling or buying your property, James Gao and Barbara are the ones."
