Client Feedback

Great Team. James Burke was enthusiastic and provided a service beyond my expectations when selling my house. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
Vendor Review - Wood - Petersham
James worked very hard in a very professional manner.I would recommend him to any future contacts. I have been extremely satisfied with Callaghers since our first encounters in 2010.I am not familiar with this type of auction but it seemed to me that both James and the auctioneer on the day handled what could have been a tricky situation with only one bidder and managed to get pretty close to the valuation price.
Vendor Review - Verity - Balmain
James has been a wonderful agent. He is approachable, knowledgeable and always kept us in the loop during our marketing campaign. The real estate market took a turn during our preparation for sale - but James worked hard along with the team at Callagher to still secure us a sale at an excellent price. We highly recommend James!
Belinda & Shane - Annandale
James and the team exceeded expectations and really made the whole process seamless and stress free not to mention got a great result! Highly recommended. Thanks James
Michelle & Peter - Dulwich Hill
Having bought and sold a property with James I can vouch for his diligence and hard work, he followed things through and communicated very well. I highly recommend him and his team.
Sean & Heike - Leichhardt
James was upfront, honest and professional throughout our selling process. He communicated well and often and we found him easy to work with, especially when it came time for negotiations with potential buyers. We would recommend him to anyone wishing to sell.
Justin & Sarah - Annandale
Thank you James for assisting us in the sale of our latest place. You always get us the result we want regardless of the market, so we appreciate the hard work you put in. James has sold four properties for us in the last two years and we couldn't be happier with your service.
Marco & Danny - Wentworth Point
Very happy to have worked with James We sold our Sydney house after we'd moved interstate, meaning we were even more reliant on James throughout the sale process. James provided us with an honest evaluation on the property value upfront, coordinated all minor touch-ups & repairs required prior to the first open inspection, and kept us well informed throughout the sale process. We were clear in our requirement/expectations upfront and throughout the whole process we felt James worked hard in order to achieve the desired result. Very comfortable in recommending him to others.
Vendor Review - Geoffrey & Christine
James' excellent rapport, follow up and close liaison with potential buyers was the key ingredient in the more than 80 inspections resulting in 31 issued contracts, 11 registered bidders on the day with 5 genuine bidders pushing the sale price to a record for our type of Annandale property. James also has the advantage of an excellent sales and office team guided and headed by two principals ,the Giezekamp brothers, who are probably the best in the Inner West.
Keith & Susan - Annandale
James sold a friend’s house about twelve months ago and she had nothing but praise for James and the agency. I related to James from our first meeting, he was realistic with his assessment and suggested a few things to “show-case” the house and make the exterior just as attractive as the inside. I sold just as the market was cooling and James proved to be an outstanding salesman, but an even better negotiator. He got the best result for me on a very trying day. We even had a few laughs on the journey. Both vendor & buyer ended up happy and my beautiful home went to a lovely young family. I first meet the Callagher team four years ago and was impressed by their market knowledge, professional and relaxed attitude to selling and promotion. That it was a single-site family business (around since 1899) was the clincher for me.
Roslyn - Annandale
Could not possibly be happier with the service we received from James, and Callagher as a whole. Right from the moment we met James the level of professionalism and knowledge was apparent. My primary criteria was making the entire sale process as easy as possible, and it was. James introduced me to a "makeover expert" who readied the house for sale - inside and out. It looked great and it showed on the day. We finished up with over $250,000 over the price we had hoped for and were naturally thrilled. Choosing an agent is a difficult past of the process and I feel very lucky that we chose James and Callagher.
Bronwyn - Annandale
James has been very accommodating & quick to respond to queries. He has been very approachable and made us feel at ease. Thankyou!
Mehmet - Leichhardt
And approachable and friendly manner
Found him easy to communicate with and I would recommend him for any future sales
Well done James
Vendor Review - Frank
We would 100% recommend James Burke to anyone. His attention to detail and due diligence separates him from other agents. We have dealt with James on numerous occasions and his professionalism and character made this process an absolute pleasure every time.
James makes the selling process so seamless and easy. He is highly professional, was in constant communication with us and was always very approachable. He knows the Sydney market very well and went above and beyond to help us through the process.
Vendor Review - Effie & Peter
Excellent result in difficult market.
James recently handled the sale of our property at Forest Lodge. In the current challenging market, he managed the sale process very professionally enabling us to achieve a great result on auction day. James is very personable and immediately puts potential buyers at ease. Combined with his extensive local market knowledge, his tenacity, and his commitment to keeping us updated throughout the entire campaign, we are pleased to recommend James for your real estate needs.
Vendor Review - Jocelyn & Michael
Over the moon!!
Thanks James and the team at Callagher for an excellent experience throughout, and an outstanding result in the end. Five Star!!
Vendor Review - Christian & Marie
Professional agent with excellent communication skills.
Our experience with James was excellent. He is a highly personable, knowledgeable agent who conducted himself to the highest ethical standard and was well informed as to all aspects of the market and area. His communication throughout our campaign was consistent and he was highly motivated and engaged during the entire process. Would highly recommend.
Vendor Review - Suzanne
James is easy to talk with. Despite initially feeling we couldn't afford to buy, his encouragement got us there on auction day. Probably the most difficult time to sell in in 100 years.
Buyer Review - Matthew & Thushara - Summer Hill
It took me a number of months to find the right agent to sell my property. I met several and they did not come across as genuine or trustworthy. Selling your property is a very personal experience and you want to ensure that you select an agent who has the knowledge and expertise. From the moment I met James Burke I found him to be very professional, open and honest. As a result I felt comfortable to appoint him as my agent. I feel that James took all my feedback on board an addressed any concerns that I had along the way. The campaign was executed brilliantly and James worked hard all the way through.

Thank you James!
Vendor Review - Josie - Redfern
A Big thank you and job well done. From the DiNatale Family

David & James, we wanted to thank you both for the awesome result with the Auction last Saturday. It was the icing on the cake after a seamless hassle free campaign. Love all the energy you both put into the sale. Continuous up-dates, never second guessing our position with honest, genuine advise and feedback. You were both no doubt were the fit and perfect agents for our family. (Fitted in with our silly sense of humor)

Thank you for the laughs and always having our best interest at heart. This journey for our family was a tough one with loads of memories to walk away with. So happy it is going to a lovely young family who won’t be knocking it down and creating all their new memories just as we did. Mum & Dad would have been very proud to see how this All came to together.
Vendor Review - DiNatale Family - Concord West
James was the best agent to have for the sale of my house! His knowledge of the advertising and selling processes was excellent, and he gave good information and important advice. He's a supportive communicator by phone, email, and personal visits, making me feel that my interests were genuinely important to him. Also he is very punctual!
Vendor Review - Joan - Annandale
James is thorough in his research, easy to deal with, flexible and knowledgeable. He was able to extract a great result in circumstances that changed and the final result was way above expectations. Highly recommend
Vendor Review - Deb - Annandale
James Burke has helped us both sell and purchase properties in the past and has always been successful in reaching our desired result. He is very knowledgeable of the current sales trends and market behaviour and his professionalism is second to none. We enjoyed dealing with James and highly recommend him to anyone!
Vendor Review - Effie - Ashbury
We found James to be a trustworthy, professional and meticulous real estate agent. He handles the sale of our home with great attention to detail, worked with both us the vendor and the potential buyers with great care... and we sincerely felt we got a great price for our home. All of this in a market slow down has been amazing and we are truly grateful. Thank you James and the team at Callaghers
Vendor Review - Andy - Stanmore
My husband and i were very happy with James' service in selling our unit at St Leonards. From the word go he was always prompt, communicated with us regularly, advised us on the market movements and finalised the sale.
