Transforming Home Buying Dreams into Reality

Purchased a beautiful apartment overlooking the bay.

I had never used a Buyers Advocate before Jim. I was looking for a premium apartment in Port Melbourne to live in. It was also an investment as I knew I was moving interstate for work. Jim somehow knew more what my needs were than I did. I purchased a beautiful apartment overlooking the bay. I could not be happier, thanks Jim.

Delighted and are well ahead of the game.

Jim was sourcing properties for my sister and me at the same time. I bought an off-market property and a week later my sister bought a unit. We both bought well below the asking price. Both of us spent the weekends in Jim’s car looking at properties. He was particularly thorough and by the time we bought knew the market extremely
well. We were both delighted and are well ahead of the game.

More than pleased with the service
and result.

I was teaching in Dubai at the time. I found Jim through the JMAC site. I tried other advocates however Jim was the most enthusiastic and followed me up diligently. We had many Zoom meetings and after approximately two to three months purchased a townhouse in the Southeastern suburbs of Melbourne. Jim did all the negotiating and we purchased before it got to auction. Jim was reliable and had a friendly manor which put me at ease. Was more than pleased with the service and result.
