We are brokers ourselves and a broker-to-broker relationship has the potential to be a tricky one for obvious reasons. Not so with the James Hallam Real Estate team. They are a great bunch to work with and are always respectful of our client relationships. They have an impressively wide access to the market and acute specialist Property knowledge which helps us to provide a superior broker service to our own clients. What sets them apart is how incredibly generous and honest they are with their advice and time. An easy-going and likeable team, we choose to work in partnership with them because not only are they very good at what they do but they are incredibly nice individuals to work with.
