Jamie is an exemplary real estate professional. Honest, transparent, highly knowledgeable and efficient. His attention to detail in presenting our home for sale was second to none. We have now been on both the “buy” and “sell” side of a transaction with Jamie and his team at Kay & Burton, and both experiences were superbly managed and executed. We are incredibly grateful clients.

Some years ago we had the sad task of selling my Mother's home of 55 years when she went into residential care. We were so impressed with the team at Kay and Burton Brighton that we had no reservation in choosing them as our agent when we were ready to sell our own home. We could not speak more highly of the hard work Jamie and the team has put into selling our home. Jamie was always reliable, professional and supportive. We were very happy with the price we received for our home.

After several interactions with other real estate agents who we found to be withholding & complacent in their dealings with us as buyers, Jamie was a breath of fresh air. We found Jamie to be enthusiastic, professional & open which refreshing. His knowledge of the subject property, local area & recent sales was outstanding. Jamie was prompt & responsive, went above and beyond in sourcing supplementary information & handled negotiations with professionalism and transparency. Highly recommend.

Seller of apartmentArmadale, VIC
James provided an excellent overall service. His team at Kay & Burton helped us to present the property beautifully. James' knowledge of the market and his strategy for selling proved to be spot. Evidence of this was that the property sold on the day of the first open for inspection above the high end of the range. We were very happy with James' service and the result.

Month ago James helped us to sell our house in Beaumaris.(EOI). Through whole process (which didn’t take long) he was extremely professional. We’ve been really impressed with his knowledge of the market and unique approach to sell our property, swift respond to any questions and concerns. Result- sold our place for price up to our expectations. We highly recommend James Driver for anyone seeking a dedicated and effective real estate agent.

Buyer of houseBeaumaris, VIC
We had a tight timeline to view a property and James obliged immediately to open the home privately to us. He was friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable and transparent about the home and the area. He knew we were serious buyers and began negotiations immediately. It was a 2 hour turnaround between the viewing and signing of the contract. Could not ask for better service! In the following week he guided us through our conveyancing obligations each step of the way. Highly recommend!

Just amazing. James couldn't have been better or more professional, nor more comfortably approachable. He helped navigate the complexities of the lead-up to the sale, and made great calls throughout. He helped put us in touch with excellent support people, dressing the home, legal and finance. We simply would not have had the success we achieved without his support and guidance.

James is an exceptional agent. Ethical, transparent and genuinely cares about his clients. He went over and above from start to finish: with his advice on preparing our property for sale, the updates he gave us after each open and his expert negotiation with the buyer. I felt reassured at every step and have very happily recommended him to friends. 10/10.

James went above and beyond - getting a deal done on Christmas day was not expected. Knew exactly what sort of buyer this would appeal to and identifying them early on in the sales process. While having great advice and strong opinions, he was also happy to accommodate requests. He helped co-ordinate related styling, trades and legal professionals to make the whole process seamless.

James guided us through the process with skill and confidence, navigating several challenges with calm assurance and exceptional communication. Most importantly, he delivered outstanding results at both ends of the transaction. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the outcome.

From our first meeting James was incredibly professional, supportive of my wishes and needs, always kind and respectful in his approach and very savvy as to the market at the time.

Jamie's work ethic is fantastic, illustrated by the fact that most of the important conversations in our sales process happened outside of business hours and on weekends. His availability and strong communication skills are a true testament to the level of commitment he has to act in the moment and get the best result possible. I have to commend Jamie for his tenacity and for being a pleasure to work with. Thankyou.

From the moment we met him, Jamie made the oftentimes daunting task of finding a home a pleasure. His knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to go 'above and beyond' made all the difference. From his calm presence at Open Houses, to following up on questions, ( and we had quite a few) he was tireless when it came to making sure that we were comfortable; every step of the way. I know that we will be happy for many years to come in our new home; Jamie helped make our dreams come true.

Buyer of unitCheltenham, VIC
Jamie was the vendor's agent of a property I purchased. Jamie was professional, warm and friendly. He promoted the property while not being pushy in anyway. I appeciated this approach as I believe a good property should basically sell itself. Jamie also answered any questions I had in a timely manner. This became essential in the days before the auction when I had some small queries about the contract and a few other aspects. I would recommend Jamie whether you are buying or selling a property.

Kay & Burton took on the challenge of selling my property in this difficult market. Not only did they conduct themselves in a professional manner but took the time to engage with my family and I about moving forward with the property on auction day. Kay & Burton exceeded the reserve price by an excessive amount and we were thrilled and the successful outcome!

Firstly, Jamie’s professional approach, and his very friendly easy manner is quite exceptional, having dealt with numerous real estate agents over years, this company and Jamie himself, stand out. He was informative all the way through the process, and immediately answered or returned calls. When I need to use a real estate agent again, Kay and Burton, and Jamie, will long remain as a first choice for me. Pleasure to go through a stressful process, that was made easy.
