James was very good to talk to and answered all my questions, putting me at ease. He was very supportive throughout the whole process.
Who is James Alexander?
You may have seen James around driving his yellow Jeep.
If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting James, you'll quickly understand what separates James from others.
His charisma, enthusiasm, quick wit and upbeat nature are a winning combination. Born in the East of London, you could say it’s in his DNA.
James has been in sales his entire life, for over 33 years, since he was 15 in fact and he’s very good at it. His real estate career began back in 2007 in the face of a recession. Arguably the hardest time to start a career in real estate. On reflection, he says, "It was the best time to start. You had to be tenacious, innovative and think outside the square”
It's that positive can-do attitude that made him rise to become one of the top agents in Bream Bay over his 7-year tenure (2007 - 2014).
In 2014, lured by the mountain biking explosion, he moved to action-packed Rotorua and started all over again. Within 5 years he again became one of the top agents in Town and was awarded top salesperson for Ray White Rotorua, along with other awards for community involvement and the prestigious "Elite" badge only a select few in the Ray White Group internationally achieve.
James has incredible ability to connect and engage with all walks of life. His down to earth manner is his trademark.
James is also a vibrant Auctioneer. It's his passion, and it shows. James thrives on the pressure to perform and he delivers; renowned in the area for setting record street prices time after time.
If you’re looking for an experienced salesperson that walks the talk, then watch how he works. View his videos to see how he presents someone’s most valuable asset in a way like no other, and observe one of his Auctions, in person or online, see how he does it with your own eyes.
Backed a brand with over 115 years of experience. James’ infectious energy, humble nature, experience and expertise is an unbeatable combination.
If you want the best in the business, call James. You'll be glad you did. 021 878 178

We found James an absolute pleasure to buy 9 Wai Place OTP through. He is so professional even when he showed us through for the final inspection checking things making sure we were 100% happy which we are can’t get any better than James thank you Len & Judy.
James did an amazing job with the marketing and listing and closing the deal
Very motivated and professional, easy to deal with and lots of fun as well. Awesome result in a short period of time.
We chose James who we had a previous contact with a few years ago. He put us at ease with the process of selling the house and explained it in a very positive and friendly manner. He brought the whole team around to view the house for their feedback as to what they each thought the value of the house was. While our house was built to what we wanted, ie a three bed one bathroom brick and tile house, and not a four bedroom two bathroom, he acknowledged a point of difference being our tropical garden. While it didn't sell at auction he promoted it in excellent fashion through the selling process to a successful conclusion. We couldn't have wished for more. Top marks for a top guy.
Great to deal with, great sense of humour
James went out of his way to provide us the best possible property purchase experience. He was there to help with some build quality issues after the documents were signed. He didn’t have to but he did. That’s the mark of a true professional. We would most definitely recommend James to anybody looking for a real estate sales person with integrity. Well done James.
He has been pleasant and responsive throughout and was quickly successful in securing a buyer for my section.
Genuine good guy and got the sale for us in a good time, albeit for a lower price than we wanted (due to the market) but he managed the process well.
James worked hard to close the deal and his after sales service, when we had an issue, was exceptional .
Good to deal with and helpful
James was very friendly professional and understanding.
Through a challenging market period James remained positive and provided weekly updates. We finished with 2 competing offers which was well handled by James. We obtained a satisfactory price and felt well served by James and Ashleigh. We have sold many properties over the years and would say we were well served.
Great service
The video James and Ashleigh did for advertising was so unique friends all over commented on it
James came through on his promise to get our house sold in six weeks, he followed up with potential buyers and got the job done, he was really pleasant to deal with, marketing was excellent.
James made the selling process smooth and easy. Communication was great. His creative marketing skills proved very successful.
James is the perfect blend of professional and personal. He is a gifted sales man who takes the time to truly hear your needs and do his best to make it happen.
Great guy, does his job well
James sold my beautiful property for me. It is a special place and reluctant to sell but decided to try the market with James. He worked relentlessly to achieve the best outcome possible in the current market.
Friendly, with a warm and easy personality to talk to ..highly recommended by friends who had listed previously with him. Also had attended an earlier open home listed by James who had bothered to find out our thoughts on the property with a quick chat when we were leaving. This was followed up later with an email too. all expectations met and exceeded.
Excellent workmanship, great sense of humour, reliable and efficient. A classy and professional businessman.
He was very pleasant and helpful
A breath of fresh. He has excellent communication skills, patient caring will go the extra mile he is also very innovated and thinks outside of the square. A pleasure to deal with.

James was very helpful and professional through the whole process resulting in a successful auction. He went the extra mile for us
James made it so easy & seamless After having looked on line at various properties for sale around the Marsden Cove Marina area I contacted you on the 7th October 2021 to get more information on the Barbados Way property listed, I was immediately impressed with your easygoing professionalism, because of the ongoing country “lockdown" preventing me from physically inspecting the property I was totally reliant on you, James you made it so easy & seamless from taking me on a virtual “FaceTime” tour of the interior, exterior and me being able to have you point the camera any which way I wanted to have a closer look. As the auction was 20 days after my initial enquiry you advised me to watch an online Zoom auction a week prior to get the feel of an auction void of the excitement generated by a crowded auction room so that I knew beforehand what to expect on my day. On the 27th October I was fortunate to win the auction totally reliant on what I was seeing and hearing on my computer screen. Remembering I still hadn’t physically inspected my new home, so when I arrived with my furniture trucking company you took me on a tour and I couldn’t of been more happier and satisfied that the property was just perfect for me! So James Alexander thank you for your personal professional service. Everything went smoothly and you kept me informed all the way through which could of been a daunting experience in these unusual times our country is experiencing these past two years.
Very easy and agent went above and beyond to help us as we where unable to see the property due to covid lockdown and boarder restrictions.
The entire marketing process was professional and enjoyable. James has thanked me for turning lights on, staging drinks on ice etc.. so it was a fun team effort as well. If you have looked at the after sales video you will see that the team work is solid, genuine and inspiring. The videos James does are gold.
James worked well with us. It was a difficult property to market. He did amazing
We chose James because his marketing style is the best I've seen in the industry. Turns out he works extremely hard to deliver results too.
We chose to work with James after seeing the amazing videos he creates when selling properties. We knew this would be ideal for selling our home during the current Covid-19 restrictions in NZ. James and his team created the most amazing, memorable video to capture the rural, family vibe of our home. We were extremely happy with the outcome of the video and advertisement. James was very approachable, friendly and professional throughout the whole selling process and made our first home sale very easy. We really appreciate all the hard work he put in to selling our home.
James was brilliant. Very aware it was my last move. Fantastic video.
It was a very pleasant experience and great to meet James
Knowledgeable competent friendly
Very professional and did a good job. Just leave him to do his job. He will get the results
The whole process went very smoothly.
James as always was not only professional and very thorough, he was also fun and made selling the house fun. He created marketing that was more interesting than anything I have ever seen, which was specific to our property’s character. We weren’t just another Number. We will use James again. We sort him out after buying another property from him and he was great. Very focused on getting us a sale and a good price. Thank you James. I Highly recommend James to everyone. Till next time James. See you then.

Professional, honest and has excellent market knowledge. A genuine good guy.
James Alexander in Waipu was excellent. Professional, coaching, proactive - he brought innovative ideas to the marketing and stirred up a storm of an auction following a really solid pre-auction offer. It was really evident that James was working hard to secure best price for the vendors but we could see real care and courtesy going in to the engagement with prospective buyers. James ticked all the boxes.
Enthusiastic, honest. I realise he was working for the vendor, but we ended up with a price both were happy with.
We found James' communications first class. He was well prepared in every aspect and delivered on all of his commitments.
James was professional, polite and totally honest in his dealings with me I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to sell their home in the Ruakaka area.

We received excellent customer service, a really good, on to it real estate agent and a quick sale!
A great salesman who had everything at his fingertips, a very good communicator.
James was very up front in his estimation of our property. He was great at communicating and keeping us in the loop. Ultimately, James got us a great price for our property in Rotorua.
Great service, very helpful.
James was the third real estate agent I met . I was very nervous about the process of selling my house and wanted someone who understood my house and its potential. On first meeting James was awesome , he was very supportive of my needs and kept the process really transparent and positive. He provided me with great options in selling and did not push me into making any decisions. He was very organised providing me with up-to-date information that was really helpful in deciding on my selling approach. The open homes were well run and he took every opportunity to ensure people viewed the house. A really nice person who I felt wanted the best for me and I felt really supported in the process.
Always very helpful, answers quickly to emails, texts or calls. Friendly and respectful.
James is s very approachable, professional agent! A genuine nice guy to deal with.
If you require an honest, forthright agent with a terrific personality to sell your house, choose James Alexander. The time he spent advising us was beyond our expectations. My house was sold within 10 days. He even found me another house within a week. Thank you very much. James.
"One recognises a professional by their performance. In this James is easy to recognise. With the strict conditions we negotiated on the sale of our property he planned and executed the sales process in a fast and well communicated way. Every step was done with attention to detail from seeing the value of the property, showcasing this, pitching it to the right people and right through to getting the offers on the table. Not just the joy of a good sale but also of watching a job professionally executed."
“I Have really enjoyed getting to know James and have found his professionalism, attention to detail and great communication skills to be a real breath of fresh air. He made the sale of my property an easy, fuss-free, process and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. In fact I already have!”
After a number of open homes and failed vendor/real estate agent negotiations, we've finally met James! We found him very sincere and 'person centered'. As first home buyers, my partner and I felt we were rushed to meet deadlines or raise a higher price against other offers (by other agents). Some were more of a 'dealer' - fortunately, James was very approachable and transparent. Talking to him feels like we are actually buying our first home (which is really exciting) rather than doing a business transaction which is impersonal and rudimentary.
James sold my tenanted property in Rotorua by negotiation and without a marketing campaign by working through his list of potential buyers and undertaking a few cold calls to people he believed would be interested in the property. Over a long period of negotiation and with hard work and persistence from James, the buyer and I agreed on the deal. James is a credit to the real estate profession and has my recommendation.
I recently purchased a house that James was selling. On first meeting he was very approachable. As a first home buyer I didn’t know anything about buying a house (even how to make an offer). James helped guide me though this whole process. His friendliness, helpfulness and availability made the buying process easier. I will recommend James to all buyers and purchasers.
I would like to commend James Alexander for his professionalism, and exceptional marketing in the quick sale of my Mum’s estate. He communicated well over the whole process, taking whatever time was required in answering our questions, and keeping us well informed of the progress and interest that was generated. James gave excellent advice in how best to market the property to give the best advertising coverage and presentation. The results were really pleasing to us. I would thoroughly recommend James to anyone as an agent that will act in your best interests in achieving a satisfactory result in the sale of your property.
From the moment we met James we felt we could trust his genuine, friendly nature. He was open and honest about our property and showed imagination and integrity with his marketing plan. During the negotiation stage he was efficient and business-like culminating in a successful sale. We were very happy with the outcome, turning what can sometimes be an anxious situation into a rewarding experience. You can trust James to do this for you too.

James was honest and authentic in his dealings and extremely likeable.
