About James Colyvan
5 years experience
Energetic, enthusiastic and endlessly goal driven, James Colyvan’s approach to marketing and selling real estate hits the sweet spot between youthful energy and the expertise of experience. Highly competitive by nature, many of James’s early years were spent on the football field…until he took the opportunity to step into the fast-paced world of real-estate and start channelling his competitive drive into achieving his professional goals.
Prepared to work harder, longer, smarter and faster in pursuit of a beyond-expectation selling price for his clients, James’s career is grounded in a tenacious approach and a winning attitude. In James’s world, no property goes to the market unprepared or under-presented, no potential buyer goes unheard or uncontacted, and no dollar is left behind at the end of a hard-driving negotiation. Committed to maximising the value in every property he markets, James is as keen to welcome buyers to their first inspection, as he is to welcome their final offer around the negotiating table.
But this energy and tenacity belies the measured and expert approach, James brings to every sale. Naturally quick of mind and widely engaged in the local area, James works hard to access the best statistical and anecdotal research - bringing together up-to-the-minute statistics, his own observations and the opinions of a trusted network of on-the-ground industry experts. The result is high-level expertise that allows James to provide both a big-picture context and a local comparison to help his vendors understand, and maximise the value in their property.
It’s no surprise then that James’s out of work life is both high-energy and well-utilised. Still passionate about football and strongly engaged with his local team, James stays true to his early interests …and is a regular at post-match clubhouse de-briefs at his old-school St Bede’s Mentone football club. For James, every day is an opportunity to channel his energy into a great result – whether that’s in pursuit of a record-breaking selling price for his vendors …or the sports (among them skiing, golf and even tennis), that he’s taking up to fill the AFL-sized hole in his heart!
