We could not speak more highly of Mr. Grumley, whose service was beyond anything we could have expected. Had it not been for his services, presence, availability and constant efforts, the transaction would most probably not have taken place at all. We bought our property sight unseen, from 10,000Km away, without having ever have set foot in Malta before. It is our dealing with Mr. Grumley that gave us the resolve to go ahead with our purchase and took out all the stress from the transaction. Retrospectively it is one of the greatest decisions we have ever made. We are grateful for Mr. Grumley's performance - and by extent, Sotheby’s - and his help from start to finish and we could go on as to why but instead we shall say only this: when comes the time to acquire another property in Malta we will look for only one real estate agent - Mr. James Grumley.

Christian, Gauffre

It was indeed a pleasure having James as my real estate agent to instruct with the sale of my property in Cospicua, Malta. From the beginning James was prompt to reply to my initial communication during my  enquiry process . There are indeed many agents in Malta, and from that point on i knew James would be a front runner in his willingness to be considered amongst the other big players in the market. Our first meeting where he came to view the house went extremely well, with his genuine likeable and charming character,  he struck the perfect balance of showing professionalism along with friendliness towards myself as a client.  He was complimentary on the viewing and showed such enthusiasm for the house and even said  at that point "I will sell this house for you," of which he clearly did. His valuation was spot on with other agents and in total I used five agents to market my property. During this time James excelled way above the competion, without appearimg agressive in his sales technique, which is something which works well with me, but still managed to keep focused and proactive in his approach. He communicated well throughout and updated me accordingly and how the market was changing rapidly which it was, and we price adjusted according to the changes to ensure we got viewings through the door. He was easy to commincate with via email and phone and always responded quickly.  

Im sure behind the scenes with any sales there were hectic times especially dealing with an international and local market, but from my side everything was made to feel calm and efficient and i had total confidence in him.

This out of all years i imagine has been one of the most difficult years for securing sales especially in a specialised market which doesn't always attract your every day client or house purchaser, and also with a nervous market and rapidly changing values, but at the end of the day and through his hard work and negotiating skills it was James who secured the sale, and i was more than delighted and happy to have been his client to achieve this.  I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done, and he made the whole process a sincere pleasure.

He is indeed an asset to your company, and i certainly would not hesitate to use his kind services again or recommend him in the future.

Thank you to everyone involved
