Managing Director
Visionary. Results-Driven. Client-Focused.

With over a decade of hands-on experience across the property spectrum, from residential property and strata management to development and building operations. James blends strategic foresight with operational precision to deliver outstanding results for clients across NSW.
James began his career as an Aeronautical Engineer with Qantas, where he developed the technical discipline and attention to detail that still shape his work today. His transition into property through a leading British firm specialising in Home Building Warranty ignited a passion for the industry that has only grown stronger with time.
Recognised for his sharp negotiation skills, people-first mindset, and ability to navigate complex property challenges, James built M1 Properties with a clear vision: to offer intelligent, client-centric property solutions backed by integrity, innovation, and care. Under his leadership, the firm has rapidly earned a reputation for excellence, transparency, and long-term value creation.

Beyond his technical and managerial expertise, what truly sets James apart is his belief that property is personal. He treats every client and project with tailored attention, striving not just for efficient outcomes, but exceptional experiences.
As M1 Properties continues its growth trajectory, James remains at the helm, mentoring future leaders, strengthening relationships, and shaping the future of property management with clarity, care, and confidence.
