Drawing on a background in property and earlier experience as an Intelligence Analyst in the Australian Army, James brings a disciplined, analytical approach to strategy, research and risk to his role as Property Investment Advisor at Mercer & Cooper.

James works with clients to understand where they are now and where they want to be, then builds a clear investment strategy to help them get there. He sees property investment as being about much more than simply finding the right property. Each client needs a plan that makes sense for their own situation, gives them confidence in the decisions they are making and supports the longer-term goals they are working towards.

James works closely with clients throughout that process, and counts seeing each client’s strategy come together as one of the most rewarding parts of his role. He enjoys taking something that can initially feel complicated or overwhelming and making it clearer, more structured and easier to understand.

Above all, James wants every client he works with to feel supported, informed and confident in the plan they have built together.
