Born and raised in the Adelaide Hills, James brings a bright, down-to-earth energy to real estate—paired with a Bachelor of Business (Real Estate Practice) that gives him a strong foundation in sales, marketing, finance, and negotiation.

A former national-level swimmer, James spent over a decade mastering the discipline of hard work—an experience that shaped his approach to property. After starting with Nitschke as a sales cadet, he quickly progressed to become a leading agent in the Adelaide Hills within just 18 months, a milestone he credits to his drive to listen, learn, and think differently.

Clients often describe James as enthusiastic, professional, and an exceptional communicator—equally comfortable talking with first-home buyers as he is with seasoned investors. With a genuine passion for helping people, he sees real estate as the perfect intersection of property, community, and conversation.

Whether he’s on the field playing football for the Hahndorf Football Club or out visiting one of the Hills’ many golf courses, James is deeply connected to the area and its people. He’s proud to help locals buy and sell in a region that means so much to him—and loves sharing in the common thread that unites so many: a love for the Hills and the lifestyle it offers.
