James Davidson

Introduction
With over 18 years in the property industry, I've built a career defined by trust, high achievement, and lasting client relationships. Having known Grant Bates as both a friend and colleague for many years, I'm excited to join Grant J Bates Property—a brokerage that reflects a client-centred, modern approach to estate agency.

Expertise
My background spans the UK's most successful corporate estate agencies, where I've handled client needs at all stages of the sales process and across diverse price ranges. I've worked in high-demand London areas, excelling in negotiations and client care.

A large share of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, reflecting the trust I've earned. My results are driven by focused strategies and a dedication to client satisfaction. I'm committed to building genuine relationships and providing expert, tailored guidance—delivering a transparent experience that consistently exceeds expectations.

Highlights
I've consistently exceeded targets and set new records—from negotiator to valuer, head of department, and head of sales. In my first sales leadership role, I broke a 13-year record. As a valuer and department head, I doubled previous records for instructions and revenue in my first year. In my final years as a negotiator, I consistently ranked among the top three operators across London in a highly competitive field.

Presence
Today's market favours authentic connections and personal reputation over brand recognition. Joining Grant J Bates Property aligns with my belief in a people-first, modern approach.

Our reach extends beyond in-person interactions through a strong social media and multimedia strategy—video walkthroughs, behind-the-scenes content, market updates, and more—engaging clients where they are. This content-driven approach builds trust, boosts visibility, and fosters long-term relationships.
