Building relationships is in James Hill’s blood – with decades spent honing the craft of building customer service through such industry sectors as insurance, time share apartments, exhibitions, and events.

James Hill brought his honed sales and leasing skills to Bayleys almost two decades ago joining the commercial and industrial division in 2006 - appreciating that building and managing client relationships would be the foundations for a long-term career starting in a city where reputation and credibility are everything.

Underpinning James Hill’s drive for delivering ultimate customer service are a set of fundamental business practices - including planning, meticulous time management, industry knowledge, wider appreciation of town planning and development dynamics, and dogged persistence.

“I’ve found that the more you put into developing business networks and growing a profile in the commercial property community, the more that comes out in terms of engineering successful sales and leases, not only throughout greater Auckland but around the country,” says James.

James’s commitment and tenacity to stick at the job until a successful outcome is achieved has certainly separated him from his competitors. In a tougher market and at times dealing with sensitive situations James ensures his clients are treated with the upmost respect and in a confidential manner. This is all backed by James continually being in the top 5–10% of all Bayleys agents across the county and #1 in the South Auckland office in 2023.
