North East Property Was Born to bring change

I founded Northeast Property for one simple reason: I was tired of watching homeowners and landlords receive poor service from big High Street chains. After years of working in the industry, I saw the same problems again and again — rushed valuations, forgotten clients, unanswered calls, poor communication, and properties managed with little real care.

One moment in particular stuck with me: a landlord came to me frustrated after their agent hadn’t visited the property in over a year. Tenants were unhappy, issues were missed, and the owner felt completely in the dark. That was the day I realised the industry didn’t just need another estate agent — it needed a better one.

So in 2016, I decided to build something different.

Northeast Property was created to raise the standard to treat every home as if it were my own, communicate clearly, and deliver a level of service that High Street chains simply don’t offer.

No excuses.
No shortcuts.
Just genuine care, honesty, and a commitment to doing things properly.

That’s the foundation Northeast Property was built on and the reason clients choose us today.

Meet the Founder Cameron James

Born in New Zealand and raised in the North East, I founded Northeast Property in 2016 with one mission: to raise the standard of estate agency and deliver a service built on honesty, communication, and genuine care.

After years in the industry, I saw how often clients were let down by rushed service and poor management. Northeast Property was my answer, a more personal, modern, and detail-driven approach where every home is treated as if it were my own.

Today, I work closely with homeowners, buyers, landlords, and investors across the North East, combining deep local knowledge with premium marketing and clear, straightforward advice.

If you’re planning your next move or need guidance on the market, I’m here to help with a service that puts people first.

A Heartfelt Client Story Why Service Matters

One of the clients who has stayed closest to my heart is Sarah, a landlord who came to me overwhelmed, exhausted, and ready to give up on property altogether.

She had lived abroad for several years, leaving her terraced home in the hands of a large High Street chain. What she didn’t know — until it was too late — was that her tenant had stopped paying rent, the property hadn’t been inspected in months, and small issues had spiralled into major problems. She received a letter threatening legal action from the council, and that was the moment she broke down.

When Sarah first called me, she was in tears.
She told me, “I just need someone who actually cares… I can’t do this anymore.”

From that day, I made it my mission to take every bit of stress off her shoulders.

The first step was gaining control of the property, dealing with the arrears, and beginning the eviction process, something most agents avoid because of the time, patience, and expertise required. I handled every stage personally: the notices, the paperwork, the communication with solicitors, the updates to Sarah, and the reassurance she needed during some incredibly difficult months.

When the tenant finally moved out, I arranged repairs, safety checks, redecoration, and a full deep clean. What had once been a neglected problem property was suddenly a home again, one she could be proud of.

Sarah didn’t even have to set foot in the UK.

With the property restored, she decided it was time to sell. I guided her through every step: pricing, marketing, negotiations, and handling the full sales progression. We achieved above her expected price and completed smoothly — no stress, no complications, no surprises.

When we closed the sale, Sarah sent me a message I’ll never forget:

“You gave me my life back. I felt completely lost, and you handled everything with more care than I ever expected. Thank you for being the agent I needed, not the one I had.”

That message is still saved on my phone today.

This is exactly why I built Northeast Property
to be the one who steps in when others step back,
to treat each home like my own,
and to make sure no client ever feels alone or overwhelmed.

Helping Sarah wasn’t just a job. It was a reminder of the difference the right agent can make.

And that’s the standard I promise to every client who trusts me with their home.
