James Group gives Auckland’s real estate market a new lease of life.
Specialising in the sale and leasing of commercial and industrial properties, we’re backed by strong market knowledge, a collaborative team culture, and a commitment to doing what’s best for our clients.
The idea was simple: create a modern, people-focused alternative to traditional commercial and industrial real estate.
That was just the beginning of an exciting story that keeps getting better.
2012
At the age of 23, Blair founded James Group, following in his family’s footsteps. His mum and dad, Jenny and Warwick, spent over 30 years in the property sector. Blair, however, wanted to put his own spin on the industry, recognising a need for a more transparent and personal approach.
2013 - 2015
At a time when the property market was dominated by “old boys clubs”, James Group introduced a fresh perspective. Blair began building a team of property experts with aligned values and big objectives, bringing new energy, knowledge, expertise and technology into the mix. The South Auckland industrial team was founded.
2016
A remarkable year-on-year growth rate of over 311% for three consecutive years saw James Group win the accolade of the Deloitte Fast50 26th fastest growing company in New Zealand.
2017 - 2021
James Group expanded its presence, venturing into the West and city fringe markets. We relocated to Manukau Road in Epsom, grew to a team of 30, and ventured into property management.
2022
After years spent fostering lifelong business relationships, it was time to shift premises and target markets – while not forgetting our roots. The property management arm was sold upon the realisation that it was a disruption to the business’s core expertise.
Today
With over 2500 sales and lease transactions under our belt, we’ve pivoted back to specialising in transactional real estate – our bread and butter. We couldn’t do it without a team that truly values collaboration, efficiency and a client-first mindset. As we continue to partner with clients who share our ambition, we can’t wait to see what’s around the corner.
We offer an unrivalled level of service, founded on the principles of integrity, efficiency, and valued business relationships. Ours is an enterprise where clients do matter and strong relationships are fostered.
We’re a business that feels like home to our employees and our clients. While we’re conscious of the salesperson stereotypes passed down through the ages, things are different here. We’re with you in the trenches when times are tough, and we’re shouting the champagne when things go your way.
We know the work must come before the play, and our hands-on, strategic approach is how we bring your success to the surface.
