A member of the O’Gorman & Partners team since February 2006, James jumped at the opportunity of joining the firm, attracted to the idea of working for the area’s most successful independent real estate agency. Now a director of the business, he understands all facets of the business as well as his client’s needs when buying, selling or managing their properties.
James is approachable and down-to-earth but he takes an exacting approach to achieving success. Right from the beginning, James makes sure appropriate algorithms are in place. He prices the property based on thorough research, the most suitable method of sale is chosen and he targets to both local and overseas buyers with precision. It’s an approach built on hard work and attention to detail, and it gets results.
James is a Licensed Real Estate Agent, Auctioneer, with a Property Economics Degree and a top performer at O’Gorman & Partners. He’s passionate about being part of a team of nimble and responsive agents. A former student at St Joseph’s College in Hunters Hill, James naturally enjoys playing rugby and is actively involved in the Mosman Rugby Club. In his spare time James is a keen sailor for the Manly Skiff Club and has won the Australian 16ft Skiff Championships in 2008 and 2009 and 18ft Skiff Mark Foy World Championships in 2018.
James and the team did an excellent job throughout our campaign. Even before listing they gave us a lot of guidance. They kept us updated, were honest and professional throughout. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our campaign.
Having dealt with several agents in the Lane Cove area, James was by far the most professional and straightforward in his sale of a property to me. He took the time to walk me through the process, went above and beyond to facilitate the purchase/sale, and was genuinely honest from the start. I certainly would recommend him for any dealings with vendors or buyers. Thank you kindly James.
James knowledge of the area/market is exceptional. We felt like we were dealing with a friend rather than an agent. He communicated with us every step of the way and was a pleasure to deal with. Come auction day, he justified the faith we had in him and O’Gorman Partners by getting a result that was far and above the other recent results in the building. It was a huge effort and we’re very thankful to James and the team.
James exceeded our expectations, he was extremely professional and trustworthy. The service levels from O’Gorman & Partners were exceptional, a huge advantage of this boutique agency. Highly recommend.
I would highly recommend James. He is a good communicator, available anytime, and continually updating you on the progress. He offered invaluable advice making the whole process go smoothly and stress-free.
I feel happy that I got the best result.
James Dorron and the team at O’Gorman and Partners have managed our investment property for many years and recently sold the property for us. They have done a wonderful job. He is very professional and highly recommend to anyone selling or renting their property. I would appoint them again with any property.
James and his team at O'Gorman & Partners did a wonderful job selling our home. He provided a detailed sales plan and followed through on that plan. We had total trust and faith in him and we felt at ease knowing he was on our side. Additionally, we appreciated having the whole OGP team on board as well, they provided constant updates so we knew what was going on during the sales process. I would highly recommend James and the team at O'Gorman & Partners Real Estate.
I can’t speak highly enough of James. As a first-time seller it was uncharted territory for me and easy to feel overwhelmed. James was great from start to finish. He was patient, answered all my questions, and clearly explained the process. His communication throughout was exceptional, regularly checking in, providing guidance on the market, the process and next steps.
And perhaps most importantly, it sold for an excellent price. I can’t be happier with the outcome!

The absolute best experience possible. We honestly cannot speak more highly of James and the team at O'Gorman and Partners.
From the very first conversation through to contract exchange, James was extremely personable, reassuring and authentic in his communication. We knew he had our best interest at heart, something that really sets him and his team apart in the industry.
This is the second time James has managed a sale for our family and we wouldn't look elsewhere. Thank you James!
His professionalism, knowledge, and honesty is second to none. As I am located interstate, communication was important to me- James organised and negotiated the entire sales process, along with minor renovations, seamlessly. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. Thank you James.
Thank you for the professional handling of mums house 56 Baringa Ave, Seaforth. Your patience and thoroughness throughout the sales process were impeccable and we’re delighted with the result and the way you went about the whole process. I would have no hesitation recommending James to any person requiring any real estate advice or employment to sell their property.
Vivien and I wanted to drop you a note of thanks with regard to the sale of our property in Cremorne.
As you know, we were very confident that James and yourself would do a great job for us.
The marketing campaign was targeted, highly focused and effective. At all times we found your attention to detail, plus your knowledge of the market and your persistence in following up with prospective buyers to be essential for achieving the right result.
We have no hesitation in recommending you, especially after achieving a premium over and above the property next door.

I knew I would achieve a very pleasing result at my recent sale of my property in Neutral Bay when I engaged James Dorron and his team to sell it. James has a great knowledge and insight into the local market which means he gets results as he knows his demographics and local knowledge. At all times he was extremely focused on communicating with me as far as feedback after each inspection. He did not give me unrealistic expectations but in saying that made me feel very confident in his skills and the great support and enthusiasm of his team and colleague Anthony. I would have no hesitation in recommending James Dorron as the Agent I would use again in the future. Professional, polished and very personable. A very decent person to have dealings with. Thank you James for making the whole selling process a smooth and successful journey. I wish you and your team the success you work hard for.Veronica BurkeVendor
Have bought a property marketed by James' firm and found him to be polite, a good communicator and interested in achieving a good outcome for his client.
James helped me a lot in my purchase by providing me with professional advices and liaising with vendor. He got back to me on a timely manner whenever i have quires. He is very professional, reliable and helpful. Thank you James!
James, Anthony and the team at O’Gorman agency did a great job with the recent sale of our property .I particularly appreciated being personally contacted by James after each open day and updated on on the numbers of the prospective buyers and given feedback on the reasons they were looking at the property, this was followed by an email and progress report after each open day. James also told me that he kept in contact with all interested buyers and was keeping them in the loop.I highly recommend James, Anthony and the team.Thanks team great result job well done.Yvonne logue
I am based in London, and was looking to sell my unit in Sydney which was being managed by O'Gorman partners (by far the best rental agency on the lower north shore by the way). I considered and spoke to other agents, however was convinced that O'Gorman, and James in particular, were the right team to go with. My trust was rewarded with a fantastically executed campaign, leading to a result that far exceed my expectations. Key things that James and the team did to make the sales a success:
1. Produced a detail plan and campaign strategy up front, that was executed to the letter2. Coordinated the preparation of the property (styling, decoration, material production) 3. Provided well informed and detailed updates on the progress of the campaign, including details of all viewings. Being overseas this was invaluable as it gave me a clear picture of how much interest there was in the property, and what the likely result at auction would be. 4. Provided candid and informed commentary on prospective buyers - who was serious, who wasn't, what their price expectations were 5. Leveraging his knowledge of the market and the type of buyers, encouraged me to hold out to auction, despite receiving a compelling pre-auction offer. The net result was that we achieved a result at auction 200K over the initial reserve, and 100K over what I had expected prior to the start of the campaign.
I would strongly recommend James to any potential vendor.
Dear James,
I want to commend yourself on the way you sold our property. Bev and I were extremely impressed on the way you carried out the campaign. You and your assistant Annabelle went above and beyond to get the property sold for an exceptional price. Your communication and promptness in your replies, gave Bev and I confidence you were out there to extract every dollar from the market. Our solicitor Richard Harvey also noted your professionalism and enthusiasm. To whomever that wishes to sell an apartment in the Lower North Shore, I would strongly suggest giving James a call.
Thanks again Bev & John Haskell
Last year my wife and I decided to sell our apartment (83/75 Spofforth St). As the apartment had been rented out we chose to use the rental agent as our selling agent. Whilst logical it was a huge mistake. Clearly selling had a completely different meaning to them. After months of frustration and little progress we decided to look for a new agent. Our son introduced us to James who immediately understood the value of the property (location, great view and lock up garage). Within weeks we had offers and within a month had sold the property with two motivated buyers pushing each other to our agreed sales price.
I highly recommend James to any prospective seller. He puts in the work to ensure you get the results. He's highly motivated, communicates well throughout the entire process and is completely professional.
My wife (Tasha) and I would like to thank you for helping us to sell our current Unit 11, 31 Mosman Street.
Having bought and sold 2 properties through yourself (both as a buyer and seller), we want to really thank you for the amount of effort you have put into helping us with both properties.
Having bought (Unit 11, 27 Somerset Street) through yourself, I have to say that you are the best and "fairest" real estate agent to buy properties from. Most real estate agents would try to "stuff" buyers around but only you would try to get the deal done at a "fair" price working with a difficult "seller" to get the deal across the line.
From a seller's perspective, (selling Unit 11, 31 Mosman St), you are immensely efficient and organised the marketing brochures and signboards together with online advertising within a few days. In addition, we really appreciate all your effort chasing down both parties lawyers to get the paperwork organised and even hand delivering the s149 documents to our lawyer. This resulted in the property being sold in record time (within 1 week of opening!) and at a record price for the block!.
All this is above and beyond what most real estate agents are willing to do. We also like to thank you for the advice you have given us on how to sell both properties in terms of presentation which most appeal to buyers!..
I would wholehearted recommend James as a real estate agent to anyone who is looking to both buy/ sell a property..
Finally, we want to thank you for giving us advice on real estate prices in the Mosman area and hope one day we can buy/sell through yourself again!!
