Welcome to the home of Beds & Bucks most prestigious properties.
You may not have heard of us, so why should you choose us over a national chain?
Yes,James Kendall is more like an organic grocer than a budget supermarket, but we're proud of that. We're passionate, innovative, and know everything about our local communities. And with 50 years of combined industry experience, you could say this isn't our first rodeo.
The Driving Force behind James Kendall
James Kendall combines a refined and sophisticated approach to marketing with honest hard work and traditional values that put our clients' needs first.
Think of us as the 5-star hotel of estate agency. When you check in with us, our highly experienced specialist team mobilises around your needs to ensure a seamless service.
As you might expect from a boutique, mould-breaking agency, we advertise through our actions rather than words. Your success is our calling card! Our founder, James Kendall, built his other thriving businesses on the back of customer referrals too.
So, who are we anyway?
We just mentioned our founder and managing director, James Kendall. He has spent the last 20 years mastering every role the industry threw at him. In 2011, he set up James Kendall Estate Agents from fairly humble beginnings and grew the business into the highly respected property agency it is today.
Not one to rest on his laurels, James decided it was time to return to his lifelong passion for unique and characterful homes. Acting as a curator for the region's most prestigious properties seemed the best way to achieve this.
In keeping with the vision of a deluxe estate agency, James handpicked team members who either share his expertise or have outstanding transferable skills. From home styling, professional photography, and presented video tours to evocative descriptions written by a specialist copywriter, no one in Beds & Bucks does it like us.
What We Do that Others Can't - or Won't
For one thing, we're utterly obsessed with detail. Most estate agents cover the basics, but few offer next-level services such as lifestyle photography and full-scale video productions.
At the same time, we refuse to overcomplicate what should be a smooth and straightforward process. Instead, we share our hard-won know-how with you, so you understand the 'why' behind every method we employ to sell your beautiful home.
Communication is a core part of our ethos. Call us old-school, but we believe in being available for a face-to-face catch-up or an out-of-hours phone call. As a modern agency, we'll also invite you to join our mobile app and WhatsApp groups to make it easy to get in touch.
Ultimately, we'll do whatever it takes to achieve the best price for your unique property. Why? Because we love it. And because James Kendall mainly advertises by personal recommendations and referrals, you know we'll deliver on our promises.
Testimonials
SELLER
The entire team at James Kendall really made selling our house an enjoyable experience. We needed to get our house on the market quickly in order to secure our dream home, Matt came round to value our house and straight away put us at ease and most importantly spoke about doing what was right for us, not what was right for them or trying to talk other estate agents down. Within two days they had created a high-quality video, 3D tour and professional photos. Within 24 hours we had viewings booked in and had sold the following day. As soon as we went with James Kendall they set up a WhatsApp group to keep us informed every step of the way. It's such a simple thing but it really made a difference. No question we raised was too silly, and they always responded quickly and promptly and with good humour too! Sandra worked incredibly hard on our behalf to chase the solicitors and keep us updated on the chain. All in all we couldn't fault the service we received from James and the team. If you are thinking of selling your home, do not hesitate to go with James Kendall. Chris & Natalie Morris - Great Denham.

James and Michael sold our house in Kempston in July 2015, within 2 days being on the market. They were both very professional throughout the process, even though our purchase was a little difficult at times. Nothing was too much trouble and even provided assistance with the property we were purchasing. I highly recommend James Kendall to anyone wanting to sell their property. Thank you to you both.

My house had been on the market for six months with no offers. I contacted James Kendall Estate Agents and they gave me some honest not-really-what-I-wanted-to-hear advice. I did what they suggested, then let them at it. The agreements were all electronic so there was no need for paperwork. My house sold after just one day filled with viewings. I only needed to leave the house once, and I'd got more than the asking price! Once we had the offer, JKES set up a WhatsApp group with all the key people involved in my sale (a highly-skilled admin, the big boss, my charismatic agent, the photographer, the videographer, all sorts of people I never met) so that I was instantly informed of progress at all times. When I contacted my solicitor to arrange the sale of some household items (oven, lawnmower, etc.) I got nowhere for weeks. I tried the JKES WhatsApp group instead and had an agreement from the buyers within half a day. Once the buyers' survey results came in, showing some issues with my house, JKES were helpful, courteous, and professional. They were able to negotiate with me and with the buyers to quickly reach an agreement. I really couldn't fault the service I received. I've bought & sold quite a few houses over the years and this has been my favourite by far. Very impressive, and highly recommended. Stewart Ravenhall - Lavendon

James came to us with a very different sales process to other estate agents - he used an awesome set of photos, videos, 3D tours and copy to engage with prospective buyers online and vet a queue of the best candidates in advance of viewing. This avoided time-wasters and gained a set of strong offers from just one day of back-to-back viewings. The process was very simple and James and his colleagues were always enormously approachable and helpful in guiding us through. It seemed like he was also trusted by the buyers. We would have no hesitation in using them again. Peter & Jacqueline Gorsuch - Goldington
SELLER
The team at James Kendall really changed my perception of estate agents; no cheesy sales pitch, no hidden costs at the last minute, no radio silence when things got manic - they're a breath of fresh air in a world where good customer service is so often overlooked. The listing process of our home was straightforward and the photos looked very professional - viewings were arranged and managed seamlessly by James & Matt. Once we agreed on a sale and the wheels were in motion, Sandra was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process through to completion - She kept us well informed at every step and always considered our position whilst trying to keep things moving, especially when we experienced delays and were very nervous - a credit to the company! Having also sold another property with James prior to the most recent sale, I can confirm this was equally as smooth and seamless - this sale was an emotional one as followed a close family member's passing and I was very grateful for James and the team's sensitive approach throughout the process. Overall I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James Kendall Estate Agents and cannot commend their customer service, market knowledge and professionalism enough. Amy Emery - Kempston.

I had originally used other large estate agents. The service received from them and the price they are prepared to charge is really poor. I was given and introduction to James Kendall and the service I received was great along with a good structured price, I would recommend him to anyone as he gives estate agents a good name for a change.Hard working and honest with good communication.Well done and thanks ! Mr Mayes - Dart Road, Brickhill

Hi James, just wanted to thank you again for all your help and assistance. Would recommend James Kendall Estate Agents to anyone looking to sell their property. The service received is excellent. Miss Knott - Ryswick Road, Kempston

James Kendall has a good record locally in our village. They were noted for getting results quickly. However, I felt they did not have much experience in more expensive properties, so we briefed 3 estate agents and they were the last of the 3 to pitch their services. Despite being a little sceptical of their capability before the pitch, they completely won us over. They had done more preparation, better understood the house and its merits and were orders of magnitude better informed on the role of social media and the internet. They prepared an excellent video that got 28,000 hits within a week. They managed the whole process very smooth and sold our house for a little over the asking price within a couple of weeks. T hey kept us well informed throughout the transaction, which led to a worry-free sale. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Robert & Christine Field - Lavendon.
