James Freudigmann

James Freudigmann

Co-Founder & Director

View Bio

James’s goal of helping all his clients achieve success through property is evident from the very first conversation. He is devoted to his clients, has a passion for property and is transparent in all his dealings.

Property has been in James’s blood as far back as his Grandfather who was a commercial property developer, and since he was old enough to save a deposit, he has been in the property market himself.

One of the primary reasons he has pursued his career in property and furthered his study, was due to seeing so many property buyers enter a transaction with too much emotion having overlook the required due diligence to make an informed purchase.

James completed a degree in Property Economics, is a registered valuer and a qualified property investment advisor and since entering the Buyers Agency world in 2007, has been a State manager and National manager before forming PMC with his business partner Will Hosking in early 2014.

Outside of property, James loves getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city to the outdoors and “roughing it” by camping, hiking and 4-wheel driving. He also loves anything sport related and most of all, spending time with his wife and 3 kids.

Personable, authentic and with a steadfast commitment to achieve excellent outcomes for PMC’s clients, Wills drive to continue to improve the buying experience for Australians is rarely matched.

His personal property investment journey started in 2003 when he purchased his first investment property. Off the back of this purchase his passion for property grew and in 2009 he formally entered the Property Industry as a Property Advisor and Buyers Agent.

Having grown up and worked in a successful family construction business, Will completed a Bachelor of Business at UTS and went onto completing his Diploma of Financial Planning and Full Real Estate License. Will’s desire to “walk the talk” and build his own property portfolio opened his eyes up to how easily people can be taken advantage of when investing their own money in the property market. This fueled Will’s passion to lift the integrity and standards of the advice received on the buy side of a real estate transaction.

Since starting in the Buyers Advocate industry in 2009, Will has been a Buyer’s Agent, NSW State Manager of a National Buyers Advocate division for a Valuation firm before deciding to form PMC Property in 2014 with his business partner James Freudigmann.

In conjunction with his passion for property, Will is an active member of Collaroy Surf Lifesaving Club, a tragic sports enthusiast and loves anything to do with his family, friends and the outdoors.
