• We never felt pressured to make an uninformed or uncomfortable decision.

    Jim waited patiently for us to absorb facts, calibrate expectations, and learn more about the process. We appreciate your constant guidance, availability, and knowledge of the greater market picture. You're a pro, Jim, always working feverishly behind the scenes yet humble, informed, and ready to offer advice after carefully listening. You have abundant patience and professional tenacity that lends confidence to clients.

  • Working with Jim on selling our home has been the most pleasant realty experience we have ever had.

    Jim takes a partnership approach to navigate the path from preparing the marketing materials to agreeing on the transaction terms. He was always accessible, responsive, and undoubtedly knowledgeable about the market and the process. Jim informed and consulted with us at each step, and we never felt that we were being rushed to decisions. On top of his profession, it was nice to get to know Jim as a person. He has a great sense of humor, and his laugh is contagious. He has an eye for design and has impeccable taste.

  • Jim was extraordinarily communicative and ferociously attentive to details.

    Jim listens. He knows when to be quiet and let things ride. He is not at all pushy, yet very effective in getting things done and getting parties within a transaction to an agreement. He works incredibly hard but is never distracted when you talk with him. Despite this intense work ethic, he maintains an easy sense of humor at the ready at all times. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

  • I don't know how to properly provide a reference for Jim that doesn't sound trite or cliché, but the words that I would use to describe him are poised, patient, responsive, determined, and resourceful.

    Jim has worked so hard for us to make the process of both buying a new home and selling our current home a breeze. I love his approach with clients, instilling the perfect combination of charm, humor, market intel, relationship building, and negotiating skills.

  • Jim was excellent and timely in guiding communications to achieve successful sale and purchase transactions.

    Jim was referred to us by relatives who had successfully worked with him in the recent past. Our experience working with Jim was great.

Jim was aggressive on our behalf in marketing the sale of our house, and the result was a quick sale at a fair and acceptable value. Jim was excellent and timely in guiding communications to achieve successful sale and purchase transactions. Jim is an interesting person who is creatively thoughtful and was respectfully patient while working with us. We appreciate the friendly team effort that developed and was successful.
