ZillowVERIFIEDJames is the best. Hes always on time and prepared. He is easy to talk to, patient, and thoughtful throughout the decision making process and negotiated a great deal for us once we found the house we loved. I'm so so happy we found him. I dont know how we got so lucky to have such a great realtor and made a friend in the process.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy spouse and I have bought/sold many homes in the last 5+ years and worked with a variety of real estate people. Most other real estate agents leave something to be desired. That is why we were so happy with the turn of events that James and his team brought to our real estate experience.Here are a few of the many things we appreciated about James and his team. He is very responsive, upbeat, and it's contagious. James understood the market, and what our home needed to sell at the best price. His marketing strategy brought a much higher price per square foot than other much larger homes in our neighborhood with the same finishes. The digital platform he brings to the table is an amazing, interactive tool. It's a user friendly tool that shows all the stats about your home in correlation to what is happening in the market. We highly recommend James and his team. James and his team are superb!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf youre searching for a realtor that you can 100% trust, rely on, and has your best interests at heart. Look no further! James Bergstrom was nothing but the best throughout our entire buying process. We are going to rent out our other home, and plan on having James take care of property management, because we know well have nothing to worry about with him at the helm. Great experience working with James!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe bought our house with James as the realtor for the house we bought and he did a great job for them so when we decided to sell we used James as well and his whole team did an amazing job with the whole process and we ended up making more than asking and he kept us updated and after closing gave us the most thoughtful gifts. James is an amazing person and of course so are all his staff. They were all so knowledgeable and caring. This was my first purchase and selling of a home. I would recommend these guys to anyone wanting to buy or sell their house!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDEasy Peasy! When I decided to sell my house I was overwhelmed with anxiety and concerns, after talking to James and his team I felt at ease with the decision and felt confident in my choices. James made the process simple and transparent, handled negations like a pro, made the experience professional yet friendly and comforting. I would not hesitate to recommend James and his team to family and friends.

ZillowVERIFIEDI'm a first time home buyer and there were so many things I did not expect or understand but James was there to explain it all. He is quick to respond back to you either via text or email. I appreciate the quick respond and follow up if he didn't know the answer. James is a very thoughtful, honest and genuine kind of person. He is trustworthy and know what he is doing. He will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. James will give you the options of what you may need to do and walk you through all the scenarios.

ZillowVERIFIEDJames is a top-notch real estate agent!He knows the area so well and keeps such close tabs on the current market. He priced our house perfectly in a quickly changing market for a quick sell, over asking. He worked well with the buyers' agents and helped us get the best offers possible... we ended up making significantly more than we originally hoped!James is very professional and efficient. He and his team made selling our house easy! I would highly recommend him for anyone in the Kitsap area looking to sell or buy.

ZillowVERIFIEDJames is an ideal agent for Gig Harbor. There's no pressure with this seasoned and polished professional, he simply wants to get you in the right house, that's it. An absolute expert from start to finish, with all the expertise that you look for when fairly new to the process. Since the first meeting (complete with a detailed folder) he guided me through every step of the offer, negotiation and closing. After getting me the keys to the house he even showed up with a nice welcome basket and personalized wood plaque to complete the process. I can't recommend him and his team highly enough. Thanks James and Makayla!

ZillowVERIFIEDMr. James Bergstom will come very highly recommended by me. James helped me to find a home in the middle of a crazy time hard and competitive market. He was there for everything, from locating possibilities of places in my price range, to helping me through the process of making offers, talking to selling agents, learning if the home would be a good fit for me. When my offer was accepted for a home, James also helped me through the process, from guiding me through the myriad of forms and their meaning, to the home inspections, answering all my questions, giving me assurances, and so much more, right up to handing me the keys to my new home along with such a sweet home warming gift! This meant the world to me, as I've not gone through this experience before. He took a very intimidating task, broke it down for me to make sense, and helped me completely through it. He is also there for any questions I may have going forward, after the purchase. I will be sure that it is James Bergstrom and his team handling my real estate business going forward. Thanks team James, you're the best! :-)

ZillowVERIFIEDThanks to James, we are now in our dream home despite a very competitive market for buyers. We competed against 16 offers! James was there, even when we sent an amended offer. He helped us navigate the process, gave recommendations throughout, though stayed mindful of us protecting our investment and only moving forward with what we were comfortable with. His initiative to proactively stay in touch with the listing realtor and presenting our offer alongside our mortgage lender spoke volumes to the steps James took to ensure our offer was seen. James - You've helped give our family the gift of a home. Thank you again.

We had the pleasure to work with both James and his assistant Makayla.They had amazing patience; answering all of our questions and concerns, and always bringing positivity into the room.We feel just so blessed and thankful to have had them in our corner during our first home buying process. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames Bergstrom helped us buy the house of our dreams. We saw the house online, contacted James and he immediately secured a viewing for us. (With COVID restrictions, viewings are more complicated!) He then explained the house inspection report, researched what other bids were being offered and suggested our options to be the top bidder. Throughout the process, we didn't feel any pressure from James to make an unwise decision. He just offered advice. And, with his help, we got the house over 5 other bids. Because he lives in the same area where our new house is located, he has continued to provide "local knowledge" about living in a new county. James made the entire house buying process very easy!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames has been a friend for several years and we have had the privilege of working through 2 real estate transactions with him and his assistant, Makayla. We told him exactly 2 years ago that we were thinking of selling our home, but also considering whether or not to rent it out. He could have had the sale two years ago, but he chose not to and recommended that we hold the home for a couple of years and then sell. He singlehandedly helped us DOUBLE our profit on the home. If I could use three words to describe James and the Paramount Team it would be honesty, integrity and class. James and his team know the market, know how to get houses sold quickly, and take good care of his clients. I will never use another agent again.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I decided to start looking for my dream home in the Puget Sound area, I had no idea where to begin. Although I was reluctant I clicked on the 5 stars rated realtor that popped up on the Zillow listing. All that I can say is that I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. James is friendly, knowledgable, and willing to go the extra mile and is a true professional. My inexperience with this very diverse and large region, combined with being based three hours away didn't deter him from partnering with me and showing considerable patience and enthusiasm. James got to know what I was looking for, what area would be the best fit for my needs, and how to navigate the process all with his calm and trustworthy attitude. He didn't stop at being a great realtor, he also knows a great deal about the nuances of specific counties and has a great understanding of construction, and other attributes of homes that are very specific to the region (like well and drain field). His broad knowledge was a lifesaver during the closing process and beyond. James is a five-star agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were first time home buyers and had a two month old during the entire buying a home process. Needless to say we were lacking in sleep and knowing how it all worked. James took care of everything and went above and beyond and even more beyond than you can imagine to get us into a dream of a first home for us and our daughter. I will never buy or sell a house with anyone other than James and the Bergstrom team in the future. Can't recommend him enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames is a GOD SEND. I lived 124 miles away from the house I was buying in Gig Harbor, WA. James was able to work his magic, to negotiate a 30-day contingency/purchase contract to buy property, without my house on the market at that time. I am 69 yrs and computer illiterate. He had to step me through the complete computer process. I feel I dumped the complete buying process in his lap. He had to do everything!! James is an excellent realtor, who will keep you well informed. I highly recommend James for buying or selling your home. Marlene.

ZillowVERIFIEDJames helped us sell our condo and made the process of being a first time seller smooth and worry free. His construction company was able to accomplish the repairs and renovation we needed at a reasonable price, helped us with staging furniture, and he answered our question within a reasonable time. James coordination and communication made the whole process a one stop shop and We highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I met James through a trusted friend, and James was a trusted friend of our friend, so I immediately felt good about using him as our Real Estate Agent and trusted him with our home. Our first meeting with James, he told my wife and I that our kitchen looked dated, and would likely bring in more money if we updated it. I hated hearing it, but it was true. He obtained a quote for new flooring, and because of 'his' contacts, the installation of the flooring happened very quickly. We installed a new range, exhaust hood, and a refrigerator, and our kitchen looked stellar. Since we had moved out, and the home was empty, James recommended we pay for staging so our home could be seen with furniture. We did this too, and the pictures that were taken at this point, really showcased our home. He then strategically priced our house below what its true value was to increase interests. We had 5 legitimate offers in 48 hours. Of these, all five were above our asking price. The offer we accepted required us to replace some siding, and James had personnel that were able to knock out this work within 48 hours. James guided my wife and I expertly through the process, and was able to easily work with us throughout to ensure that we understood what we needed to do, to push along towards the closing. There were a few hurdles, but those are to be expected. I will keep James in mind if, and when, I need a real estate agent who is thorough, timely, and available to answer my questions. Thank you to James, and Windermere for making this process quick and painless.

ZillowVERIFIEDJames was an amazing person to work with. I have worked with 5 other realtors before we found James and he was the best to work with. He was very supportive, responded right away, and was helpful in identifying issues with homes. He also helped to negotiate when we found the house we wanted and was able to win the bid in a hot market.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe absolutely loved James!! We chose him as our agent for buying our first home. The first day we met with him, he took us out to see 6 or 7 homes. Then the very next day he took us back to see our top two choices. We made an offer that Sunday- James had it written up within the hour of us deciding. Then that night we were notified we got the house! James was so fast to respond to everything and had all the paperwork finished right away. In addition to his professionalism and promptness- he was fun, nice, and unbiased!

ZillowVERIFIEDTrust us James is the agent you want working for you! James was our listing agent for the sale of our house on 5/9/2019. James and his team were very professional with exceptional marketing skills. He gave us opinions on staging our house, and his photographer and videographer were far and above other listing agent teams. We believe their pictures and videos helped in the sale of our house. James was an excellent negotiator and got us the best deal possible when selling our house. We would highly recommend James Berstrom for selling or buying a home.
