ZillowVERIFIEDWhere do I begin, this guy is awesome! I would never use another realtor James is the best. I am not trying to up sell. We have used James three time. Two times to sell and one time to buy. So we are going to use him again when we buy. He is a very honest person. I would never use another realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED James was so helpful with my home search! He showed me the homes I chose, and helped with information not only about the home, but even areas I was looking at. I will send anyone looking to buy in the Pearland/Pasadena areas to him.

ZillowVERIFIED James was very easy to work with and was very knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He provided us with recent compatible sales that helped explain his marketing strategy. Following his advice, we received and accepted an all cash offer for our property within several days of contacting James.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with James was a tremendously positive experience. He is extremely knowledgeable (in fact, he teaches a real estate course), he's punctual, efficient, a great communicator, and detailed oriented. More importantly, he stays focused on the task at hand. Unlike many other realtors, he doesn't seem to be distracted by other business. When he was working with/for me, he was 100% present and 100% dedicated to providing the very best service. In the future, we will definitely ask to work with him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Mr. James Coate was a great help in getting my property, (house) sold. Even though I moved out-of-town, James made all the transactions very easy, and explained in great detail the things I did not understand. I highly recommend James for any professional assistance you may need for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED James helped me every step of the way. We kept in close touch thru the whole process with phone calls, texts and email. James also worked closely with the mortgage company and the title company to assure things went smoothly and were done on time. Would use him every time. He also tells you the truth about the property so that you know what you are buying.

ZillowVERIFIED I dont usually leave reviews but this man is fantastic. How fantastic do you ask? Imagine finding a lamp and making a wish. Yes thats right he popped up after making a single phone call and took on what I believed to be a difficult challenge. I was worried for a while based on other real-estate agents just wanting a quick buck (sell cheap sell fast) but he took it to the next level I hoped to get x amount out of my property and with literally a snap of a finger (over night) the deed was done. I got what I hope for and got it quick. If you're looking for a real-estate agent this man is the Muhammad Ali of them. Thank you very much for youre help.

ZillowVERIFIED James did a great job in helping us sell out home during the "lockdown".He kept us informed as the house was shown, and helped keep us calm during this time of such uncertainty. He was our realtor when we bought the house 12 years ago, so it was fitting to have his help in selling it.

ZillowVERIFIED James did a great job on the preparation and selling of our house. We had multiple offers and he found the best way to make us the most money. He explained the risk with each offer and that helped us make the best decision that we knew would get us the best reward. We would recommend him to others in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED James Coate was very helpful in helping me locate, negotiate, and close the transaction of the purchase of my Houston home. His insights and advice put me in a position to make important decisions, and he always made me feel as if I was his most important client.

ZillowVERIFIED In 2016, I contacted James Coate to help me sell or rent my investment house in Pearland, Texas. He was able to locate a qualified tenant and I rented my property. At the end of that lease, James went to work trying to sell or rent the same property. Once again, he provided me with great advice, held several open houses, and this time, he found a buyer! I really appreciate his hard work and will happily recommend him to my friends and associates

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I were relocating to San Antonio and needed to sell our house in Pearland. Our first agent was unresponsive and lacking in the kind of enthusiasm and work ethic we felt would be necessary to sell our home. We were at our wits' end when I happened to receive a recommendation from a friend to contact James Coate. After my first conversation on the phone with Mr. Coate, I was already beginning to feel the weight lifted from my shoulders. He explained our options and seemed to have genuine concern for our situation. After talking it over with my wife, we fired our agent and hired Mr. Coate. What a difference! He immediately went to work: First rate advice on pricing, marketing angles, and product -- everything he said he would do, he did. He answered our calls and our questions in a professional, objective manner. Within a few days, we had the house under contract. His negotiation skills kept the deal on the right track and we closed about thirty days after meeting him! I am so thankful that my friend recommended James Coate, and my wife and I will do the same in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED I was a first-time home buyer, and I discovered James Coate on a website. He set me up with a home search and suggested a great lender to get me pre-qualified. We saw many homes and wrote several contracts before the first home I liked came back on the market. I was so excited! James quickly re-submitted my offer and I got it. I highly recommend Mr. Coate for anyone looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED James was extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable. We were relocating from Colorado to Texas due to my wife's job, so being so far away from the process was difficult but James went above and beyond in keeping us informed and reminding us of upcoming deadlines and commitments. We were able to find a great home in a great neighbor and closed within the required timeframe -- all which could not have occurred with James diligent effort and foresight. We definitely recommend James for anyone seeking real estate in South Houston area.

ZillowVERIFIED Came ready to do his best to sell the old house from the start. Always friendly & communicative and stepped up to give advice when asked. Worked hard to get the house sold, always representing my best interests. This was not an easy sale, being an as is estate sale, but James handled it best. I would highly recommend James for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED My fiancee and I were looking to relocate to Houston, a city about which we knew very little. I found James online, and from the beginning, he was skillful at learning about our needs and preferences. We made several trips to Houston and toured a large number of locations looking at houses with James. He helped us to find our best fit by giving us feedback on property values and characteristics. After we locked it down to our top three, James provided the information we needed to make our important decision. He negotiated very well on our behalf, and he made us feel comfortable and "in charge" throughout the process. Additionally, at any given time during our 7-8 trips to Houston, he always made time to meet and tour with us. During every round of tours, we felt like we were James' only client. He seldom took calls or let distractions interfere. The deal went smoothly, leaving us more time and less stress to plan our move -- and in the midst of all this, my fiancee and I tied the knot! Suffice to say that my (now) wife and I gladly give James Coate our best possible review and highly recommend him to anyone thinking of buying a home.

ZillowVERIFIED After 2 fail attempts with different realtors, I was lucky to have found Mr. James Coate online. Mr. James Coate exceeded all of the expectations of an amazing realtor. From the first phone conversation to many more, he was always patient, helpful and understanding. He is not one of the top realtors in Houston for nothing. He has earned all of his credentials. Ms. James Coate, always ensured our family that he was there to protect our interest throughout the buying process. Even though, at times our deal was extremely difficult, Mr. Coate found a way to help us and ensure that our interest were protected. After touring many homes, we settled on a house that fit our needs. Mr. James made sure we found out as much about the property as possible and helped us negotiate a good deal as well as needed repairs. Toward the end of the transaction, we ran into some delays and Mr. James made sure that our interests were protected while things got sorted out. He was very informative and professional throughout the entire process. I have told everyone that I know that if they are interested in purchasing a property in Houston, Texas look no further. Reviews are sometimes not real, but Mr. James Coate is one of a kind realtor and I will highly recommend him to anyone. Mr. James Coate thank you so much for making our dreams come true.... My home is amazing and beautiful.. We could not ask for more.

ZillowVERIFIED I really can't say too much about my Realtor, James Coate. He helped me purchase my first home, a lovely starter home which my wife and I enjoyed for a couple of years. As my family grew, we realized we needed more space and fast! Naturally, I hired James to handle the details of the sale of my house and promptly started looking for our next home. James was tireless in his efforts to locate prospects and very patient during our selection process. After we found something we liked, James worked diligently to negotiate a fair price and kept me focused on the priorities of the transaction throughout. In spite of the many "moving parts," James made the whole process smooth while making me feel like I had a caring partner in the deal. He was very responsive and generous with his time. My wife and I recommend his services wholeheartedly. Thank you, "Boss!"

ZillowVERIFIED James Coate helped my husband with the purchase of our first home, so I knew we were in good hands when we decided to sell it in order to by a larger home. James sat down with us and discussed the process. He made everything very clear, so we knew the strategy for moving forward. He helped us price the home correctly and gave us an Open House almost immediately. Within a week or so, we had the house under contract and James helped us through the negotiations skillfully, including obtaining a temporary lease so we would have time to move into our next home. James Coate is an honest, skillful and efficient professional and I am very pleased with his services on our behalf and will recommend him to friends and co-workers!

ZillowVERIFIED I decided to sell my home and go on a retirement vacation, so I went online and found James Coate. His customer reviews were encouraging, and I made an appointment to meet with him. James brought a positive attitude, an appropriate price opinion, and a sales strategy that made sense. I hired him and immediately he gave me some great tips on how to stage my home and began planning an open house. I was interested in selling quickly, so imagine my pleasant surprise when we had the home under contract, cash buyer, within a couple of weeks! I agreed to make a few repairs but still managed to close the transaction 15 days after I signed the contract and above my profit expectations. I certainly appreciated James's guidance and professionalism throughout the entire process, and I gladly recommend his services!

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I purchased a new home and needed to sell our existing home. We did some updating and then my son found James Coate on an internet website. James was very specific about what he would do to market our home, and we agreed with his suggested list price, so we hired him. He conducted several open houses and had the home under contract within a few weeks. James did some great negotiating for us and we were very pleased with the results.

James Coate was instrumental in helping me buy a home this spring. Location was the primary reason for wanting this certain home. James knew I really wanted this particular house. He worked tirelessly to secure the home while keeping in mind my budget limitations. James promptly returned all calls and emails. He is a professional that I enjoyed working with. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED If ever there was a time that location mattered the purchase of my new home was it. It is in a 55+ community and most importantly next door to my sister. James Coate understood my desire to purchase the home but was still very mindful of my budget. He helped me negotiate a reasonable price with seller contributions for repairs. The buying process was smooth. I believe that was due to the promptness and professionalism of James Coats.

I inherited a home in Pearland that my mother left to me and needed to make a sale in order to buy a home on the north side of Houston. I called James Coate's office and talked to him about the steps I needed to take to get started. He came over to the house and did a thorough walk-through and provided me with invaluable tips on how to make the best presentation, how to best time the listing and price the house. Once the probate was finalized, we put the house on the market following his advice and had a contract in no time! I can tell you that I know something about home ownership but James really filled in the blanks and was always there when I had a question about the process and had a real knack for problem solving. His patient advice and attentive responsiveness made me a believer! We got the house SOLD and now he's helping me purchase my dream home!

ZillowVERIFIED James Coate helped me sell my home of 26 years, then I had to fine a place to lease for myself and my pets. He knew my requirements and James made finding my next home a priority. James sent me information on many properties in the area he knew that I would like to live. After touring several properties on several occasions, we found the perfect fit, and James went to work quickly to present my application in the best possible light to my prospective landlord. Honestly, without his expertise, advise, and commitment to excellent service, the transition would have been an absolute nightmare. I am thankful that I had a dedicated agent like James Coate to guide me through the process.James was very professional and when I have the opportunity I will recommend James Coate to my friends as a very good Realtor. I know that he will do his very best to locate the property they are looking for.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I are experienced investors, and we hired James Coate to help us find our next investment property. We had an idea of what we wanted and where we wanted it, but we wanted James to understand that someday we might want to live in the property ourselves as well. With that in mind, James showed us a number of properties and helped guide us from older homes that needed more work to something a little newer in a growing area--it turned out to be a perfect fit. James provided us with the information and advice to demonstrate the pros and cons to every house that interested us and was very professional and patient throughout the whole process as we wrote several offers in a highly competitive market. He was responsive to our needs, always cheerful and quick to return our phone calls and answer our questions. We will use his services again and refer him to our friends.
