    James was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer my questions about a tax appraisal and was very helpful and friendly throughout the process. I highly recommend working with James and look forward to working with him again in the future. I really appreciate his assistance.

    James was outstanding! As a first-time homebuyer, he guided me through every step of the process. He is truly a wealth of knowledge about the Riverside market, including local laws, market analysis, and the quality of home construction. James took the time to explain the entire process to me and answered all my questions thoroughly. He was extremely responsive to my texts, phone calls, and emails. James showed me numerous homes and was genuinely committed to ensuring my needs were met. He went above and beyond to help me find my first home!

    James and his team have been great throughout my home buying process. He's very knowledgeable and has had my best interest in mind. As a first time homebuyer, I've needed quite a bit of hand holding, and James was great providing the guidance I needed. I ended up purchasing my house at full price but was able to save $14k in closing with his help.

    James was extremely helpful throughout the home buying process. He listened and cared about what factors were important to me and was able to provide guidance on all aspects of the process, from the initial search, to inspections, to financing. He was very involved and communicated frequently regarding potential prospects. From start to finish, my experience with James was excellent, and I would absolutely recommend friends/family work with him.
