ZillowVERIFIED 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.

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James and his team were an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end! When I made the decision to start this journey towards buying a home, I was extremely nervous. Having to move home for two years put me in a horrible state mentally. I knew this would be a tough journey for me, but I also knew that James was the right man for the job! - James, thank you for being there for me during a very nerve wracking period! It was a challenging time for me and I appreciate you for helping me accomplish this milestone!

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was extremely professional. James was punctual with meetings and was timely in responding to emails and text messages. Since we were completely new to the area, James helped to point us in the right direction and allowed us to see as many houses as we could fit in a day based on our schedule. James assisted throughout the entire process, from tours to closing, and was able to make the home purchase very easy and painless when we couldn't physically be in the state.

ZillowVERIFIED James did an amazing job helping us find our home. He encouraged us to tour a bunch of options to help us get a sense of our preferences and helped us figure out what to pay attention to as first time home buyers. When we decided to put in an offer, James walked us through the process and helped us consider the choices we had to make in order to put together a competitive offer we were comfortable with. Throughout the entire process from the start of our search through closing, I felt supported and informed thanks to James's insights, advice, and explanations. I couldn't be happier with my experience working with James and the home he helped us purchase!

ZillowVERIFIED James was great to work with! He patiently helped me find the perfect house for me. He was a lot of fun to work with and pointed out tons of different features (good and bad) of every house we toured that I would never have noticed myself. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

ZillowVERIFIED James was wonderful to work with in a very unusual home selling situation. He was responsive, professional and had wonderful advice that hit our home sold in 4 days. I will be using him again when I go to purchase my next home!

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was extremely professional, highly well informed of the market, and guided us through every step of the home buying process. With every house we toured, James provided great insight, most of which we would have overlooked. James managed the entire offer process with utmost urgency, diligence and professionalism, that we had nothing to worry about - he even reviewed all the paperwork and provided feedback, which is greatly appreciated. James easily ranks among the top realtors we have worked with, and that is not easy as we are known to be very picky. Overall, an excellent experience working with James, and we intend to work with James on all our future real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED James was great to work with when purchasing our home. We toured many homes and he was very helpful in looking at all aspects of the home with us, paying attention to the boring stuff that we as excited buyers might overlook. He was also very communicative and helpful with his opinions during our negotiation process.

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James came as a high recommendation from a family member who had used his services in the past. What a professional individual! He is very courteous and knowledgeable. He will always get back to you with any questions or concerns as quickly as possible. His level of expertise really shows, as he makes dealing with the entire process (selling in this case) very easy for several reasons. Documentation can be completed in a snap with his streamlined process! He knows his way around everything: pricing and negotiation, staging tips, high-quality photographs, and a sense of confidence that will put you at ease. 10/10 Would definitely recommend him to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIED James is very friendly and responsible. He promptly appraised our house, arranged for great photos and 3D of the house, and gave us good advice. Less than a day we got two offers, one of which we accepted. Overall the selling and closing went very smoothly. We recommend James to anyone in the Moreno Valley area who is interested in buying or selling a home! Keep up the good work James!

ZillowVERIFIED It was a pleasure working with James! He is very knowledgeable and ensured that we were well informed about the process of selling and how to make the best decision on listing price based on the market. The entire process went really smoothly. With his dedication and hard work, we were able to get 3 offers in 72 hours and close within 30 days of listing. He had great communication throughout the entire process and made us feel that we were his main priority. I highly recommend his services.

ZillowVERIFIED James is absolutely wonderful! I was under a tight timeline to close the house because of my fixed move-out date from my previous house. James was able to close within the timeline and accommodate my various needs! He also set up the house in a perfect way on our day of move-in for proper celebration. You will be in safe hands with James. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED James was amazing to work with. He is professional, very knowledgeable and always responsive. He gave me valuable advice regarding the Market and pricing and as a result my house sold quickly and I'm happy to say for my full asking price. Everything went forward without a hitch. James earned every penny of his commission and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks again James for all your help.

ZillowVERIFIED James made us extremely confident from the very beginning. He and his team were very informative and accessible through the process. We followed his advice to the letter and our condo sold in 4 days. We were blown away. He went above and beyond to make sure the transaction went smoothly and was there for us the whole time. He knew his stuff!! We are so grateful we were paired up with James!

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was great to work with. He showed us a very nice presentation and showed us his professional statistics, and let us know that he thought he could have our house sold within a week. We honestly did not believe that was possible... but within two days, we had 2 full price offers. I honestly dont know how he does it! I'm only sad that we moved out of state and wont be able to work with him on our future home purchases.

ZillowVERIFIED We enjoyed working with James to purchase our first home! He was always available, even on short notice, and co-ordinated the process really smoothly. My wife and I kept waiting for the buying process to "get hard", but it never did. We would absolutely recommend James to work with, and would hope to work with him again if we purchase another home in the area.

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was fantastic throughout our home buying process. He was fast in getting us locked into house tours when we were in that phase and then once we were under contract he was a huge advocate in negotiations and in my opinion went above and beyond in meeting contractors and inspectors on my behalf. We highly recommend James!
Eckleymark903
Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was awesome! He communicated promptly and frequently; kept the entire process organized and on track; and guided us with options and recommendations throughout the entire process. He even predicted the outcome of bids after numerous showings (we had over 20 showings, received multiple bids, and sold the house in less than a week). We highly recommend James.

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James went above and beyond our needs. He was very patient and answered any crazy questions we might have as first-time home buyers. If he didn't have an answer he could take the time to find it and get back to me. He was also available which worked for me and my wife with our busy schedule. Whenever I buy another house I would definitely use him again.
Jeanetteldaniel
Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James and the team helped us present the house in the best light and got it sold for a price higher than the estimate made in the initial consultation. The owner dashboard laid out the tasks to be completed in a clear fashion and helped us stay on schedule with our responsibilities prior to closing. In the end the overall experience was a positive one. We would be open to using him again in the future when the need arises.

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very patient as we looked at so many houses. He was also professional and extremely helpful going above and beyond. Another thing that we really appreciated was how well communication occurred whether email, phone or text - he always responded very quickly with plenty of needed guidance and information. James also took the time to learn what we were looking for in a house and to start sending us suggestions of houses to consider which really helped our process in narrowing down and finding our new home. We will definitely be recommending him to our friend when he starts looking in about a month or so!

ZillowVERIFIED James was very patient during my house search. He was always on time when we went to look for houses & very flexible. His knowledge with helping me write up offers were outstanding. I was a very picky/needy client so it was very nice and refreshing to have a realtor who was there every step of the way that was not bothered by my million of questions I had. Thank you again for an amazing experience with buying a home!

ZillowVERIFIED By far the best person to have on your team when it comes to making possibly the most important decision in your life. His attention to detail, commitment to succeed, and everyday guidance all along the process are unmatched. With James on our side we were able to place a winning bid within a week! He was always available, enthusiastic, and willing to try new ideas. The whole team was a joy to work with. Personally I knew 5 minutes into meeting him in person that we made the right choice. Five stars and beyond recommended!!!

Review for Member: James Cottrell
ZillowVERIFIED James was always available to show us properties, even if they were not realistic for our budget, or if he knew they would not be quite right for us because of their location or features. He never made us feel like we were wasting his time--he seemed to thoroughly enjoy showing us every property we visited. He was extremely patient with us, and worked with us until we found the perfect house that suited all of our needs, and helped us through the entire process until the home was ours. I would highly recommend James to anyone looking to purchase a home. He has extensive knowledge of the area and is willing to support his clients in their search for their new home.

ZillowVERIFIED James was the best! He started out our client/ realtor work by meeting me on a Saturday before he headed out of town for vacation that day! That is dedication! He kept me informed every step of the way! The whole process to list, sale and close took about a month! I am definitely going to use him when I begin my search to buy as well as recommend him to all my friends and family! I also want to thank his team as they were awesome as well!

ZillowVERIFIED I have recommended James to everyone I know currently looking for a home to purchase! He constantly went above and beyond while keeping me informed (and calm) through each step of the process. As a first time home buyer, so many of the details can be overwhelming. James was very responsive and led me to make the best, most informed decisions. 10/10 would recommend him to any and everyone!

ZillowVERIFIED James went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every sense of the phrase to ensure that my husband and I were comfortable with our first home buying experience. He worked with us during our challenging schedule conflicts and took the time to thoroughly explain all aspects of buying a home. We felt so confident in using him as our agent and would absolutely recommend him to friends/family. We were so grateful to have such a knowledgeable professional by our side as we ventured into homeownership. Thanks James!

ZillowVERIFIED Very professional approach was taken by James from the beginning. James made sure we placed the correct offer and he communicated with the seller agent to make the buying process. He went the extra mile to meet our requests for additional viewings and negotiated credit from the seller for missing appliances. We could not wish for a better agent. Thank you James.

ZillowVERIFIED James was wonderful. Very professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. He made this a great buying experience for me. I bought my Riverside house while living in North Carolina. James was great working with me and my family as I virtually toured homes. My friends still cant believe I bought my house this way. My response, my family and James made it possible!
