    Jim is an outstanding agent! He has helped us buy and sell all of our homes over the years and I would use him again in a heartbeat. He knows exactly how to highlight the best of your home and showcase it to prospective buyers so they fall in love with the house like you did. On the buying side, he is a wealth of knowledge and really listens and gets to know you, your style, and what you want in a home. He always gives you the room to form your own opinions, but is equally there to help you see the quality and potential of a home, as well as any red flags. On a personal level, Jim is a joy to work with aEUR" professional, yet warm and supportive. I cant recommend him enough!!

    If I could, I would give Jim more than five stars.His experience was invaluable in helping us see past the pretty pictures and visualize ourselves in each home we looked at. Without Jim, we would not be in our beautiful new home. He showed incredible patience during our home search and sourced out the perfect home for us. During the negotiation process he had our full faith and trust to get the deal done at the price we wanted and he did.He is a trusted partner in your home search. Jim is interested in getting you into your perfect home and not just closing a deal. I couldn't recommend he and his entire team more.

    Jim is a consummate professional and lovely human! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market, and was a perfect match for a first time buyer. He was supportive and comprehensive, meeting after every visit for a full debrief of each property's pros and cons. He carefully listened to likes/dislikes while also giving his own opinion and take on each property. I appreciated how he treated us like we were incredibly important and valued, even though we were far from being a big sale! I couldn't recommend Jim more!
