ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer, James made my process seamless and enjoyable. His expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, and energy (!!!!) led me to the perfect home in a beautiful neighborhood. James was proactive in finding houses that fit my vibe and had the knowledge to formulate a competitive offer. I am extremely grateful for his work ethic, patience, and encouragement as we navigated my specific requests in a challenging market. James's genuine interest in helping his clients find a home they are proud of is what sets him apart from others. I cannot recommend James highly enough and can confidently say he is the best in the game. Thank you so much, James!!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames was one of a kind, genuine person. Great at handling anything that was thrown at him throughout our process and always kept a positive attitude and really kept us balanced. To anyone who is looking for someone that is willing to go above and beyond his/her job, James gets my vote every time!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames provided the perfect level of guidance and support for a first time homebuyer like myself. At each step in the process, he helped me understand what to expect and what was needed from me, so we could move things along smoothly. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to what I was looking for and never tried to upsell me or pressure me to make decisions faster than I wanted. My closing authorization came in while I was out of town, and I could rest easy knowing that James was organizing everything so I could close as soon as I got back. Big fan of James, highly recommend him as a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you're looking for a realtor to either buy or sell a home James is the person to work with! He is amazing to work with. He puts his clients first and goes above and beyond for them. He always gave that little push when we felt like giving up and I am so glad he did. We will be working with James the next time we are selling/buying a home. I highly recommend working with James, you will not regret it!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames is absolutely wonderful to work with. We listed our place and we were on contract in less than 45 days from the date of listing until closing and at asking price as well! He is an excellent negotiator and really cares about his clients which makes the whole process such a breeze. I will definitely work with James on all my future buying/selling, he is my go-to realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a house during these times was difficult to say the least. With the competitiveness of the market, it felt like it was a constant stream of bad luck. There was a time or two it felt easier to try again next year, but I was glad to have James in my corner. With each showing, offer, non-acceptance or hoop to jump through James never lost steam. Even when I wanted to give up James kept me going and hopeful and now I am happy to say I finally have a home and it was all worth it in the end. Thank you James! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDJames helped us buy a home from out-of-state during a pandemic. He was professional, easy-to-work-with, and always responsive. We were very fortunate to have him as our realtor during an unusual time. He helped us get to know the area from across the country, and he gave us great advice. We would recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt had been many years since we had sold a home and many things have changed in the real estate business. James and Sherry Gillen helped us every step of the way. Great marketing, consistent communication and knowledge of the area totally exceeded our expectations! So glad we choose Liberty Way to list our home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I are very happy with our first home buying experience, in part due to the help we got from James. We started out with a different realtor, but switched to James when she went out of town for the winter. We were a little nervous switching to someone else since our first agent was amazing, but James turned out to be just as good. He was very responsive, and knowledgeable about the process, and patient with us as this was our first time navigating the real estate market. We are very happy with our new home, and grateful that we had James to help get us to this point. Highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Liberty Way Realty team went above and beyond to find me and my family the perfect home. Both James and Sherry Gillen were very positive and accommodating with my busy work schedule for the whole process. They kept me up to date on all houses entering the market and were very diligent on finding me one that fit all of our needs and wants. They were especially knowledegable on Oakland County and the areas I was looking into. Between selling my home and purchasing a new one, they were definitely the agents I would recommend to a friend. Thank you guys!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe would like to thank Sherry and James Gillen for selling our home! They were extremely helpful in every step of our housing process. They shared with us the knowledge to list our home for the most value and we received several offers at our asking price within days of listing. Their team went above and beyond to make us feel like a priority when we needed it most. They not only sold our home, but helped us find another within our timeframe. They were there for every late phone call and early text message. 5/5 stars would recommend to anyone and we will definitely be using them in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDSherry has been everything you could ask for and more. It doesn't matter if you are buying or selling there is no other professional better in this business then Sherry Gillen. I was amazed at the amount of knowledge and details throughout the entire process. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDJames went above and beyond to get me into my first home. There were tons of hoops we had to jump thru and we were truly in a situation that very few people had any experience navigating thru but James and sherry found a way to make it happen for me!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI have worked with Sherry and James before when I bought my and was thoroughly impressed with them. When it came time to sell my home they were the only ones I thought about calling. I believe them to be not only knowledgeable and professional but also honest and caring. I would definitely recommend them to others. In the future if I decide to buy again they will be my go to.

ZillowVERIFIEDOnce again Liberty Way Real Estate made our experience a pleasure! This was our 3rd sell/buy with them and each time we have sold for a higher amount than anticipated. Their knowledge of the market, its trends, and neighboring communities is a true asset to the company. James Sr. , Sherry and James Gillen, thank you for all your help and meeting our timeline!

ZillowVERIFIEDHelped us out for as long as it took. Did everything we asked and texted us back even if it was late. She would never be upset at us changing our minds or when we wasted her time. She would let us know what she thought, good or bad, and never seemed to push us towards something we didnt want or if she thought it was a bad idea before we did she let us know and would take us out of it.

ZillowVERIFIEDResponsive. Always seemed willing to work hard and find all possible solutions to find buyer. Became very active when buyers showed interest. Took more professional pictures and added Drone pictures to fully show the house. Pulled full comps to homes in the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDTo whom it may concern, I want to thank James Gillen and the team Liberty Way Realty for all the help and guidance for first time home owners. My Wife and I had been looking to move out of rent al properties and buy our very first home. We had reached out to Liberty Way and were grateful to speak to James Gillen. James and everyone at Liberty Way were very understanding and helpful to newlywed and expecting parents. They turned a daunting task of finding the "Perfect" place to start our little family into a very relaxing and straight forward process. They had us come into their office and explain our budget, must haves, wants and would be nice options in the prospected homes. Next thing we were getting personal calls explaining homes in the prospected areas that were available. Liberty Way went out to these homes and looked at them prior to us even seeing them and were able to give us a great overview of the home even before we arrived. We were very grateful for this personalized experience as getting ready jump into a first home is a life achievement. Liberty Way had made us feel as we were their only customers being able to accommodate our schedules and demands. I want to personally thank each and everyone of you at Liberty Way Realty for making the first time home buying experience as exciting as it is.

ZillowVERIFIEDJames & Sherry, What can I say but your the best. I'm an investor and it's so important for me to buy a property and get it rehabbed and sold as quickly as possible. Most important thing is pricing. Sherry's expertise in assessing value is invaluable. First of all before I purchase a property I consult with Sherry on resale market value. This greatly helps me make a decision to purchase property. Then I get the master James Gillen to assist me on what a perspective buyers needs are for my property. Following his input and marketing has helped sell my properties as quickly as possible. OF course I can't forget getting to the closing table is effortless on my part. Thank you for all your hard work Ron.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the beginning to the very end the Gillen Team was with us every step of the way. They were very informative, and were able to get us the best deal possible. The team was able to negotiate our closing costs and provide us with a great amount of seller's concessions! I would highly recommend the Gillen team to anyone looking to buy and or sell a home. There's no one better!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with James Gillen of Liberty Way Realty for a number of years. First, we purchased a home for our son and most recently sold a house using his services. We found Mr. Gillen to be very professional and someone that we could trust 100%. Purchasing or selling a home can be very personal and Mr. Gillen was always calm and knowledgeable regarding any questions we had. Ron Barnard
