It was a pleasure working with James and his team. I find selling a home to be extremely stressful. The Knurek Team made it so much easier. They had such great advice and knowledge, they supported us through the whole process. They helped us devise a plan and checked in numerous times. They were always willing to take time out to come over and check in with us when we needed their advice. The pictures of our house that they used for the listing were so tastefully done, it actually made us ask ourselves why we were selling our house! They explained every step so we were prepared for it. We were out of town when we had our showings and open house, the Knurek Team went to our house and made sure that everything was perfect. I truly appreciated that. They kept us updated throughout the whole selling process. We never had to wonder what was going on. We felt that we were their priority. We will recommend them to everyone that we know. We trusted the Knurek Team and they proved to be worthy. Thank you Knurek Team for turning a stressful time into a wonderful experience. You truly are amazing!
Over the years, we have purchased and sold properties 12 times. Although each of these transactions were conducted through licensed Realtors, none went as smoothly as our most recent with James Knurek and his team. From the very beginning, James was most professional, accommodating and responsive. He was extremely knowledgeable about local market trends, strategies, and provided all necessary resources to complete the task efficiently. James services resulted in a very satisfactory and timely outcome. We highly recommend the Knurek team for your Real Estate needs.
We did not hestitate to call James to sell our home. He knows the market and our home sold quickly. He is a kind and caring person who really listens to you! He is not fake at all! We highly recommend James Knurek!!!
Used to the Knurek team to sell my house in March 2024. James initially walked through the house with me and made recommendations for those things that might make my house appeal more to buyers while cautioning me against spending money on those that would not add value ( some of which I had planned to do). With projects that were likely beyond my scope, he helped by offering a list of professionals that were both reasonable and timely. Not having been in the housing market for many years, I appreciated his explanation of current market conditions, and those things to consider when timing the sale and determining an asking price for my home. I most appreciated his communication style. He was very respectful, answered any question I had promptly (even if it was after business hours) , and kept me well informed with every offer that came in. He also educated me in factors to consider when evaluating an offer. Because of James, everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I would highly recommend him to anyone getting ready to sell .
James is great to work with. Very punctual, helpful and honest with his recommendations. He knows current housing market trends very well. He made the listing and selling process seamless for us and our move after closing went really well with his effective planning. Thanks James! I am sure you know who we are calling whenever our family & friends need help with listing.
James and his team are professional, knowledgeable and extremely responsive. They made the process of selling my parents home as seamless as possible.

James made me feel completely comfortable during the entire process of selling my house. His recommendations were right on and most importantly when I asked questions he not only answered them which made me comfortable but he was correct I would recommend James and his team for anyone thinking of selling their home
James is very professional and quite experienced with properties in the Hartford area. He helped us sell two properties that were inherited.

I highly recommend him.

James was a wealth of knowledge and a calming influence during the sale of our home . His keen insights into staging, pricing and the timing of our listing resulted in three offers in nine days time - all above asking price!!. He is professional and thorough. Highly recommend!
James helped me get my condo ready to sell, and his patience was amazing. My husband is dealing with a debilitating disease, and James made certain not to overwhelm him. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. He was able to get me a fair price, and if I lived in CT again, I would call James. He treated us like family.
We decided to go with James ("Knack") after interviewing few realtor to sell our house. We are so glad we did. He was there every step of the way; before the sale, during the sale and after the sale. With his predictive analysis, he timed it perfectly to list our house in March with little to no inventory although we want to sell in summer time. We sold our house in less than 4 days with multiple offers and it was overwhelming. James has high knowledge and gave great suggestion to prep the house for showings. If you are looking for a realtor who you can trust, I highly recommend James Knurek. You will not be disappointed!! We wish him all good luck to him and his family!!!
James is a very honest, responsive realtor. He went above and beyond to assist us while selling our condo. I would highly recommend him to be your realtor to either buy or sell a property in CT.
I would highly recommend James to every one looking to buy and/or sell their house! He was never pushy, always helpful, and extremely attentive to detail. He made the buying and selling process smooth and easy. He was extremely responsive to all of our texts/calls/emails and was very accommodating to fit showings into our schedule. I cannot say enough positive things about him!
Our house sold in just two days , thanks to the effort and attention to details that James provided. He guided us through the process from beginning to end.We would highly recommend him as a realtor.
James is a true professional. He was thorough in his explanation of the process and was prepared with documentation when needed. He was accurate in his prediction of the sale process of our house, from the amount of viewings we would have, the offers he predicted we would receive, etc. Any questions I had day or night were answered in a timely manner. James made this experience effortless for us.
James is an exceptional real estate agent. He met us at our house and got to know us and our expectations for sale. He managed the sale of our home from beginning to end. He gave us practical and low cost suggestions on how to make our house more marketable to the buyer. He gave us contacts for reasonably priced handyman services. He understood the market conditions and how to price the home and maximize our buyer prospects. Before the house went on the market he informed other agents of the listing. He also set up an open house the first weekend it was on sale. We put our house on the market on a Friday evening, and had an extensive amount of showings over the weekend. James communicated with us throughout this time. By Sunday we had 9 offers and by Sunday evening were under contract. We were extremely pleased with the offer we accepted. Thereafter, James continued to assist us to closing with lawyer suggestions and appraiser and inspector guidance. James knowledge and work ethic made a difficult process very smooth and seamless!Brad and Laurie Leonard
Very straight forward and easy to work with on the sale of our house. Laid out a plan. Executed the plan with great expertise and kept us informed every step of the process. Did not over commit but exceeded our expectations throughout the process.
From the moment James got out of his car and viewed the property, his enthusiasm captured our interest, the same enthusiasm stayed throughout his tour of our home, honing in on the many closets and storage areas we had, the layout of our house, the feel of the home and all the aspects that without us saying these to him he conveyed back to us. After a walk thru he spent an hour and a half with us, taking questions and mapping out a marketing plan that was spot on! James was available 24-7 throughout the whole process, his connections locally helped immeasurably as well his experience to navigate the issues that arise before closings. If you desire a real estate agent who surpasses expectations, who sets the bar immediately upon entering your home, then call James Knurek.
Fantastic all-round experience with James. Right from start to finish James was there with us every step of the way. I would without hesitation recommend James to any buyer or seller.

We choose James Knurek as our Realtor because we saw his for sale signs all over South Windsor and figured he must be doing something right. That turned out to be a correct assumption. James was very responsive in returning calls and in getting us information when needed. This doesnt always happen with Realtors. He gave us good advise and intel on our local housing market which translated into $35k over asking price! James even helped out after the sale by mailing us items that were sent to our house after we had moved to FL. It was a very smooth process using Knurek and I highly recommend him.
Todays real estate market is evolving rapidly and I needed someone who could guide me through the process of selling my mother's house after her passing. James Knurek was highly recommended to me by a family member who had previous experience with him. James is a very active and passionate realtor. He responded immediately to my request for his services and spent the time necessary to make me feel comfortable with his evaluation of the home and his strategy for a successful sale. I was truly impressed with his command of the market. Everything he told me would happen, happened. His experience with negotiations secured us multiple offers from which to choose, most of them for over asking price. James remained in constant contact with me which I appreciated immensly. The house was on the market for only three days and James helped me select an offer that pleased me and all my family members. I would recommend him anytime to anyone.
Calling James Knurek when deciding to sell our house was definitely one of the best decisions in our life. James helped us decide, listed the house and sold it with no effort from us. The best part of working with James was he was directly available, very responsive, proactive and understanding. His demeanor and professionalism, thorough knowledge of where the market is, where it is heading and specific understanding of the local market is unmatchable.Sudha & Nagaraj
James was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the local market and made sure everything went smoothly. Will definitely recommend him to all my friends.
By far the best selling experience my wife and I have ever had. James Knurek is a true professional and an absolute wealth of knowledge! He came with many recommendations and played true to his reputatation. He sold our house in 2 days! The whole process before, during and after the sell was seemless. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to sell and buy a home. James, thank you again for selling our home!
There aren't enough words to describe James and what he brings to the table. As an out of state seller, he made everything as easy as possible. I truly did not have to worry about anything from start to finish. If something needed attention, he took care of it in a timely manner. He cares about his sellers...it isn't just about making a sale. He genuinely provides a perspective. I highly recommend working with him.
What a terrific experience working with James Knurek from start to finish. When you take a large investment that is very personal and that you take great pride in, you want to engage a leader in the industry to represent your best interests. We are very pleased to say all our research of the industry best took us directly to Coldwell Banker and James. He educates, puts you at ease, is sincere, insightful, honest, and a consummate professional. If you want the very best, engage James.
I met several other realtors before I chose who I wanted to work with in the end. James shone out from all of the other realtors. I really appreciated his honesty, how upfront he was with me at every turn and that he never tried to just please me by saying what he thought I wanted to hear. He truly wanted to help me in any way that he could. James is a very busy realtor, extremely hard working yet every time he was with me or talking to me I felt like I was his only client. He was very attentive.He is incredibly knowledgeable, very professional and warm and sincere. He answered every one of my phone calls, texts and emails quickly. He kept me informed every step of the way. Every single thing that he had told me throughout the whole process came true except that my house sold a lot faster than what I had imagined it would, which was a great surprise. We also priced it right so that I wouldn't have to sit on it for very long as that was very important to me as I was already settled into my new home.Many of my friends and family watched how hard he worked for me and were also very impressed with James. Two of them are going to call him when they decide to downsize too.
James is very professional and an expert in the real estate market in this area. He provided us with excellent advice for preparing our home for sale and assisted us with the purchase of a new home. He is extremely responsive and organized and as a result, both transactions went very smoothly. We had an offer (which exceed our asking price) within 1 day of listing our home for sale. James is a pleasure to work with and the best of the best in the Greater Hartford real estate market. We highly recommend him!
Very responsive and always made him available to us even late Sunday night. Communicated with us for all details, clearly and nothing left unknown. His tireless services made us feel he does very much care what he do and care for customers. The house sold price exceeded our expectation. We had great experience with James. I am glad I selected him to represent us.

Hes the best of the best!Nancy Coughlin
If you are looking to buy/sell a property in South Windsor or nearby area, James is definitely your NO.1 choice! James was always available to show us the properties we were interested in, answer many of our questions, offer us excellent suggestions. And he was very efficient in negotiation in the last step, and we were happy with the final purchase price.
James was an absolute pleasure to work with. I wouldnt use anyone else for your real estate needs. He quickly learns exactly what your needs and wants are and makes the process extremely easy. James was always available to provide his expertise or relay information to other parties. During negotiations, James continued to push for the things we wanted and wouldnt back down until he knew wed be satisfied. He continuously made us realize how inefficient everyone else we were dealing with were. Youd be doing yourself a disservice if you didnt use James as your realtor.
As first time home buyers, we wanted a realtor that could guide us throughout the entire process. James was more than we couldve asked for. He was always responsive, patient every step of the way and gave sound advice when needed. He was extremely knowledgeable and made what should have been a stressful process as painless as possible.
I was referred to James through a friend and have been very happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and responsive, and was more than willing to accommodate my hectic work schedule. This won't be the last home that I buy and I plan on utilizing his services again in the future, I recommend you do too.
We had a wonderful experience buying and selling with James Knurek. Throughout the entire process we felt confident that we were in good hands. Everything was handled in an organized and thorough manner, and we knew James was making sure all the details were covered so there would be so surprises on closing day. When it came to deciding on a list price for our sale and negotiating both our purchase and sale, his expertise in the local market was evident. He was easy to reach, day and night, for any questions we had and was always available to take us to see properties. He is also a great guy and a real pleasure to work with. We highly recommend James!
Choosing James Knurek as our real estate agent was one of the best decisions we have ever made! James is personable, knowledgeable, and readily available for any question or request. As first-time home buyers, we were extremely fortunate to have chosen James! He walked us through each step of the house-hunting and home-buying process, thoroughly answering each question we had and thoughtfully explaining each detail. James has a wide breadth of knowledge: regarding houses themselves, as well as the selling and purchasing processes. James also has a discernible depth of knowledge regarding the South Windsor market, as well as the markets in surrounding areas. He is well known among the team of people we worked with - from insurance agents to closing lawyers - as one of the best in the business for his expertise and professionalism. We would highly recommend James Knurek to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
James Knurek is an extremely hardworking young man. After a dissatisfied experience with two other realtors, we contacted him and his efficiency was remarkable. He has in him to complete a deal satisfactorily. He is very efficient, knowledgeable, meticulous, extremely good in communication, level headed, patient, very perceptive and above all very respectful and polite.

He made it very easy for us without much stress or hassle.He is truly a wonderful person and a very capable realtor.
We interviewed a number of brokers in our area when it came time to sell my fathers house when he passed. It was not an easy property to sell and there were so many considerations. It was a bit overwhelming for my sister and me. James was patient with us and listened to all of our concerns and ideas. He is also confident in his experience and brought his point of view. It can take a long time to sell a house even when it is priced right. James worked with us to develop the right pricing strategy and to articulate the real benefits of our home in the selling materials for the right buyer. The result was we have 6 showings in the first three days to the right prospective buyers and closed within a month. We strongly recommend James and thank him for all of his efforts on our behalf.
James is amazing. I found James after 6 months frustrated and hopeless listing with another agent. James is very knowledgeable. He got the house contracted and closed within a couple of months. James was very helpful, he effectively handled bumps for me from finding buyer to closing. I would strongly recommend James if anyone wants to buy or sale a house in South Windsor Connecticut.
James was amazing to work with. For first time buyers like us, he made the whole process so easy and smooth. He helped us get our dream home. He was a true professional, so knowledgeable, efficient and proactive. I would Whole heartedly recommend James to any home buyer.
James is professional. Knowledgeable, and very helpful. There were a few unexpected bumps in the closing, but, James helped us through the process and we got the price that we wanted within the first couple of days. If I was moving back to Connecticut, he would be the one I call. He delivers exactly what he says he will do for you.
James was professional and pleasant work with. He answered every question we had and sought confirmation on questions needing research. We were relocating back to Connecticut and James made the transition easy.A true professional..........drmacdaid
James recently help us relocate to South Windsor from Tolland. His calm nature, knowledge of the market, patients, honesty and professionalism gave me the confidence that we were in great hands. Before putting our house up on the market he came out to the house and gave us a detailed list of items to concentrate on before putting it on the market. His market analysis was very thorough with many comparable houses in the area to give you a good feel your house is being priced correctly. My husband and I were very impressed with his quick response to any of our questions or concerns. For the amount of work he has he makes you feel as though you are his only client. We were also blown away with his negotiation skills. He got our new house down to a price we thought we would never get. And when we had an offer on our house he advised us on what he thought would work for a counter. Thank you James for your hard work and continued dedication to helping us find other investment opportunities.
James helped me buy a new townhouse in South Windsor. He is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. His passion and dedication to the job is simply superb. We emailed most of the time, and my emails are always answered within half a day. I was only interested in new constructions, and James explained the entire process clearly from the very beginning. He accompanied me to all property tours and is always on (Swiss) time. James also offered financial and negotiation tips that made my experience as smooth as possible. Not once did I feel lost or confused over the 4+ months we worked together. I will recommend his service to anyone who is looking to buy a property in the Greater Hartford area.
In early 2017, I received a piece of mail with James Knurek's realtor information and it caught my attention. My husband and I had been planning to sell our home and buy a new one and didn't have a real estate agent picked out yet. I had consulted with a couple in the previous 2-3 years and just didn't get a good feel, so we thought - okay, we'll ask James to come over and we'll see. Immediately, we were both extremely impressed with his knowledge and willingness to provide such local information about the market and especially the recent foundation issues here in the state they we knew very little about. He performed a market analysis for us and started showing us properties even though we weren't quite ready yet. And then finally we were, and what a whirlwind experience. But James handled it very calmly, lead us through the process, and was extremely available to us through email and texting. At many times, he went above and beyond what I would consider expected services. He was polite, friendly, and firm when negotiating on our behalf. And he was the reason we got our house when competing against 6 other bids! I can't say enough good things about his professionalism, services, contacts and knowledge. If you need a real estate agent, look no further!
My husband and I were first time homebuyers, and we couldnt have had a better agent to work with. From the very beginning of the process, he provided us with so much valuable information to help inform our decision, and he was very honest and transparent with his knowledge which we very much appreciated. He helped keep us on track with our mortgage company and even ensured the appraisal went smoothly. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with James. We wouldnt consider working with anyone else in the future, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy (or sell) a house.
