Winning Edge Real Estate is the only choice!! We are a young couple who wanted to start the next chapter and become homeowners. After going to a couple open houses with multiple real estate agents that seemed pushy and unwelcoming for our financial and uneducated housing situation. My aunt recommended Jim Bim and his team. We could not have been more lucky to get in contact. From the very beginning Jim made time available on a short time frame to meet with us at a desired property. Jim talked, walked, and answered ALL of our questions no matter how obscure or vague they were. We felt listened to and valued. We appreciate how we were always able to reach him, he walked/ talked us through every form and gave us amazing advice on the property. Jim was also able to point us in the direction of an amazing lender that helped us on the financial side. Even after the closing process he has reached out and has proven that he is always a recourse to us. We cannot recommend Jim Bim enough!!!!

I've worked with Jim for over 10 years and he has sold 4 houses of mine. All of them have gone very smoothly and his whole team has always been a joy to work with. Very easy to get ahold of and always willing to put in a little extra effort to get the job done.

Without a doubt the most knowledgeable, professional, amiable, helpful real estate agent I have ever had (and I've had a number). Sold my house quickly and at a very sold price (especially with the market stallng at the time of sale), made the entire process seemless, and even followed-up post closing (never had anyone do that before). Came in with a professional plan based on market research as to the best way to market our home and executed. As it was a rental property, he even helped us minimize the payment of state capital gains (who does this!?#). Just wish I had more properties to sell in Maryland! If you don't hire Jim, you're makng a BIG mistate!

Working with the Jim Bim Real Estate team, especially Weston Bim, was truly one of the best decisions I've ever made. As a family-owned business, they care deeply for their clients, and it shows. Weston was nothing short of incredibleaEUR"he went above and beyond to address all my needs. From facilitating my move to Florida and assisting with downsizing to helping me consign some of my larger items, he provided unwavering support through what was a challenging time. Every emotional step of the journey was met with compassion and attentiveness from this remarkable team, making me feel truly valued. Most impressively, they secured top dollar for my home in record time! I am immensely grateful for all their efforts and the heartfelt care they provided. Thank you for everythingaEUR"this experience has left an indelible mark on my life.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Winning Ridge Real Estate and the incredible experience they provided for me and my family. From the very beginning, this family-owned and operated agency made us feel like we were their only clientsaEUR"giving our home their full attention and care every step of the way. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the selling process. Their team conducted thorough research to price our home competitively and thoughtfully. They helped us identify and make home improvements that truly enhanced the value and appeal of our property. When it came to staging, their expertise made our home look inviting and showcased its best features, which I believe played a huge role in attracting buyers quickly. Negotiation was another area where Winning Ridge Real Estate excelled. They represented our interests with professionalism and skill, ensuring we got the best possible outcome without added stress. Even after the sale, they supported us during our move, demonstrating a genuine commitment to making the entire process smooth and manageable. Overall, their personalized service, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication turned what can often be a stressful experience into a positive and rewarding journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Winning Ridge Real Estate to anyone looking to sell their homeaEUR"they truly treat you like family and make your goals their top priority. Thank you, Winning Ridge, for everything you did for us! Roni
