ZillowVERIFIEDJim and Vickie Bishop helped us purchase our first ever home. They made the daunting process super simple and went above and beyond educating us and negotiating a great deal. I would highly recommend the Bishop team to anyone planning to buy or sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim and Vickie are local experts. When it came time to sell, they moved all kinds of mountains to get our house the best possible price. They marketed well and we got multiple offers in the first two weeks. A very successful outcome and we were very happy with the energy and effort they put into to help us make our big move.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were attracted to the Bishop team as they had sold a friends house in our neighborhood for a great price in a short time frame. Jim met us and impressed us with his knowledge of the area and prospects for selling our house. Once we were on board Vickie was amazing in getting our house ready for open house. She had great decorating ideas and provided a lot of their own staging items. Their son did all the photographic and video presentations which were very professional looking. Our house hit the market just as interest rates were rising rapidly but they were still able to secure a buyer and bring it to close even with some lender related issues that occurred just prior to closing. I would highly recommend the Bishop Team!

ZillowVERIFIEDOur home purchase was closed this week successfully. As dual agent, Jim and Vicki helped us through the whole purchase journey. Firstly, thanks for choosing our offer. In today?s crazy market, it is not easy to win the offer. From offer to counter offer to accept the offer, it only took 3-4 days. We chose to work with Wells Fargo for our home mortgage which is our biggest mistake. We had 10-day loan contingency and Wells Fargo had condition approval to remove loan contingency. The loan process looks like moving smoothly. But after they exceeded 10 days after the planned closing date, Wells Fargo told us loan application was rejected. We had to find the new lender and worry about losing our earnest deposit money anytime. Jim is super patient with our situation. He did the extension with the seller, provided all the help to work with the new lender, the escrow company. We did have some hard loan condition to meet. With all party?s collaboration closely, we finally overcomed all the challenges and closed our home purchase successfully. To choose Jim as our buyer agent is our best decision ever. He is very honest, patient and helpful. I definitely recommend him to my friends and anyone who wants to buy, sell or rent a home. Thanks Jim and Vicki, you are amazing!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim and Vickie went above and beyond to help us sell our home in Southern California. We did not know them personally before selecting them to represent us on the sale of our home, but it felt like we had, as they were so personal and quick to meet our needs of getting our house on the market fast. They both rolled up their sleeves to help us stage our own house by rearranging furniture. The marketing photos of our house were done so professionally, the house looked amazing. It was clear we picked the right team. They were both professional the entire time and very knowledgeable about the real estate market. They were proactive in getting answers for various questions making the entire process much easier for us. The house sold in record time and above asking price. We highly recommend this team whether buying or selling. A big THANK YOU to Jim and Vickie!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so happy that we chose to sell our house with Jim and Vickie. They were very receptive and reliable throughout the whole process, and I felt I could put my whole trust in them. They are also very pleasant and easy to work with. The local market felt like it was getting soft at the time, but they still got it done and closed our deal in the nick of time! They exceeded our expectations every step of the way and got us the price we wanted to sell at. I highly recommend the Bishops. Thank you, Jim and Vickie!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a result of changing jobs and moving out of state, we worked with a relocation company during the sale of our house. They offered 3 different real estate agencies to work with. Jim and Vickie stood out by far from the others - professional, focused, and attentive to our needs. They helped us through the entire sale process by setting expectations and delivering on commitments. They crafted a unique sale strategy that paid off huge in the end. The marketing materials their team created were first class. Any issues we had, primarily a result of having to coordinate with the relocation company, were promptly resolved. Jim was very responsive and helped ensure loose ends were tied up after we were in escrow and had already moved out of state. 10/10 would work with the Bishop Team again!

ZillowVERIFIEDI am pleased with the experience of working with both Jim and Vickie. The escrow process was very smooth. There was no extra forward and backward in fixing things or changing things. Jim and Vickie were a great team. I enjoyed working with Vickie in remodeling the house before putting the house on the market. I have received a lot advice and help from Vickie in choosing the granite, colour of the wall, size and style of the chandliers, kitchen appliances, etc. she was guiding me in the whole remodeling process. She was very responsives. Both Jim and Vickie are very professional and very pleasant to work with. The escrow was closed sooner than the estimated day which I was very pleased.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I would highly recommend the Bishop team to anyone for their real estate needs. They are very professional and experienced and go the extra mile for their clients. Being millennials, we needed some extra guidance when purchasing our home- which they provided. We got the home for below asking and they also went above and beyond to make sure everything exceeded our expectations. There are many real estate agents in Southern Orange County but, the Bishop team is truly the best. Call them now! You won't regret it.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I first met Jim Bishop, my sister had just passed away. He offered his assistance in whatever my brother and I decided to do with her house. I knew in a short time that he was the realtor to sell the house. He is honest and sincere and his advice was invaluable in obtaining the best possible price with a short time on the market ( 8 days ). I would highly recommend Jim to anyone seeking a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I met Jim Bishop in the course of our search for a new home in South Orange County, CA. We had been looking for over a year, and quite frankly we were becoming a bit discouraged. A listing came up one morning, and my wife noticed it was located in a neighborhood we liked very much. Jim happened to be the listing agent, and when she called and spoke to him she was impressed with his attitude and approach over the phone. After we talked about it, we decided not only was this a property we would be interested in, but that Jim was the kind of agent we'd like to work with. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We visited the home the following day, and we were in contract within the week. This was in large part due to his prompt response to our offer and quick turnaround of documents and the overall process. We were able to arrange for a quick close, and we now own this property. Thanks Jim, and all the Bishop Realty group - nicely done.

He supplied a timeline checklist in the beginning of the close process which was super helpful as first time home buyers. Very responsive in both text and email. Jim and Vickie went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, gave great advice, and were awesome advocates! Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim Bishop has long term experience in the local real estate market and the skills to close a deal smoothly and fairly. I am most impressed with the integrity he has shown while negotiating on my behalf as a seller and addressing the wants of the buyer. With something as big as a home at stake, having someone you can trust is an important attribute to look for and Jim Bishop has a proven track record to be a realtor I would highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was a great realtor to work with. He listened to us and understood what we wanted, which was lacking in the previous realtor we left prior to working with Jim. Coupling this with his knowledge of the area, he quickly helped us find an amazing home in this fast pace market and we've been happy ever since!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was the perfect person to help me buy my first home. He responded immediately to any requests with the right information that I was looking for. He had answers to all of my constant questions. He walked me through each step of the process and made it less stressful for me. During the process we ran into an issue where the seller did not abide by the agreement to which he signed. Jim handled it very professionally and there was never a concern that it would not work out as agreed. In the end the seller took care of the issue and for me, the buyer, I did not have to deal with any extra headaches or worries that it would not be sorted out because Jim was on it. For all the chaos that can go into buying a home, Jim made it an easy and pleasant process.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe marketing was the best we've seen in 12 sales over the years. From day one we knew we had hired the best. Jim and his wife, Vickie helped us stage the home and then showcased it in a way that lead to multiple offers and the highest price we could have gotten. I highly recommend Jim and his team.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was extremely helpful in both selling our house and with the purchase of our current house. He gave us practical tips to help stage our house so we could sell it quickly and for top dollar. He also found a lot of homes in our price range and the desired area for us to look at so we felt very comfortable when we finally found our current home that it was the one that best fit what we wanted. I would recommend Jim Bishop to anyone looking for someone to help them sell their home and to find their perfect new home!!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim helped us find the right home for us as we moved from out of state. His knowledge of Laguna Hills combined with his years of experience were evident. And not only did Jim help us find our house, but he and his wife Vicki were invaluable in helping our family make a smooth transition and integration into the area. They are true supporters of the community. We're happy to recommend them, and delighted to have them as neighbors.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim is a very knowledgeable realtor who is easy to work with. He knows the market in/out and provides useful data to make an informative decision. He also works with his wife Vicky, who provides great input on fixing up the home to get the most value. One of the things that left a mark was the fact that they both came out to help tidy things in the early morning of the photo shoot, which was a pleasant surprise. They are great to work with and would highly recommend them! - Joe

ZillowVERIFIEDLast spring, we listed and sold our Laguna Hills home with Jim. He and his wife Vicki were very helpful when it came to rearranging and staging our house prior to listing for sale. He kept us informed at every step of the way, starting with promptly posting comments and feedback from all potential buyers. We actually got three good offers within 24 hours of our listing, and Jim gave us invaluable advice when weighing and negotiating competing offers. We were totally satisfied with Jim's performance and would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe enjoyed spending time with Jim and reviewing many homes. He was very truthful and honest. We would ask him his opinion on certain things and we would get the straight answer. He would also ask questions of us on why we liked certain things and why we didn't, thus narrowing down searches and viewings progressed. In the end, we found the right home for us. His knowledge of the area was vast and his timeliness was spot on.....
