ZillowVERIFIEDJim was beyond outstanding. His expertise and attention to detail made the whole process much less stressful for a first time homeowner. When Jim said he would do something he delivered. Every. Single. Time. Buying a home for the first time is frightening and filled with uncertainty but having Jim in our corner made my wife and I feel so much better about everything. I cannot recommend Jim enough. Truly he is fantastic in every way.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I was selling my fathers house after his passing, I first selected a realtor that was very responsive but struggled with giving me the clarity on home modification I needed to make. I was introduced to Jim Gradon but was not made aware that he was a realtor. My initial impression of him was a warm and inviting person. During one of our initial conversations, I mentioned that I was struggling with my current realtor, and Jim gave me some advice on how to work with my realtor to get the information I need. My situation did not change. Then I learned that Jim was a relator and asked if he would help me sell my fathers house. Thankfully he agreed. I didnt know it then, but Jim was going to make the selling of my fathers home much easier on me than it would have. I live in Denver Colorado and with the first realtor, I was prepared to manage the improvements on my own with many trips between Denver and Oakly. With Jim, he first helped me identify and budget for the improvements that would give me the best ROI. Then he told me that he knew reputable tradesman for most all of the improvements. Jim also told me he would manage all the needed coordination and work. I was blown away. This was going to save me a minimum of five trips between Denver and Oakley, overall saving me at least $10,000 on travel expenses and 15 days of my time away from home. Working with Jim was a complete joy. I never called him and had to leave a message. Somehow, he always seemed to be available, even before 6am and after 10 pm. I knew I was not his sole client. I asked him how he did it all and he just said to me aEURoeClients are my number one priorityaEUR? This was also the case for communicating via email and text. Jim ended up finishing the work by the beginning of spring, helping me get the most for my sale possible. We went over budget by 14%, but my late changes often drove the cost up. Jim, really knows how to sell a home. One of his tricks he used with my home was to establish the piece I wanted to sell the home at and then put it on the market for 25% less than that. I thought he was crazy but thus far he did everything he said he would do. He ended up selling the house for 7% above what I wanted to sell the housed for. I got the house sold form more, put much less time into the improvements and gained a great friend. What a sweet deal this was for me!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was recommended to us by my husband's coworker and we are very happy we proceeded with using Jim and his team for not only the sale of our home but also our new home loan. From the beginning Jim had some great resources to help us get our home ready to sell. He provided us with comps and the approach he would take in pricing our home at a competitive price. We ended up getting more than expected for our home through Jim's tactful plan. During the sale process Jim and his team were extremely responsive and on top of all our questions, explained the process thoroughly, making sure everyone had the documents needed, signatures required, etc. For our new home loan, Jim is extremely knowledgable on the current rates, market and process of a new home loan. Not only did he get us fully approved before we even made any offers, he also quickly turned around approval letters within hours for the two homes we put offers in for. In terms of rates, he provided us with numerous options not only for the loan but also buy down options. Both Jim and his team through this process were also very responsive and helpful in guiding us through everything. At the end of our closings there were some issues with the buyer's funds transferring to our escrow account due to the buyer's delay. He updated us every few hours with what was happening which was very reassuring. We highly recommend Jim to anyone whom is looking to sell, buy or purchase a home loan!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was an absolute gem to work with. Even tho my purchase involved a small home and price, he treated me as if I were buying a multi million dollar mansion! And patience beyond measure! He responded quickly to my many questions and if he had to get back to me with answers, he did so promptly. He knows the area very well, and has great resources! I highly recommend Jim Graydon! Diane

ZillowVERIFIEDJim Graydon, is very friendly and professional, as well as very knowledgeable as a realtor and as a Loan Officer. When Jim posted our home for sale, we had a buyer within three days, and we closed in 20 days. The loan company and the title company that we used was fast and efficient. Jim kept us up to date on a regular basis and really taught us about the process, explaining each step that we might better understand. You truly cant go wrong in going with Jims company called All Phase Brokers, and youll solely be working with Jim throughout. Thank you, Jim, you made it a wonderful experience in purchasing our second home, and taught us a lot along the short journey of buying a new home. Jim also worked well with my realtor to the new area in which we were moving. And, I really wish that I had now gone through Jim, as our realtor, with the new home purchase, but he did handle our home Loan for the new home, and was more than will to help the buyer and his agent & loan officer and his title company with any help that they might need to move things along. And he called to keep my realtor here, where I now currently live, and he kept her up to date, and was more than willing to help this realtor agent, too. Jim genuinely care about his customers, and he works tirelessly for each and every customer. I found, jim, to be an amazing realtor and loan officer. Jim has a great work ethic.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim is a true professional. He walked me through every step of the process in a way I could understand and feel good about. Without Jim I would have never been able to understand the best strategies to negotiate for a home. As a nervous first time buyer, Jim made the process truly painless and easy to follow. When we had a problem with the warranty as I moved in Jim went ABOVE and BEYOND to get the issue resolved. I couldn't recommend Jim more especially for first time buyers.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was our broker for a purchase that we needed to close on in a very short period of time. He and his team made sure the process was efficient and all the details were accurate and complete. We were kept up to date on the progress of our loan the whole way. Jim was always accessible and quickly returned our calls. Even with a hiccup on the last day (our fault) he helped us correct it and we still closed on time. I absolutely recommend Jim and his team to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim is an extremely experienced agent. He works around the clock and answers to your questions and needs right away. I highly recommend him to someone who is in need of buying a home ASAP. He juggles his time and works around his client's schedules to ensure a smooth and easy process. You can text or call him at 11pm and he'll respond quick! He's able to pull up other options during a house viewing session, allowing a client to view multiple houses on a whim. No time wasted! 5/5 stars for every category.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was extremely helpful and willing to get things done. Hes friendly and works hard to make sure his clients needs are met. Jim works quickly late into the night so most likely questions will be answered quickly. My family and I had an amazing experience with him and would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell and or buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was very personable and timely during the whole house buying process! He answered all of our questions with paperwork and it made buying our first home much easier than we thought it would be! Jim also used his knowledge of Livermore to help us negotiate our bidding price and made us comfortable and confidant in our offer! After our deal closed he stayed in touch with us and even helped by providing referrals for home improvement work. We'll definitely use him again for our next endeavor!

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Jim. I would actually give his name to all my relatives and friends selling or buying a house. He's very detailed and explains each step of the transaction. If your mindset regarding price point differs with Jim, trust his recommendations. His expertise and experience guides you and alleviates many unnecessary scenarios that happen throughout the transaction. He is knowledgeable and provides you answers. Calm through certain rough points and gives solutions. He has a wonderful team of experts that do their part very well. Together, a complex transaction becomes seamless. Jim has exceeded our expectations.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was my broker on a purchase. I was having trouble working with other lenders, so my Dad recommended Jim. I gave him a shot because he was confident he could get me to close on the house I was in contract on. Unfortunately, with the documents ready to sign at the title office, the sellers could not find a replacement property. We had to cancel the sale. Again, I went with Jim on a different home in the same neighborhood and we closed!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was a key element in helping our family sell mom and dad's home after passing. He was right on top of everything from day one ! ! ! Communication and negotiations skill are definitely above average. In business one has to have initiative and attention to details and timeliness. Jim excels in all these attributes. I have been in business since age 9 and have built several successful businesses and am always very sensitive to service above and beyond. That is a good description of Jim's attitude. Thank you Jim for all your " extra " service in helping us with this real estate sales transaction. Giovanni Zappetta

ZillowVERIFIEDJim was God sent to my life. Originally in December 2015 my husband and I decided that it was time to purchase a home. Just two days after we submitted our paperwork for the loan. My husband passed from a heart attack Jan 1st. Of course I was devastated and just gave up on that dream. A few months passed and we revisited the idea again my husband would not want me to give up. So on my own we gave it a shot. Jim made everything very easy for me. He guided me through what I needed to do to through the whole process. He went above and beyond to help me find a good home for my family. If anyone is looking for an honest agent that will help change your life Jim is the one that will help you do it. Today I am a First Time Homeowner. Jim has earned a friend for life.

ZillowVERIFIEDFantastic! Jim is a true professional. When things were going south on the closing of my home Jim stepped in and saved the day. I have Jim to thank for getting my home. I don't know what I would have done if he had not been involved. All this and Jim was the sellers realtor! I was the buyer (I had a bad realtor) and Jim still went above and beyond to help me. Not only is he a great realtor who really knows his stuff, but he's also a great human being who really cares. Believe me, you can put your trust in Jim Graydon. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim helped me with the purchase of my home in January 2013. He was the sellers realtor & he literally helped the seller box up her home & move since she hadn't done it so I could get in. Since he was so helpful with the purchase of the home he was the first person I thought to call. As always he was knowledgable & responsive. He is a pleasure to work with!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim Graydon is incredibly helpful and an extremely competent professional. Whether you need to sell, purchase, refinance, or even short-sell your property, I highly recommend you talk with Jim. (Disclosure: Jim is a cousin of mine... and you may think that would taint my opinion... but, family can actually be more demanding to deal with than other customers.) I can tell you from our personal experience with Jim handling both refinancing and selling separate homes, he really knows the industry inside and out. He cares very deeply about each of his customers and will make you feel very comfortable working with him. Jim's knowledge, good nature, integrity, and people skills will help take the pain out of the process for you. I believe you will be glad you called Jim Graydon!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we met jim he was the listing agent for the property we liked. We did not have an agent and we're not prepared totally for purchasing a home. Jim stayed in constant contact with us, making the whole transaction extremely easy! Escrow was only open for 1 week and we will be moving in 2 days! Jim found us an excellent loan and our mortgage (taxes & insurance) is $200.00 less than we are paying for rent! I would recommend Jim Graydon for any real estate needs! We are very happy with how quick and smooth this transaction was! If we had to do this again we would only want to work with Jim Graydon!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe found a house during the last week of February, and with Jim's help we not only were able to get qualified for a loan but escrow was only open for 1 week! We just signed the final papers today and will be moving into our new to us home on Friday! When we began this adventure we were pressed for time due to our rental lease coming to an end,,,,,,we will be staying 8 days over our lease :-) . I have to say I believe this is the fastest real estate transactions I have ever witnessed! '

ZillowVERIFIEDJim is very experienced and knowledgeable in his field. I have used Jim's services on two occasions. On both occasions my home sold for more than the asking price and very quickly (on one occasion it sold in two days). He is very responsive to his clients. He has a strong understanding of his profession, which enables him to serve his customers well during the sale and negotiation process.

ZillowVERIFIEDI'm writing a review for Jim Graydon. Words cannot describe how lucky I am to have an agent like Jim. I would highly recommend Jim to everyone. He is THE MOST professional agent I had ever dealt with. Jim not only represent buyers and sellers, he also write mortgages..Wow!I had the opportunity to meet Jim in 2009 as he was the listing agent of the property I was purchasing. Jim was there to open the lock box for my plumber to do a sewer cam inspection...while my own realtor was unable to accommodate. Talk about dedication.Fast forward to 2014. I hire Jim on the spot to list my house because of my past experience with him. Jim gave me 110% throughout the selling process . He is all about integrity. Extremely detailed in each and every way, combing through countless paperwork double checking and triple checking. On top of all this...patients. He will sit down with me to explain and guide me throughout the whole transaction process. I really can't imagine getting any better service than this.There are days when I have questions (and by god I had many) and I can always reach Jim. Or that he would return my phone calls within 5-10 minutes. Can you imagine leaving messages and countless messages just to have a realtor ignore you? It happened to me before but not with Jim. This man is truly responsible and he has great work ethics.To sum it up, if you want a TRUE real estate professional representing you, then Jim Graydon is the man. He is undeniably the BEST at what he does! 5 stars all the way..and Thank you Jim!!-Jeanette

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the buyers's point of view, Jim has accurate judgement on seller's strategy. Therefore, we can easily make the deal with the right time and offer. Jim has also demonstrated his knowledge on real estae and also the local information. Most important, Jim has the best patience in explanation and clarification for the escrow process which is valuable for buyers using English as his/her 2nd language.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have worked with a several agents before working with Jim. Working with Jim was a breath of fresh air, unlike other agents i had worked with, Jim kept in constant contact with me as we waiting for a very specific type of property to come on the market. Jim was a pro active agent making sure he contacted other agents to find out if they had a property that we might be interested in, and also to check on any contract that was already in place to see if any of them had changed status or were in danger of falling through. I felt that Jim understood exactly what we were looking for and respected our price range as well. When we would walk through houses, Jim was very attentive to understand what we did and did not like about the property. Unfortunately we were not able to finish working with Jim since we had to change our location search to a city almost two hours away from Jim and it would not be feasable for Jim to travel that far on a consistant basis to show us houses, etc. (though he was willing!) I would highly highly recommend Jim as your realtor, he is very attentive, extremely knowledgable, and very responsive and is quick to answer any questions or requests that you might need, when you are dealing with a fast paced market, he has the skills that you will need to buy or sell your home. I am very happy I got to experience such a quality realtor!
