Where do I even begin to thank Jim? My experience moving from out of state and having unstable housing with my son was filled with anxiety. We were on a tight budget, needed something low-maintenance, and the clock was ticking fast. It felt impossibly out of reach, but then I found Jim. From then on, everything just fell into place for us. His kindness and unwavering patience immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly proactive, suggesting homes that fit what we needed. What touched me most was his flexibilityaEUR"he was always willing to meet me for showing, even on the same day! That dedication meant the world. Beyond the logistics, his honesty and trustworthiness were apparent through every interaction. He gave me helpful tips and provided the confidence I needed to know I was picking the right home for my family. Thanks to his tireless efforts, my son and I are now in our perfect sanctuary. We are finally settled and happy, and we owe so much of that peace to him. If you want a realtor who genuinely cares, works tirelessly, and treats you like a true friend, Jim is your guy. He made a stressful process feel like a supported adventure, and I am eternally grateful.
Jim is a highly skilled negotiator. Smart, kind, and patient. His knowledge about real estate and finance is extraordinary. Working with Jim is a pleasure. You can count on his integrity. I have worked with him two times. One buying and one selling. You will never go wrong with choosing Jim for your real estate needs.

Jim was completely dedicated and laser focused throughout the entire process. You wont regret working with Jim to find your new home!

I cannot recommend him enough!

Jim Pieper was really easy to work with and made the buying process feel like a piece of cake. He treated me like a family member and went to bat for me with the seller. I hope this is my forever home for me and my family and I won't need a realtor again but if I do I will absolutely be a returning customer for Jim Pieper
Jim did an amazing job as our realtor. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. He responsiveness was amazing and his determination to find us our dream home was unmatched to anyone I've used in the past. He was super easy to get ahold of and was quick with getting back to me with any questions or concerns I had, and went above and beyond with everything and anything.

Jim is THE guy you want if youre looking in Watertown. Extremely knowledgeable, straightforward, and educational for those that are a bit timid. Fast responses, patient with the amount of homes, and listened to our needs to an excellent degree. I wholeheartedly recommend his services for buying a home.
We truly cant say enough about Jim. Hes extremely knowledgeable, and tells you everything you need to know. His timeliness is immaculate from start to finish.

Highly recommend, and would absolutely have him as our real estate agent again.

Jim was very proactive during the entire process of us buying our new home in Watertown. From his first showing of the property, to his meeting with us to take pictures and measurements inside, to answering other questions we had during the closing process, to the very thoughtful housewarming gift he gave us, we were very comfortable working with Jim.

Jim did such a wonderful job helping us find the right house and to sell ours! If we had questions he was so quick answering them and helping us with our purchase and sale! I would recommend him to everyone!!! Thx Jim!!
Jim is the best of the best. We chose him as our realtor based off of our incredibly positive prior renting experience with him. He is wonderful with people and really looked out for us and wholeheartedly had our best interest in mind throughout the process. We couldnt be any happier. He is on the ball with new listings and is readily available for anything and everything you may need. His communication is excellent between all parties. He was available regardless of the time of the day to answer any questions we had. We were able to find the perfect home for us thanks to Jims assistance. He is very knowledgeable and was incredibly thorough in pointing out any concerns and issues a home may present. We truly dont have enough good things to say. Our first home buying experience was a breeze and comfortable largely due to him - we had absolutely no prior knowledge or idea of how to start the home buying process. He went above and beyond for us the entire process, even towards the end. Our new home had a few elements that did not appear cleaned - he went out of his way to communicate this to the sellers realtor and ensure we were reimbursed for our time at closing. He truly pays attention to every detail and is so thoughtful. We drug him across several towns to look at homes we were interested in, he immediately found time, set it up and traveled to meet us the very same day. If you are looking to purchase a home and are looking for a realtor who will consistently go the extra mile, do yourself a favor and work with Jim! We are so grateful we did.
Jim helped so much when I lived in the area to find the home I wanted to buy. I later moved out of state and Jim was there to help sell while I was in North Dakota. He did an absolutely outstanding job on staying in touch with me, listening to what I needed and wanted until we found the right house to buy and the right seller. Jim is your guy to go to in South Dakota! We had over 5 years of working together when I rented, moved to buy and when I sold.
Jim did an outstanding job with assisting us with the purchase of our new home as 1st time home buyers ? I Highly recommend him ..... He is very knowledgeable And a pleasure to work with him He guided me through the whole process .....
Jim was an excellent realtor to work with. He is very knowledgeable in his field and will make sure you look for every aspect of a house you are interested in (good and bad). Jim is very trustworthy and will help you understand risks with certain houses but also the upsides. I would definitely recommend Jim if you are in the house market, he will not disappoint you!
Jim was very patient with us during the whole process. If you had questions he would always answer them timely, and never made you feel like you had a dumb question. If we are needing a realtor in the future, we will be using Jim again! Thank you Jim!!
We have used Jim as our realtor a few times now once on our first home purchased in 2019 and recently on purchasing a piece of land. He is very honest when showing us properties, and I don?t feel he?s trying to sell us just anything. He values your time, wants, and needs in purchasing a property to make sure you get just what you?re looking for! We have recommended him to all our friends buying properties! I couldn?t recommend anyone else better then Jim Pieper!
Jim is exceptional to work with. He knows the market trends and is respected in our town. He is professional, organized and made the experience of selling my house so easy. No stress at all. He sold my house in a day! I give him my highest recommendation. Linda Smith
Jim was always available to us any day of the week or weekend. He answers his phone calls 7 days a week and returns your calls in a timely manner. Very easy and personable to work with. If you are looking for a house in the Watertown SD area He is your realtor!!
Jim had found us our house within 20 minutes of it being listed! He was very honest about what he thought the house was worth, and was very good about pointing out ?less desirable? things about the house so we would have the full picture before buying. We are 100% satisfied with how Jim treated us through our buying and selling processes! Our house was sold within 2 days! Would recommend Jim to anyone!
Jim has been incredible both times we have worked with him. He is thorough, honest, and responsive to your wants & needs! Highly recommend. We have worked with him twice and will again should we ever need to!
Several reasons brought us over to South Dakota: job changes, MIL in assisted living, wanted to be closer to our kids. . . When we started looking at Zillow, we didnt have an agent to work with. We found a house that interested us and Zillow recommended Jim based on the area we were looking. We dont believe in chances. Jim was a God-send. He was so down-to-earth, honest, friendly, and was so patient with all of our questions and the long list of what we wanted to find in our new home. Jim answered our phone calls and texts quickly. He never made us feel that we were intruding on his time, or we were a bother. He made sure to point out all of the promising things in a property, but wasnt afraid to show us anything that might cause a red flag. During the time we worked with Jim, my husband and I were continually impressed by him. When we ended up looking in areas over an hour from his home-turf he didnt even blink. He had to make several long commutes while we found the right home, but he was happy to oblige and make sure we were taken care of. This is the 4th home weve ever bought/sold and weve never met a realtor who weve been so impressed with or clicked with as we did with Jim. You could tell his biggest concern wasnt in selling a house for his own pocketbook, but in making sure we were completely happy - and weve NEVER found that in any other realtor weve worked with - whether buying or selling - in the past. If were ever in the market again, we would call Jim in a heartbeat and would recommend him to everyone we know - and even those we dont!
My husband and I sought out Jim Pieper as our realtor after hearing him highly recommended by some of our close friends. Jim was very friendly, professional, down-to-earth and so easy to communicate with; we clicked with him right away! He was always fast to text or call me back with answers to my questions or potential homes to look at. I really appreciate that about him! No question was too small. He related to what we were looking for in buying our next home. He made the selling and buying process easy and simple for us. We looked at around 5 homes before finding the one and couldnt be happier. The tips and advice he gave us to help our house sells quickly and easily were very helpful as well and made our home shine. Our house had an offer within 10 days after listing and we were very happy with the sale! I will recommend Jim Pieper to all of my friends and colleagues who are interested in buying or selling! If we ever needed to sell our current home, we will absolutely contact Jim again!
Yes dreams do come true and Jim Pieper helped us realize ours. A job relocation brought to the Brookings area from the Greater Chicagoland area. We just knew this was our opportunity to final a home with acreage ( it an easy find in a hot real estate market). Jim helped us find our dream home, complete with fencing for our horses and plenty of room to spread out. Jim?s professionalism, experience and uncanny ability to remain calm during challenging hurdles kept our transaction on track and brought us across the finish line to our closing. Our horses will be joining us in a week. Our family will be together. Our dream has come true. Jim Pieper was instrumental in making this possible!
Jim did an amazing job selling our home. He was professional, polite, and timely. All aspects of his work was done with integrity. Jim communicated all the steps to selling out house very well. In addition, he was very responsive to our questions. We appreciate the work he did to sell our property... above the asking price.
Jim was awesome! We were having a hard time with another realtor getting showings and the realtor being available. I responded on- line to a listing and Jim contacted me right away. We discussed what my needs were. He made suggestions and offered advice. He made himself available for house viewings after I got off work and on weekends. The viewings were great because he was our advocate and made sure to point out discrepancies that might be big issues in the houses we were viewing. He helped us find a great mortgage company for the pre-approval and then the approval. We looked at a few homes and we found the one perfect for us. He is a great person that wants to help you find the home you are looking for. If you want a realtor that is there for you and walks you all the way through the process; Jim is your man.
Very happy we went with Jim! Very knowledgeable and motivated! Would definitely recommend him to other people looking or selling a house! He was very responsive when we had a question!
Jim is very experienced, and is easy to talk to. He gave great tips on buying and selling houses. For example, repaint ceilings, and fix little specs on the house, that made a huge difference. Jim is willing to sit and listen to the concerns you have regarding the house and he give his honest opinion, and tells you the way it is. Highly recommmend!
This was the first time ever looking to buy a house my grandma recommended us to Jim and which is funny because my husband is the one who met him first and talked to him and sharing with him that we are going to start looking. He is very professional and up front honest guy. I highly recommend Jim if looking to buy because he is one of those guys that is there for you through it all he actually cares about his clients. We struggled a little bit towards the end and I messaged Jim up and he was there to help move it along. Loved working with Jim and in the future if we ever need to move or sell he is the person I am gonna go to.
Jim provided terrific service in purchasing our home. He was very responsive during each step of the process. He shared his extensive knowledge of the local area that helped us transition and has remained in contact after closing. Highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a top-notch professional real estate agent.

Jim was very professional in his help to me when I purchased a home. He was very professional and straight forward with information and details regarding the home and the purchasing process. He has a great personality and was absolutely the best to work with. I would highly recommend Jim to represent to any one looking to purchase a home or business.
Jim helped us find out first home and investment property. He had so much knowledge on the area, neighborhoods, and the market as a whole. The advice that he gave us and the ability to negotiate made our buying process stress free. He is a family man with a business mindset and we couldnt be happier with all of his help. We would definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy.
Jim is very honest and helpful. Great to work with and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house. He wants to sell the right home to the right buyer, not just make a sale .
