ReviewJimmy is an amazing realtor! He went above and beyond for my family and I. He really is one of the best realtors in the tri-state area and without his expertise and many years of experience we would have been lost! Jimmy also has great expertise in contractor work which really helped us out as sellers when buyers tried to nickel and dime us. Jimmy is also TRUSTWORTHY, a true professional and has great energy. Really happy we went with him as a realtor and will continue to work with him in the future!

Review Jim and his team were great to work with. They keep us connected on scheduled showings, provided great candidates, and were able to rent out our house in record time! I'd highly recommend the Syros team to others.

Review Jim and his team were extremely knowledgeable and helpful through our selling and buying process. If it werent for his persistence and work ethic we wouldnt be in our home today. Jim was always available for any questions. I will recommend Him and his team over and over again!

Review I'm was amazed by the top quality service I got from the Syros Group in the sale of one of my homes. Right from the start, when Jim brought over a professional photographer and floor plan expert, all the way until the last moment of the transaction they made it extremely easy and convenient. The use of technology was especially welcomed as I was able to manage showings and sign documents electronically and on the go.Highly recommended and I will be using them again soon for another property.

Review I was thinking of selling my investment property in west Orange and really was confused as which real estate comp to go with. I knew Jim from social gatherings and was always impressed by communication skills and who much he was on the level. Decided to reach out to him and offer him the opportunity to do the sale. went over all the paper work and discuses market and my selling price. We had offers right from the first showing, narrowed down the buyers and I told him what my acceptable price would be at that time. He delivered exactly the price that i wanted and had a closing within 30 days after that. The man is true to his word and will work with the seller and buyers to deliver results. I would recommend Jim and his team to any seller of any real estate.

Review Jim held our hand through the purchase of our new house (a 3-year search!) and the sale of our old house. He provided us with the support and detailed information we needed for each successful transaction. Above all, Jim was always available. We know we werent his only client, but he made us feel like it.

Review Jim, Lea and the rest of the team at the Syros Group were able to sell my house in 2 days and help my family purchase our new home. I couldn't have been happier with the service and commitment we received. Our best interest was always Jim's concern, we had plenty of conversations and Lea was always checking in during the process. We didn't feel like just another transaction for a realtor it truly feels like we walked away with not only a new house but another friend and resource. Wherever we move to next we hope the Syros group can do it again for us. Thanks guys!

Review Jim and his team were amazing, he helped me purchase a home that was available through an auction process on a very tight timeline and we would not have been able to close without Jim guiding us through every step of the process. He even interrupted his family vacation to make sure I was on track with the auction. I highly recommend Jim and The Syros Group, and will absolutely use Jim again if I ever need to in the future.

Review Zillow needs more than five stars to properly rate Jim and his team! They're as professional, friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable as you can get. My husband and I were first-time home buyers and had just moved to NJ from the Midwest, so we had a TON to learn (taxes are how much???) and a ton to figure out about where we wanted to live and the kind of home we wanted. Jim was invaluable in every aspect of our transition to NJ being a positive one. Couldn't recommend the Syros Group more!!!

Review I can't recommend The Syros Group highly enough. As our realtor for both renting and ultimately selling our Montclair house, Jim and his team went above and beyond our expectations during every step of the process. They listened to us, consistently provided great advice, and made themselves available any time we wanted to speak. We were incredibly happy with both the process and the results - we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

They gave us the confidence and guidance to list our home and virtually 'held our hand' through the entire process. I would recommend them to friends and family (that means a lot).

Review I highly recommend Jim and his group at The Syros Group. I've worked with Jim for 2 years, trying to find my next home. Throughout the entire process, Jim was nothing but attentive, professional, kind, understanding, and patient. I was looking for a home in an area in which I wasn't super familiar, so I needed an agent who was knowledgeable and who could guide me to better understand the towns. Jim made himself readily available to answer any questions I had about the different areas and properties, and was patient while I processed the information he shared. Home buying can be a very stressful process, but Jim and the entire Syros Group made it a very comfortable and enjoyable time, and I'm so thankful that we were able to work together!

Review Jim and his team did an exceptional job for my family on a buy and a sell. We cannot say enough good things about the service. Jim spent a lot of time researching properties, helping with getting our sale in order, and taking care of many details. Jim's efforts resulted in two successful closings. Could not have asked for better.

Review Jim and his team are true professionals and their guidance throughout the sale / purchase of our new home far exceeded expectations. The Syros Group has mastered the art of marketing and creating awareness. Within the first 5 days of our home being listed, we had over 40 appointments, an open house(50 people), and after 8 days we received 12 offers(yes, 12 offers). No offers were below asking price! My best advise to anyone that works with The Syros Group, give Jim the keys and let their team drive the process. They will not disappoint!!!

Review When beginning our house-hunting, my wife and I started as that couple checking realtor.com and zillow on a nightly basis. After a few months of scoping out the scene, we began to visit open-houses each weekend. This is how we met Jim Syros and his team. After meeting Jim at an open-house, we had him to our condo for an interview, and he blew us away with his knowledge of the market. We were apprehensive about selling our condo due to the current market in our town. We were expecting to have at least a month or two on the market before making a deal. However, Jim gave us several tips to make the condo more attractive to buyers. We completed almost all of his suggestions, and found ourselves receiving multiple offers within one week on the market.Jim was a huge asset on house-hunting as well. His ability to see potential in homes helped us to look beyond the state of a house to see the home it could become. He offers suggestions for minor cosmetic changes to wide-ranging renovation ideas (depending on if you are open to that).Jim has surrounded himself with a team that made the process easier as well. Chad Gonzalez took us to what must have been over 50 homes and was flexible to our schedule. He always made sure to determine what we liked most and disliked most about the homes we saw to better guide us in our search. Lissette worked with us on all the contract paperwork, and she knows the process very well. We were never out of the loop in terms of where we were in the process or what we needed to give them.Lastly, Jim and his team handle themselves with a tremendous amount of professionalism. Anyone looking to sell or purchase a home should definitely contact Jim Syros. He's got himself a "raving fan" for life.John & Nikki R.

Review It is gratifying to meet someone with a thorough understanding of getting the job done. In less than two months from the time we first met our house sold for $12,000 more than the asking price. Your marketing strategy worked!It has been a pleasure working with your Keller-Williams team. Thanks so much for the excellent service.

Review Jim and his team are outstanding! Everyone on the team was extremely knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. Jim guided me through the process from start to finish. He provided guidance on how best to show my home, explained in detail the market plan/strategy and was there through every step throughout the process. If you live in NJ and need a realtor, you MUST call Jim. He is the absolute BEST!

Review Having spent many years in NYC in four different apartment units, I had a certain impression of real estate professionals prior to purchasing a suburban home. Jim went a long way toward changing those views. Home buyers seemingly come in many different types: looking for an emotional connection to a home, intensely rational/analytical about metrics, looking to satisfy a long list of wants/needs, etc. Jim clearly understands this and lets the homebuyer dictate how they want to conduct the process, rather than forcing a process on them.For me, I wanted to control more of the process, and Jim was happy to work that way, keeping me informed of what I needed to know, but generally letting me set the cadence of check-ins. I used some of the contacts he provided for related home-buying services, and others I went my own way. He was fine with either. With other clients, I know he can be more high-touch and in control of the process. It's about you, and your needs out of the experience, not one cookie-cutter way of conducting a buy or sale.Jim isn't just there to open doors and drive you around - he brings a great understanding of many Northern NJ neighborhoods, the marketplace (his group does a TON of deals) and having done a lot of contractor work, he can give you tips on what would need to be done and whether it's feasible as you're viewing properties that may need work.I'd highly recommend Jim. Hopefully, we won't have to use an agent any time soon (moving is never fun and to be avoided at all costs!), but if we do, I'd gladly use Jim again for a purchase or a sale.

Review Our experience with the Syros Melnikoff Group has been nothing short of amazing. We were very fortunate to have worked with Jim and his team in our purchase of a new home. It's no exaggeration to say that without Jim, the deal would not have been done. Jim helped us craft the initial offer and subsequent counter. When we were ready to walk away, Jim calmed us down and provides insight and strategic guidance. He also talked us through the inspection process and negotiation.Buying a first home was incredibly stressful, but Jim and his team guided us through the process. They were very knowledgeable, detailed and professional. I would unequivocally recommend Jim and his team. Thank you - Jim, Chad and Lissett!

Review Jim and his team (shout out to Lissett!) were amazing from start to finish! ALWAYS responsive to my numerous questions, quick to help and provide insight, informed and intelligent about the process/market/strategy, proactive in offering help and guidance on renovation/staging elements, and generally just a real pleasure to work with over the past few months. Needless to say - they got the job done and my condo was sold as promised. I truly felt like I was in great hands throughout this process (*I should note that Jim also successfully helped my current tenant find a new place in record time, therefore allowing me the time to handle necessary renovations) and other than personally changing the marketplace and magically making my condo be valued at far, far more - I couldn't have asked for more. ;) I highly recommend The Syros Melnikoff Group.

Review My husband and I have truly enjoyed working with this group to purchase our first home. We were immediately impressed by Jim Syros due to his professionalism and knowledge of the market. He made us feel very comfortable. Not only did he do his job to help us get a home, but he walked us through every step and was a bit of a therapist during tough situations. He was always willing to call or text at any hour which we appreciated. After we found our house, Lisette was in contact with us daily and kept us in the loop. She made sure we knew what we had to do. We would definitely recommend this group!

Review My relator was Jim Syros and the service I received was not only exceptional but exceeded my expectations. He prides himself on educating his clients throughout the process first and foremost, identifying their wants and needs, and efficiently selecting properties. His ability to find deep value in homes is unparalleled and 2200sq ft town home I purchased was just that; perfect. Finding a home is only the first step in a long process and Jim by no means just stops there. He guides you throughout the entire process. He has a vast trusted network of brokers and attorneys enough to tailor it to your individual budget, and credit needs. I'm a firm believer in trusted referral business because at the end of the day they're a reflection of how you do business, which , in this case is highly professional; my loan was easy, my closing was 1hr. As a first time home buyer I couldn't have asked for an easier and more educational experience. But, at the end of the day the best part is I walked with a new friend and that's what good business is; building relationships!

Review Jim and his team were a pleasure to work with. My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers who have been researching towns in Northern NJ for ~2 years before deciding on Hoboken. I am a HUGE Googler and was already very familiar with the low inventory and multiple offer/bidding war situation going on in popular walkable towns that we were considering (i.e. Hoboken, Jersey City, Montclair, Glen Ridge, Ridgewood, Westfield, etc) and knew exactly what I was walking into. During Jim's initial consultation, he took the time to share his background in real estate, explain the recent competitive landscape, and if our wants and needs lined up with what we were looking for. Everything he presented us was on point with our research so we felt comfortable that he was the best person to guide us through successfully securing our first home.Jim was available to talk anytime we needed and worked at our speed (fast/slow when appropriate) which is essential throughout the process. Several points throughout seeing places and placing bids, Jim would pull us aside, layout a game plan, and give us sensible advice. He was not afraid to tell us hard truths when needed and always kept our best interests and goals in mind. We cannot overstate how important this is with the emotions that occur during the home buying / selling process. Jim was able to recommend services we needed but never made us feel pressured to go with his recommendations. Once we moved into the closing process Tammy began to play a larger role and made sure we stayed ahead of the game. Thanks to Tammy we did not have to worry about missing any deadlines. At points when other parties (seller/attorneys/etc) were not as responsive as we hoped, Tammy was persistent and never let a question or concern linger too long without being addressed.Overall Jim and his team helped us meet our goal and we could not have been happier with not just the outcome but the journey along the way - that is all thanks to Jim, Tammy and the other fine folks at the Syros-Meinikoff group.

Review Jim helped me purchase my first condo earlier this year. The process went smoothly and quickly thanks to Jim's responsiveness, professionalism, and knowledge of the area - from being introduced to Jim to closing was less than three and a half months. He understood what I was looking for in a condo and didn't waste my time taking me to apartments that didn't fit my wants. I definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy or sell a place.

Review JIm did a great job helping my husband and I purchase a home. Since we needed to sell our condo before we bought, it took us a while to purchase and he was very patient with us through the whole process. He was extremely attentive and took us to see LOTS of homes before we made our purchase. He was extemely knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way in the process. He has even gone above and beyond to help us with contractor reccommendation for upgrades we want to make to our new home. We also used Eric to sell our condo and he was extremely helpful. We had a selling agent prior to working with Eric that was HORRIBLE and upon meeting Eric at an open house we liked him so much we dropped our old agent and signed with him immediately and began to see results right away. Out condo was not an easy sale (nightmare of an association to work with) but Eric worked diligently to get the sale done so we could move into a house we loved. Overall, Jim and Eric were great! They are extemely hard working, responsive and really get things done! It was a pleasure working with both of them.

Review The main reason I rate Jimmy so high is his commitment to service. I've known him for over 4 years and continue to go back to him because I know he has my best interests in mind. He will go the extra mile for finding you a home and is extremely knowledgeable about current market inventory. When I first rented through Jimmy, he showed me nearly a dozen apartments before we finally decided on one in Hoboken. When I bought a Toll Brothers condo through Jimmy, I couldn't have asked for a more smooth search. He listens to what you want and comes up with great options. My friends who I've referred Jimmy to have all had great experiences. Jimmy works hard to find you what you're looking for and he does it with class.

Review Jim initially helped us find an apt for rent in Hoboken which was a fantastic spot. We then decided to buy a place in a year. So we worked out a plan on when to start looking out. Jim then got us our second apt for rent and worked with us to find and help us buy our home within the target period of 7 month. All of Jim's recommendations including the attorney, mortgage broker, movers etc were professional and thorough. I would and am recommending Jim to any close friend or family who is looking for a home. Thank You again!

Review Jim was a pleasure to work with. I have dealt with many realtors and always felt like I could not trust them completely and felt that I was being pushed the entire process to make the purchase regardless of my concerns. I found Jim while my wife and I were selling our condo to move into a bigger home which would accommodate our growing family. He was so understanding of our needs and did not pressure us at all to do anything that we did not feel completely comfortable about. He answered every email and phone call which were many. To make a long story short Jim sold our condo, found a home for our family, and has continued to help me with real estate investments. I have recommended him to all my family and friends and everyone I know has been happy working with him. It's nice to feel that your realtor actually cares about you and is more like a friend than a realtor.
