Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

James and Jim McKenna did an excellent job selling our parents longtime family home. Because my siblings and I live in different parts of the country, we needed realtors we could trust to manage the process carefully, communicate clearly, and keep everything moving. James and Jim did all of that and more. They were thoughtful and thorough in preparing and marketing the house, and their knowledge of the local market resulted in multiple strong offers. Once we accepted an offer, James remained closely involved through every step of the process, following up consistently and helping resolve the inevitable questions and complications that arose along the way. What impressed me most was how responsive, practical, and genuinely invested they were. We always felt that they were looking out for our family and the best interests of the sale. I would recommend James and Jim without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Its an absolute privilege to write this review for our realtor Jim McKenna. We initially chose Jim as the agent to sell our parents home based on excellent reviews and experience, but his services far exceeded expectations. Jim was personable and his communication exceptional throughout the entire process...keeping us all informed, welcoming feedback, and answering questions promptly. He paid close attention to any concerns we had, even offering to consult with his own professional resources which proved very helpful. Jim expertly managed marketing the property, pricing it competitively, and hiring professionals for photo/video presentation and mailers. The finished listing was bright and welcoming, and a perfect buyer was found shortly after his first open-house. A contract was signed two weeks after the first showing, closing just a month later, and selling for over the asking price! Our family couldnt have asked for a better outcome handled by such a knowledgeable and understanding agent, especially respectful of our parents leaving their memory-filled home behind. Jims professionalism in overseeing all aspects of this sale, and in co-ordination with our lawyer, made what could have been an overwhelming process...virtually uncomplicated. We are all extremely grateful. Ours was a truly remarkable real estate experience and I unreservedly recommend Jim McKenna to anyone seeking an outstanding agent.

After I met James McKenna and discussed his approach to selling my parent's house, I was convinced that I had the right agent. He presented us with marketing materials which contained specific details of our house and similar homes sold in the area. He took as much time as we needed and answered all our questions. Jim's listing brought many potential buyers and agents to the house for private views and also during the open house. He provided me with a detailed breakdown of all offers and discussed his negotiation strategy with me. The house was sold quickly at a much higher price than I expected. Jim is very experienced and had a well-organized system for selling the house. He kept me informed during every step of the process and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend James McKenna as an agent who works hard and is trustworthy.

This past summer (2024), my wife and I worked with Jim on a concurrent purchase and sale prior to the birth of our first child. I have all great things to say about Jim, and highly recommend him (10/10!). After our initial conversation, it was quite clear that Jim was invested in helping us find a home, and he truly put in the time and effort to learn about us and our preferences. Early on, we could tell he genuinely cared and wanted to support us in our home buying (and selling) journey. Jim is very responsive and knowledgeable, and a great communicator. I asked a lot of questions, and he always provided thorough, prompt responses with a positive attitude. Importantly, working with Jim was also always comfortable; he is in no way pushy and was very easy to work with. Thanks to Jim, we were able to out-negotiate two other offers on the buy side (including an all-cash offer), and then quickly list and accept an offer on the sell side. We definitely tested his ability to negotiate and then market under pressure, and he delivered. After contracts were signed, Jim continued to help us navigate pre-closing to dos with his extensive knowledge and network of vendors. As a bonus, on a few occasions Jim helped us coordinate with the previous homeowners to see the house prior to closing in order to adequately plan certain work. Ultimately, Jim ensured flawless closings within a day of each other and a few weeks prior to our baby's expected arrival. After closing, Jim continues to be in touch and has helped us adapt to homeownership. Again, thank you Jim. For all those looking for a realtor, look no further!

Working with Jim was an absolute pleasure. He knew exactly what I needed as a realtor to sell my aunts home. Very professional and knowledgeable. He made this process so easy for me. Highly recommend using Jim whether you want to sell or buy a home.
