Re/Max Traditions

Jim was a detail oriented agent. He was always responsive and able to answer any of our questions. We would use him again and will recommend him to friends and acquaintances. He knew the market and all the ins and outs of the real estate process.

Jim Smekal was the perfect realtor to guide us through the process of putting our house on the market. Having lived in our home for almost four decades, we lacked understanding of the many factors and steps that go into a sale. Jim was unfailingly patient, prompt, organized, and professional, often answering questions before we even knew we had them. We had absolute faith in him and took frequent advantage of his willingness to answer questions and make suggestions. He hit the sweet spot in pricing our home, and we were thrilled to get two offers on the first day the house was on the market. We cant recommend him highly enough!

Jim did a great job helping us navigate an unexpected situation. Our house had over 50 visitors in 4 days. He steered us to limit the days of availability and ask for best offer which resulted in more than we anticipated.

James helped guide my spouse and I through the difficult process of searching for and buying the home of our dreams in the Cleveland-area. He was always there to accommodate our needs as a military family whether it was providing daily updates/recommendations, explaining the buying process in the state of Ohio, or acting as a delegate to meet with inspectors or contractors while we were out-of-state. Eternally, we are grateful for his care and expertise when working with us. His sound recommendations and knowledge of the area allowed us to feel at ease and taken care of in our new city and home.

Jim was the perfect realtor to sell our house. He was very kind, patient, and helpful. He would always tell us we did not need to worry about anything. He was prompt for appointments and professional. He went above and beyond in helping us find resources we needed to do tests, cleaning, and so on. He had helped friends sell their homes, and they were very pleased. We knew we would be pleased. He even tried to help us find a place to donate our piano! We sold our house to the first people who looked at it.
