I have been so fortunate to have such wonderful clients and friends to support me along the way. Please browse through the reviews and feel free to leave one as well at the link below:
A special thank you from Hall of Fame Seattle Seahawk, Steve Largent on behalf of clients!

James McCarthy is a rare gem in the world of Real Estate Agents. He has a deep and detailed knowledge base of the market, home construction, and real estate contracts. He was recommended to us through our employer, as he helps out most new hires at our company. From the beginning he was incredibly personable and patient as he got to understand our needs, budget and helped us work through which area we wanted to live in based on our lifestyle. The first time James took my husband and me out to view homes I was amazed at how much knowledge he had about home construction, the various areas “micro-cultures”, school districts, even restaurants. He was especially helpful in guiding us with pitfalls to look out for as this was our first home. He taught us how to examine building settling, wiring and plumbing systems, which products in home construction had recalls and other things that could cost you tens of thousands down the road. He was very efficient and organized in his tours and would provide us detailed print outs of all the homes we would see that day so we could compare and keep track of everything as we went along.
When we did find our home, about 3 weeks into the search process, he was extremely diligent and effective in closing the deal. The home we wanted had three other offers. He stayed up with us past midnight the day the home was listed to write up our offer and walk us through the details and implications over the phone. Because of staying up late we were first the next morning to submit our offer and by the end of the day had agreed with the sellers to purchase the home, despite the other offers being slightly higher. All credit goes to James on this, by being first in line and acting as an advocate on our behalf. He explained to the selling agent and sellers why we were the best choice as buyers.
While the home was in escrow James planned out the inspection with us, was there with the team and helped explain details about the home’s current state. We worked closely together in determining what repairs should be requested as to feel confident about buying and not to scare off the sellers as they had multiple other offers waiting in line. In the end ALL of our requests were filled and then some, because of negotiation wiggle room he had worked into the contract.
By the time we were ready to close, James attended the contract signing with us and patiently sat with us at the mortgage lender in case we had any questions. He is extremely well versed in contracts and helped us understand what was standard and what was not. It felt like we had an expert on our side throughout the entire process.
As long as we live in the area James will be our “go to man”. I cannot recommend him highly enough; he is an amazing agent and simply fun to work with.
Claire Gottschalk
James is a real estate agent ninja. He's always been direct, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him!
Jon Lippincott
When my wife and I relocated from Chicago to Seattle we had no clue where we would live. James was referred to us and was a LIFE SAVER! We were able to fly out once before relocating and James made the most of our trip. He talked to us about different suburbs, pros/cons of neghborhoods always giving honest opinions not just what we wanted to hear. We toured houses in all different suburbs in a matter of hours. I refer him every chance I get. Don't settle for any agent, work with the best!
Ted Johnson
Clearly you do not need to hear it from me on the way James services his clients as the reviews and accolades speak for themselves; however, the humbleness and dedication in which he approaches each purchase is truly unique and is what ultimately sets him apart from the industry. After going through the process of being a first time home buyer in an extremely competitive market here in Seattle, I can attest that there is no one size fits all approach and James understands that to the tee. Whether you take the pragmatic and patient approach towards your purchase as we did or go into it with aggressive and bullish prospects James will understand your needs and adjust accordingly.
Better yet, he actually makes one of the more stressful events in life educational and at times enjoyable, and for us we needed that! Unbeknownst to James we discovered that a little one would be joining us during the final stages of our search process and credit to him, we were able to enjoy that moment as he had everything else dialed in.
I could not be happier that we found James to help us with our first home transaction and I look forward to working with him as a peer and a friend on real estate opportunities that come down the road. I encourage anyone who wants their realtor to holistically move them through the process of a real estate transaction to strongly consider giving James a ring, he will not disappoint.
Justin Seyfarth
My husband and I worked with James McCarthy last year when we were looking to purchase our forever home. I felt like we were particularly challenging clients as we didn't know exactly what we were looking for. Jim helped us narrow things down and we've ended up in the perfect house for us. If you're looking to work with a realtor who is incredibly hard working, punctual, courteous, conscientious, knowledgeable, friendly, smart and who applies zero pressure during the process, I would highly recommend James McCarthy.
Jason & Annie Brashill
James has that rare ability to make every client feel like the most important client.
As a recent transplant to the Northwest, it became quickly clear to me that navigating the insanely competitive Seattle real estate market alone and unprepared was a recipe for frustration—if not disaster. James came highly recommended from a co-worker, and I could not be more pleased with the results. His “big picture” perspective was welcome in a process where it’s all too easy to get caught up in minutiae. James’ deep market knowledge, incredible responsiveness and engaging personality all make working with him a pleasure.
He took the time to help us map out a strategy for finding rental housing in the area, and gently talked me off of a ledge or two during the often challenging (and occasionally nerve wracking) process of hoop jumping. In the end, we found a place we’re very happy with. I recommend James without reservation, and can say with certainty that when it comes time to buy in a year or two, we will work with him.
Benjamin Piper
UNBELIVIABLE COMITMENT TO CLOSING OUR DEAL! My wife Amanda and I recently purchased a raw unimproved building lot with Jim as our realtor. As with any real estate transaction, purchasing raw land can be a challenging process. As a builder, I have stringent criteria and require specific timing to feel comfortable with purchasing a property for construction. For this deal, I needed to satisfy all of requirements without compromise as this purchase would be where my wife and I intended to build our personal home.
Jim negotiated tireless to satisfy our needs and overcome the objections of the seller. With our deal it was critical that we maintain a good relationship with the seller as he would be involved with certain aspects of the property after closing. Jim was able to accurately represent our needs and action on our wants while maintaining a professional relationship with a sometimes difficult and unwilling adversary. Ultimately, we received exactly what we wanted and felt very comfortable with the transaction.
Raw land transactions are complex and take months to complete. After months of feasibility studies, it just so happened that Jim was getting married. Naturally, my wife and I were concerned that he might be (understandably) distracted with wedding planning, preparing for his guests arrival, getting married, etc. Despite all the personal distractions and once in a life time events happening around Jim, we never once felt ignored or that our transaction was not being focused on. At times, the deal was on the rocks and the seller was ready to pull out, but Jim went out of his way to make the right move at the right time despite literally being at his wedding on his honeymoon. I have to admit that while I felt extremely guilty taking Jim’s calls while he was on his honeymoon; we both knew that it was precisely what had to be done for us to successfully finalize the deal. Ultimately, we successfully closed the deal and my wife and I couldn’t be happier!
Jim’s actions and dedication to working our purchase are a testament by themselves to his passion and commitment to his clients. At the very least, Jim, has earned my solid endorsement for his hard work. This purchase was not our first time working with Jim and it will not be our last.
Joe and Amanda Gurnee
My husband and I were first time homebuyers when we met Jim. We were nervous and excited and had no clue where to start. His fun attitude and no pressure approach made us comfortable and we immediately looked forward to working with him. His vast knowledge of the market made it easy for us to make an informed decision. And, when I say vast knowledge I mean everything from location, to the condition of the home, to contracts, procedure and price. Once we decided on a home, Jim stuck with us through the whole process and was there to answer any questions, no matter how small and silly.
When the time came to move on, we called Jim first. He has now helped us purchase our second home. Being a new house, we knew it would be different from purchasing our first home. Thank goodness Jim's vast knowledge extends to new construction as well and he was there to help us through the whole process once again. It turned out to be even easier than before and we couldn't be happier.
Selling our home was also easy with his help and advice. Once we were on the market, Jim worked hard to get the property out there and seen. Within only a few days, we had a multiple offer situation. Jim was great at explaining exactly what each potential buyer was offering. He gave us the knowledge to help us make the best choice. In the end, we got top dollar for our home and we were so glad to have Jim handling our sale.
All in all, you want Jim McCarthy on your side! Even if things get stressful, he is prepared to do what he can to make it easier and with the best outcome possible for you. He will always have your best interests in mind.
I very highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great agent.
Drew & Krista Wolf
Thank you so much for the terrific home buying experience. Your dedication and communication were outstanding. Jen and I are very impressed with your efforts before, during and after closing on our new home. We still can't believe how easy the whole process was and how great all of your support team is.
Debbie did a great job with our loan. She always communicated clearly and left no questions unanswered. Ron did a fantastic job with the inspection and I was particularly impressed that he found that under insulated area above the rotunda (although the listing agent might have a different opinion).
Thanks again, we love the new place and the girls are right at home.
Cheers!
Shawn, Jen, Makenzie & Morgan
James is a pleasure with whom to work. He made my wife and I feel that we were his only clients, and was always available immediately or within minutes by telephone. While we quickly identified the home we wanted, he helped tremendously in keeping our heads cool during the offer/counteroffer process, until we negotiated a successful contract. He kept us very well-informed with all parties involved through closing, including our lender, escrow and title companies. James brings a lot of expertise, but also a sense of humor that helps keep you sane.
Richard K.
My family and I came into some economic hardship a couple years back and were very afraid of what our living situation was going to look like, where would we go? James didn't even bat an eye when asked by a mutual friend if he would help us out. Not only did he hunt down places for us, but he drove myself and children all over Kirkland to find the perfect fit. James has a very special place in our hearts and would highly recommend him to anyone asked. He cares more about the comfort, happiness and well being of the client than about the sale and I’m not sure who wouldn’t want that.
The Larson Family
James is a top-notch real estate professional! As a home stager, I work with a variety of real estate agents, and can say without reservation that James goes the extra step on every transaction to manage the process seamlessly for his clients. I appreciate the high level of communication and respect he provides to me, and I thoroughly enjoy being a part of the team that creates such a successful interaction for his sellers.
Tiffany Greene
My husband and I were referred to James after choosing to relocate to Seattle from Portland for a job. When we met with James, we had already done some exploring and had set our sights on a floating home in Eastlake. This was a first for James, but we'd never know if he didn't tell us, as he educated himself quickly on the new market. He's an exceptional listener, offers great advice, and works hard for his clients. He was always patient, and took the time to make sure we understood all of our options before signing anything or making any decisions. He was with us every step of the way, making the whole process feel easy. I can't recommend him more highly.
Courtney Campbell
James is very down to earth and realistic about buying a home. He's reassuring and helped me make good decisions throughout the process. He never tried to upsell me into a place that was out of my reach and was always available to show me homes that would fit my needs. Other realtors I've dealt with have tried to get the maximum house that the person can possibly afford, but James was great about talking to me about what I actually needed in a home, what to expect in buying a house, and was incredibly on top of the process all the way through to the keys being handed over. I knew James had my best interests at heart when I bought my house.
Matt Logue
When we decided to sell our downtown Bellevue townhouse, we found James through a referral from some of our best friends, who thought the world of him. We knew we'd be in good hands, but James way surpassed our expectations. He helped us find just the right price point for the market, which was not easy for our particular property. When we had some unexpected complexities with the sale, James was an amazing resource to us and a great advocate for our position in a complex situation. We found James to be very knowledgeable, clear, easy to work with, and totally trustworthy. We highly recommend him!
Jenni Laughlin
I only have absolutely positive things to say about James. He was our agent when we bought our home a few years ago. After interviewing several different agents who were so-so, we were fortunate enough to find James. He was patient while answering our questions and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that we were happy and did not feel pressured into the purchase. I'm sure he must have been ripping out his hair due to our naivety and challenges with Fannie May/Freddie Mac, but he never let on and maintained so much professionalism. I am sure he gets a lot of repeat business, and I would (and have) recommend him to anyone looking for an agent.
Jessica Reichow
James is knowledgeable, diligent and really fun to work with. It's like having a home inspector, realtor, and therapist all in one. James helped us find our dream home in a seller's market and executed the negotiation through several obsticles masterfully. I have already been recommending his service to all my friends and co-workers.
Leo Chen
Jim McCarthy is an incredible agent. My wife and I were relocating from out of state and he started helping us long before we moved. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area and tips on what owners are looking for in applications. He was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and so effective that we got the perfect house for us the same day we arrived in our new city! That's worth repeating: Jim's efforts directly led to our securing an ideal home the moment we arrived in the state. We will absolutely go back to Jim in the future. He is the most patient, kind, and talented agent we've ever met!
Ricky Uy
Jim's abundance of knowledge in real estate through every aspect of home buying lifted a great weight off our shoulders during our home purchase. From the very beginning we knew we had a knowledgeable and resourceful agent on our side to ensure a successful experience. He made sure that we knew what to expect during each phase of the home buying process so we were comfortable making decisions. He was attentive to our needs and made us aware of details we would have otherwise overlooked.
It didn't stop there, we decided to rent our previous home and Jim was able to educate us on every aspect of renting a home out. He had great advice for everything from the rental agreement to the walk through with the renter. We will whole-heartedly recommend him to all our friends and family.
TJ Marlow
James McCarthy is a knowledge and talented real estate professional. Recently, he helped me navigate a complicated sale as part of an estate settlement. At every step in the process, James' expertise shown through and I was confident that his understanding of real estate law and practices would ensure I was getting the best deal for the home, while maintaining the integrity required as an executrix of an estate. In the future, when I buy or sell a home, James will be my first phone call!
Jenn Branstetter
Jim is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with! I received a work transfer to Spokane and our family had to move across the state before we were able to sell our house. My wife and I made the decision to rent out our house for the first year before selling it. Since we have never rented before we were naturally nervous about the process, more importantly protecting our largest investment. Jim was a tremendous help and assisted us with the rental and sale of our house while we lived on the other side of the state. It was obvious during our initial conversation that Jim was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the rental and sales process. Jim immediately put us at ease and proved he was there to protect our best interest. Jim was in constant communication with us and answered any and all questions we had (there were a lot!) in full detail and in a way that was easy for us to understand. During the sale of our house we were very impressed when Jim took it upon himself to contact our buyers lender to work out some contractual details, once again proving that he had our best interest in mind. Jim didn't hesitate to go out of his way to follow-up on any issues that came up and he made sure to tie up any and all loose ends.
When it came time for us to buy a house in Spokane Jim yet again went out of his way to help us. Even though he doesn't serve the Spokane area, he still took it upon himself to do extensive research on the realtors in that area and provided us a great referral.
Another impressive element to Jim's services is the network of connections he has built around his real-estate business. The escrow company and lender Jim recommended to us have been as pleasant to deal with as he has. Jim is the definition of a true professional as he is extremely trustworthy, pays attention to fine details, and has exception knowledge of the greater Puget Sound real estate market. Jim was EXCELLENT to work with and we will definitely use him in the future.
Dan McDonald
When it comes to realtors (and service providers in general), Jim definitely gets a gold star. My living situation went through a year-long whirlwind, and Jim walked me through each step, despite my shenanigans and emotional ups and downs. Jim bent over backwards and took the time to educate me on every detail ranging from how to spot water damage to dealing with paperwork, all while making me laugh and shedding my worries. I immediately felt trust in him. He is honest, up-front, confident and stood ground for me when things got tense. All this and he still made sure to provide enough space for me to make decisions. Thanks to Jim, I ended up in the perfect place for me!
Andrea Wicklund
I am a first time home buyer and I must say James has been an excellent resource and agent. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and his professionalism helped us close on my beautiful new house!
Ryan Mano
New to the Seattle area, James came very highly recommended from a variety of sources, so I felt very confident asking him to help me buy a home here. It wasn't much of a surprise that once he handed me the keys, I could reflect on the entire experience with James as very positive. He would happily take the time to accommodate my family's difficult schedule when it came to viewing houses, and was even strong enough to handle my detail obsessed questions when it came to the paperwork and logistics of making the final purchase. The negotiation process was quick and transparent, and there was never any motive other than to assure that we got the house we wanted, and felt good about our decisions.
Cameron Fielding
James is extremely skilled, helpful, patient, and easy to work with. Not only did he scrutinize the legal matters of my tenancy, he also went above and beyond his scope of duties as my leasing agent. He has assisted me greatly in resolving many issues regarding my situation and is supremely generous with this time. He's definitely reliable and trustworthy and I'd retain his services anytime.
Tami Yu
Jim is the best that I've worked with, bar none. I would apply all of the available attributes to working with Jim, but I'm limited to selecting three.
David Murcar
We first engaged James as our agent when a home that we wanted was already pending (too late). At our first meeting, we explained how picky we were, which street we wanted to live on and why, and how to most effectively use our time.
Despite the challenges we threw his way, James has been our advocate 100%, and gotten us into a house that we LOVE. It meets more of our needs, is lower cost, and is truly a better home than that first choice.
His knowledge of home repair has also been invaluable throughout the process. He helped us to envision what we could do with a particular home, and we were then able to compare the costs to update to the amenities in hand.
Going out of town mid-search, no problem; James's use of technology allowed us to make offers from business trips, text alerts to something that we might want to jump on, and responsive timing no matter the communication method.
Just meet him, you'll be glad you did.
KayLee Vogt
When I moved to Bellevue James helped me to find my a great new home in a very difficult market. Since I recently moved from Germany I am not familiar with the local laws and James took care of everything. James supported me on the whole way from sending me suggestions based on my requests to signing the contracts and take over the new apartment. I felt in very good hands the whole time and James patiently dealt with all my questions and request.
Ron West
I first met Jim when I was looking at renting a house and he was representing the home owner. The first thing that struck me was Jim's honesty and integrity and that's what led me to choose him when it came time to buy a home.
When we began to look at homes, he broke down every piece of information from the location to the build of the home. For one house, he pointed out the zip code would change for the house soon and he explained the benefits that would be gained. For another, he pointed out that the materials used were not the highest quality. This was a major help in making a good investment in our future.
If we move in the future, we will be seeking Jim's assistance again and I would highly suggest others consider him as well.
Kristine Golus
James assisted me when I relocated to Seattle from southern California. On multiple trips up he was extremely knowledgeable about local conditions, listened to my feedback and showed me exactly the types of property I was looking for. He was also extremely professional, responsive, friendly and reliable. James was so effective that I felt fully able to trust him to negotiate with my landlord, assist with the forms and take care of things for me while I was offline for a few days making the move up.
In addition, subsequently James has been an outstanding sounding-board and resource, assisting me with a number of property valuations, providing regular advice regarding market conditions and guidance on a range of property issues.
I would recommend James's work unhesitatingly.
Lukas Hirst
I recently moved to the Seattle area, and James was recommended to me by a colleague of mine to assist in finding a rental property in the area.
James' assistance was invaluable - he recommended many properties to try to narrow down our search area, and worked with us around the clock to find somewhere for us to live. He helped us every step of the way, from the initial search to when we finally picked up the keys, and his relaxed personality made it a completely stress-free experience.
Highly recommended.
Tom Salter
Talk about a guy who always is thinking about how to serve his clients better, James is the guy! He constantly pings me with new systems and programs solely focused on how to do a better job for his people. So often brokers spend time searching for the magic bullet marketing themselves when just serving your existing clients with incredible gusto is better for all.
Peter Hickey
Jim is an outstanding Real Estate Agent. Not only is he one of the most personable people you will ever meet, he always will go the extra mile to ensure he understands the needs of his clients and exceeds their expectations. It is his attention to detail and the additional additives that he brought to the process of selling our old home and buying our new house that set him apart from other agents I have met and worked with. I would recommend Jim to anyone who is considering buying or selling their home, he is an excellent agent.
Brian Newhouse
James has represented me on numerous deals over the last few years, including both primary residence and investment properties. I am a returning client to James because of the positive outcomes I've had with him. James offers creative ideas for seemingly every instance, whether it be multiple offer situations, short sales, or problems that come up in the inspection. James always has a resource to recommend and seems to prioritize the relationship with us as a client over the commission. He offers his own perception and looks out for our best interest. For these reasons, I recommend James to represent my family and friends as their real estate agent.
Mark Lucas
James is one the best agents that I've had the pleasure of working with over the past couple of years. His clients are always happy, well informed and know exactly what to expect. He has a positive take charge attitude and gives the best service to all of his clients. Working with many agents over the years, I feel James stands out as a leader in the industry. I would easily refer any of my family and friends to James.
Jessica Barnett
I was consistently impressed with James. He was professional, detailed and hard working. Though his consultation and connections we were able to quickly sell our property for a good value.
Tricia Barendt
Jim was awesome as a real estate agent. After several attempts (5 or more) of trying to find an agent that was dedicated, credible, honest, and friendly, (all values that are a necessity in a real estate agent) we finally got connected with Jim. Jim fulfilled all of these attributes while still maintaining a professional composition.
Throughout the entire home finding/buying process, Jim was diligent in pursuing our best interests without ever being invasive. He was always willing to go the extra mile and track things down or to do any dirty work that was necessary to get the job done just to keep us happy. Jim was also very prompt to get back to us, even in evenings or weekends.
As a first time home buyer, or any home buyer or seller, I would gladly recommend Jim McCarthy as a real estate agent to represent you.
Eric Reichow
I'm delighted to recommend James.
Upon our relocation to Seattle from the UK, James did not merely 'help' us with our search for a home, but 'led' our search with expertese, diplomacy, professionalism and humanity.
His breadth of real estate and business knowledge is never-ending and we were happy to place our trust in his hands. He must have worked endless hours to meet our demanding expectations and always delivered on time and with calmness. James created solutions to every issue we encountered and was a pleasure to deal with. And so personable we are now delighted to know him as our friend.
James, you are number 1. Thank you.
Wendy Sugden
When we relocated here, I elected to use a previously non-MS listed realtor to help us find a house/location to settle in, whom we were introduced to prior to coming here. This was one of the best decisions we made.
Now we have successfully relocated here, I wanted to take the time to write a testimonial on behalf of James. He did an outstanding job on our behalf, putting effort in above and beyond that which I think is typical, acting as both a guide to life in general here as well as diligently helping us find our ideal home and helping us through the wrangle of selling in the UK and buying over here.
A great realtor!
Ben Sugden
I simply cannot say enough good things about James McCarthy. If you're looking for the hardest working, most connected agent out there, he is your man. Every step of the way, he has been not only our guru for real estate questions but a dear friend for support. He is always available with a quick response that you know you can trust. He was extremely sensitive to our situation and handled each step of the way with utmost respect and care. Whenever someone tells me they are looking to buy or sell I have to mention his name now. I wouldn't want any one of my friends or family working with anybody else now that I've worked with the best!
Nicole Gleason
James produced results far above my expectations, His hard work and dedication was far above other agents who were consulted to handle the sale of our home. I have and will continue to recommend James to others who are considering buying or selling a home.
Ivan Andrus
James was my Real Estate Agent for well over two years before I finally purchased. His patience, sincerity, and looking out for my concerns were truly appreciated. I recommend James to anyone looking for a talented, educated, and mindful Real Estate Agent.
Nicholas Tucker
James performance outstanding services for his clients and ensures that he recommends the correct people to join his team. We have worked for James, and his clients, and have had successful jobs completed. It all comes down to the details for James.
JC Clementz
We were moving from California to Washington, and really didn't know the area at all, but with James' expert help, we found the perfect house at the right price. James was 100% reliable, and went out of his way to make sure we were happy and that everything went well.
At closing, we had a very demanding set of deadlines, as well as a chain of three houses that needed to close on time. James was instrumental in ensuring that everything closed smoothly. We recommend James to everyone.
Jeffrey Brown
James is a true professional when it comes to real estate. He takes the time to educate his buyers and understand their personal needs in order to build a relationship far beyond their initial transaction. His level of ethics and honesty are second to none in the industry. He is a vital part of my business and I have no hesitation in referring my clients and future business to James.
Stephen Chow
My wife and I moved from Dallas to Bellevue, WA a few months ago. We supplied Jim with a rather particular list of desired attributes in rental properties, and he quickly came up with a list of potential houses to check out. He then took the time to personally show us some really cool houses all over Bellevue. Once we found a place we liked, he really went the extra mile helping us with some time sensitive negotiations on our behalf. Jim was really easy going and cool to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask for his help again.
Rich Geldreich
I could not recommend anyone more than James McCarthy. He is very diligent, detail oriented, and a tremendous negotiator. He always represents his clients best interest and never takes his eye off the ball. James is the best there is, and would recommend him to anyone, anytime.
Tom Goldsmith
Jim has been an outstanding representative for me and my family in our search and selling of our home. He takes the time to get to know his clients and what their needs are. Combines that with potential sales in the areas we were looking to find the best house that fit us. The 2 best qualities I found in him is his patient and honesty. In my opinion, you couldn't find a more personable and qualified individual to represent a prospective seller/buyer of real estate
Russell Bertolli
I have known James since 1992 and have always been inspired by his integrity, confidence, and professionalism in everything he does.
In the world of Realtors, he is the most driven by CUSTOMER success of any that I have met. I have seen and experienced several situations where he has gone WELL over and above his standard job description to gain a major win for his clients.
He is much more than just an incredibly bright Realtor; he is also a solid counselor, businessman, and people person. Rarely do you find compassion and intelligence at this high of a level in the same person. He's the ideal problem-solver. He listens to each client’s needs, assesses every situation with detective-like scrutiny, and will always give several options before advising clients of his professional recommendation.
I would go to James for any and all real estate needs and questions. He's one of the very few trustworthy men I know who when faced with an opportunity, will HONESTLY put aside any personal gain for the sacrifice of doing right by his clients.
Jeff Woods
Jim sets a new standard as an agent and property manager. He cares about people and is not out to make a quick buck at anyone elses expense. Jim has been patiently working with us this last year as we look for our first house. He has been very helpful in providing us with resources for financial advise, and market information. We really enjoy working with Jim and can't recomend him highly enough. We trust him 100%, Jim is realiable, personable and a true profesional. I would recommend Jim's work to anyone.
Corina Carrasco
Jim has been a huge support during the purchase on my investment property as well as being there to bounce ideas and brainstorm. You can tell that he worked for Nordstrom previously as his customer service goes above and beyond any expectations! I will be trusting and calling on his services for many more years to come and highly recommend him.
Brian Johnston
Jim excels as a real estate agent. Not only does he go an extra mile on anything asked of him, but does it with honesty, savvy, and professionalism. When other parties involved with my home transaction were floundering or holding up progress, Jim was quick to get to the bottom of things and keep them moving along. I highly recommend him.
Brandon Idol
Jim is a great realtor! He spent a lot of time assessing my needs and showing me properties that fit my needs. Additionally, he is extremely personable and made the process enjoyable. Finally, he is a professional of high integrity. He provided me with accurate information and let me know when he thought things were not in my best interest.
Holly Ferraro
James is a hard working, honest professional who treats clients with respect and dignity.
John Hammond
The yellow brick road for sellers in the market is not without potholes and dead ends. We are so glad we had James as our navigator when we sold both our properties. His professionalism and experience is unmatched. So many decisions and questions came up that we never would've foreseen, but James talked us through all of them and gave us great guidance. We recommend his service to all our friends.
