The best realtor in the area! James and his team showed my family and I the most professional and personal care during the sale of our home. Will definitely use him again as well as recommend to friends/family.

James was extremely easy to work with and very kind by helping me figure out things I wasn’t familiar with. I certainly would suggest if you are looking for a good realtor you look into working with James.

My husband and I were on the search for a new home in the Murrieta area, and being from Burbank we had no clue where to begin. Luckily, my husband searched the web and found James! James was so helpful throughout the whole process, patient, great communicator and made sure to always answer any questions we had. James helped with both selling our condo in Burbank and buying our new home in Murrieta. For the market being how it is, it was surprisingly smooth process. We are so glad we have chosen Murrieta to raise our little family, and so grateful James was able to help with the process! We love our new home! Thanks James!

James was patient with me, he gave me the very best advice from day 1, and empowered me to make decisions with his guidance yet allowed me to have the ultimate say , he was never pushy, he's knowledgeable, professional and was always on top of the sale of my home and purchase of my new home. I felt very informed at all times and it was easy to work with him and his team. I chose him over personal friends/family to work with simply because I did my homework and he seemed like the best, it paid off we were able to close under 30 days, and I got top dollar for my house, Thank you James for making my Dream House a reality!

Where do I even begin? James is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
Even before we ever met, from our early communication messages, he really makes you feel like he will be there to assist with all of your real estate needs. James is someone that is very passionate about real estate and taking good care of his clients. This was all shown during our home selling experience!
Not only did he walk us through every detail and answer all of our questions during the sale, but even after the sale when essentially he no longer was obligated to help with things. He still was there to lend a helping hand and has saved us on more than one occasion. He is a great person and if you are in need of a caring, knowledgeable realtor, look no further. Even his team members that we met along the way to help with aspects of the sale were incredible. Selling your home and moving can be a very stressful time but, the way their team executed the process was amazing. We have found our forever realtor.
James is the best choice by far! Thank you again for everything :)

Sold for over asking in 2 days with multiple offers!
James negotiated $50,000 under asking price on my new home!
I had the pleasure of working with James on selling my home and purchasing a new home. If you are looking for someone who is experienced and on top of everything, him and his team are the best. Always available and puts your priorities first. He is completely transparent throughout the buying and selling process. I highly recommend giving James a shot, you won't regret it!

Was referred by a close friend to use James and he did not disappoint. Even in a competitive market, we learned that who represents you highly makes a difference. His connections and experience in his industry is superior and it shows through in finding the right fit for you to escrow and after. I’ve never had a experience where the realtor followed up after close even in the proceeding months. He treated us like family and consistently went the extra mile which made the process A TON less stressful and sometimes that’s exactly what you need in this high demand climate we’re in. We would 100% use him again for buying or selling a home and highly recommend him to our closest family and friends for a smooth and professional experience.

James helped sell my moms home for us and helped my sister-in-law buy a home so we have worked with him on both sides of being a seller and a buyer and I would use him over and over again and encourage all of my friends and family to do the same. He has a great attention to detail, makes you a priority, he is very knowledgeable and he really cares about his clients. He isn’t just trying to make a deal, he wants you to be happy with the transaction and he truly wants the best for you. If you’re looking for an agent, you can stop your search now. You will not be disappointed!

James Shelby did a fantastic job representing us as buyers. He communicated with us every step of the way, even when he was "off the clock".

James and I have worked together for years, now. As a mortgage broker, our company works with hundreds of agents, and I'll just say: there's a reason why James has always represented me on my personal real estate transactions.

James was hands down the best real estate agent we could have asked for. He was willing to work with our unusual schedule to see homes for multiple hours on the weekend and was patient every step of the way. When we had questions he explained them in a way that was easy for us to understand and was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. I’ll be recommending all my friends and family to him for their homes needs in the area and would definitely recommend him to anyone who asked. Thanks again James appreciate you brother! You earned it!

James was assigned as my Realtor after a very unfortunate experience with another realtor from a different company. What I can about James is that he has made my first time home buying experience nothing short of amazing! He made himself readily available at all hours of the day and was always able to answer every and any questions I had about the process. He is very respectful, professional, and easy to work with! He was very fast and was diligent about getting offers out to homes in a timely manner. We were what felt like 0/10 on homes and at some point it felt as if we didn’t stand a chance at getting a home and at times hopeless. James made us feel confident and reassured us that we will land a home and we did! We’re currently in escrow for a beautiful home and can’t wait to fill it with memories for years to come with my family. I would 100% recommended using James and would love to use him again in the future if I ever decide to purchase another home!

I highly recommend James to all my friends and family looking to sell a house, quick at list price or above. He really goes the extra mile and it shows in everything he does!! He really set my expectations high. Great job James! Keep doing what you do best. The sky is the limit!

Very professional, best communication & really listened to what we wanted. James helped us sell our first home for over asking price and helped us purchase our dream home. Our dream home had approximately 20 other offers and with James and his great skill we were able to secure our home.

It was a pleasure working with James Shelby. We tried selling our home previously with someone else and it didn’t end up selling. After deciding to try again we reached out to James because he was referred to us by a friends friend. After meeting with him we knew things were going to be different. His professionalism and plan for the process was seamless. Just a couple of days on the market we got multiple offers. Ended up selling our home above listing price with no hiccups. We highly recommend the Shelby Sold team and will be using James for any future buying or selling!
