Working with James was an absolute delight. He's friendly and prompt, responds back in a timely manner when you call him. It's patient and caring. Seems to really want to make sure you get what you're looking for. And I love my new home. Spend a lot of time out on the back porch looking over the lake.

James was fantastic from start to finish and was very open about the good the bad and the ugly on the road to what could happen during the sale of our home. As fate would have it, it seemed like most of the "this almost never happens, but COULD" did come up, but even when they did, James was excellent at helping us navigate through them. Even during the last phases of closing, we experienced a sudden death in the family and my wife and I had to sign the closing documents on opposite sides of the country. Despite how sudden it was, it seemed like only a few texts and a phone call with him to get accommodations in place as to not delay the house closing. For all the things that could go wrong, James helped make it an extremely smooth process!

James is an outstanding realtor who guided me through the Sarasota/Bradenton real estate market to find a home I love! He is a highly disciplined professional who pays attention to details and has excellent negotiation skills. He quickly perceived my home needs and the environment I was drawn to, which shortened the home shopping experience! James stays on top of things, and his knowledge of the area helped him to select homes quickly, which made the whole process of finding a home so much easier!
James is disciplined and focused, staying on top of the market and your needs. He is a likable, honest, and soft-spoken professional with a tremendous ethical approach and a positive attitude. Even after the house sale, he was there to answer questions and make recommendations!
You will enjoy working with James and the results he brings!

Professional, considerate, friendly, and communicative. James approached our home buying experience with our needs, wants, and benefit at the forefront of the opportunity, ensuring that we we aware of and informed about every step of the home buying process. From our first meeting, through closing on our home, James’ support and cordial demeanor made our experience much more enjoyable than we anticipated. We would absolutely recommend him to our family, friends, acquaintances, or anyone whom we knew was in search of a home.

I am entirely grateful for the hard work and guidance I received from James Tassel in locating and purchasing my new home in Sarasota! Under time constraints, in addition to moving from out of state, James made finding the right home in today's market seem simple. James treated me like a million-dollar client even though I was looking for a modest retirement villa. Confidence and knowledge are welcomed traits while going through such a transition. I feel very fortunate to have worked with James and look forward to working with him again.

James is the best. Very professional, knowledgeable, caring. Helpful in all areas from community knowledge, to finding answers, to quickly responding. Moving from IN to FL. James made the process easy. He went above and beyond is not enough.... Scheduling showings alot of them the six days we were in, too putting in our bid, to advising right or wrong to negotiating for us. He scheduled, went to and followed through with all inspections and land survey. There were several, some sever issues which he schedule and made sure got done and done right.

It was a pleasure to work with James to find my new home in Florida. I had contacted him remotely from Boston prior to coming to Sarasota to spend two months. He helped me by keeping properties in my price range front and center in my inbox. When I arrived I fell in love with the Condo Community where I was renting. James showed me about six or seven properties for sale here and we chose one that I loved. Throughout the bidding process he provided good counseling and once the offer was accepted he helped me find inspectors, mortgage brokers, lawyers, etc. By the time he accompanied me to settlement he felt like a firiend and I'm looking forward to a followup drink to celebrate.

James did an excellent job selling our home in Nokomis FL. When we decided to sell our Florida home and relocate to Kentucky, we hired James since he was our agent when we originally purchased the home and he helped us find it. He did a great job of marketing our home by listing it on multiple websites, holding an open house and using his network connections. The photographs and description included in the listing highlighted the features of the home very well. James followed up on all the showings to solicit feedback that was very informative. Although the market was not favorable to sellers when we listed our home, we were able to sell it at a price that worked for us. I would highly recommend James to anybody looking to sell (or buy) a home in the Sarasota area. He is friendly, knowledgeable and a very hard worker.

Professorial, honest, care, James definitely went above and beyond his job. 5 stars really isn’t enough to give it to him. We found James online just like the way we search for good restaurants on Google. James was ranked number 1 with all the good positive reviews. James's excellence is really solid and consistent. Following are the things that I think James has been consistently exceeded: 1. Expertise-we all know that the quickest way to know a person’s level of knowledge is by asking tons of questions (I didn’t do it on purpose. I couldn’t recall the specific questions that I’ve asked James but I was very impressed every time when I got the response from James. His expertise and timely response makes him really reliable. 2. Timely communication – James has so many clients at hands but I was amazed by how he was still able to respond to my emails and phone calls in a very timely manner. It’s not just about the deliver on time; it’s the accuracy of his response and the knowledge he has that really makes the whole home buying process smooth. James will definitely be our first choice in our next house ! Thank you James!'

If you are looking for a Real Estate Agent, James is your guy! James has been the BEST Real Estate Agent that we have ever worked with! He is honest, kind, thorough, trustworthy, organized and just an absolute awesome guy! We were looking for homes in the Sarasota area and he found a development that we fell in love with. He listened to what our needs were and he nailed it with the model that we chose. We live in Minnesota and this will be our ‘winter home’ we get away too! Living out of state, James sent us monthly and sometimes bi-weekly updates of the progress of our home building with videos. His customer service and communication far outreached any agent we have ever dealt with. We cannot express enough the fabulous experience we had with James! He is beyond 5 stars! ⭐️ Thanks James for everything, we are so very grateful!!

Over the years, I have used James as both a buyer and a seller. I cannot say enough good things about his dedication to his clients.

We were thrilled to have connected with James as we set out to find a home in the Sarasota area. Following an initial orientation that helped us get acquainted with the area, James showed us both existing homes and new developments. After deciding to pursue new construction, we relied on James' expertise to guide us through the process, from commitment and ground-breaking, to closing. As remote buyers living 950 miles from all the action, James was awesome in helping us keep tabs on construction progress. James, THANK YOU for all you did to make this, on the whole, an incredibly positive home buying experience!

James was the most competent and thorough real estate agent we have ever worked with and we have worked with many, many, good ones over the years. He was %100 reliable and even did some of the buyers agents work when necessary. He was helpful in setting the asking price and was spot on as we were offered that price within 2 days! It was $50,000 higher than any other unit in our building. He knew the market values in Sarasota very well.
We will be recommending him to our friends who are considering selling their homes in the Sarasota area.

We couldn’t provide a higher recommendation for James Tassell, Realtor. Like many, we had decided to move to Sarasota from the Northeast. As we prepared to pursue real estate opportunities in the area we encountered the well-documented, unprecedented real estate environment of low supply/high demand. While this drove prices up, it also made for a highly competitive field of buyers. We knew that there was a strong likelihood that we would be making offers on houses “sight unseen”. We needed a realtor who was responsive, understood our needs and wants, and could communicate clearly. We interviewed several realtors and chose James for exactly those qualities and he did not disappoint. James found us a house in a highly desirable neighborhood and utilized his “high tech” remote video walk through to make us comfortable to make an offer. This deal was further complicated as it was a “short sale” and James prepared and educated us on that difficult process. Always responsive, professional and thoughtful we couldn’t be happier with our purchase and with the professional services James provided. I have purchased and sold several homes and James is the best Realtor I have ever worked with!!

James is an exceptional realtor. We were moving across the state and looking at a new construction. Not only did he help us navigate the contract during the holidays but after we signed he went to the site every couple of weeks and sent us videos of the progress. When we had some concerns he ensured that he spoke with the site manager and the builder to make sure our minds were at ease. We now have our dream home and our family couldn’t be more pleased, and all of that wouldn’t have been possible without James’ professionalism and caring approach to his craft.

James is everything anyone would want in a real estate agent. He is knowledgeable, hard working, persistent, and effective. He is also flexible and patient. He listens to his clients as far as their needs. He will offer an opinion if asked but doesn't try to sway his clients.
This is the second time we have used James. Last year it was to buy a house, and he found us a great deal on a beautiful home. This time it was to sell my father's house, which he accomplished in four days at a great price. Both times he stayed involved, helpful, and active, even after the contracts were signed.
I recommend James without hesitation, and will use him again myself next time I am in the market.

I highly recommend James Tassel! James was so incredibly helpful and professional. He went way above and beyond in helping our family.
We were selling the condo of our deceased family member. The condo was in Florida and the rest of our family was out of state, across the country actually. James was always responsive and professional. He texted me timely updates and always got right back to me. Over a period of more than five months, he helped us coordinate several repairs needed in the condo. On multiple occasions, James recommended workers, met delivery people, cleaning crews and workers. He even forwarded mail on several occasions. I always knew I could count on him and he always did what he said he’d do.
When it came time to put the condo on the market, James had great instincts for pricing and negotiation. We had multiple offers and the unit sold for over the asking price. If you are considering working with James, do not miss out on the opportunity. I would work with him again without hesitation!

5 star experience working with James Tassell. I had little time to find a rental property, small budget, I’m out of state, and there is a pandemic! I didn’t think it could happen and was losing hope on the idea, but James helped me find the perfect property and answer all my questions. From my first call to close, it took less than 2 months. His customer service skills and willingness to help was exactly what I needed to make this work- texting and quick on email was very helpful. He sent extra videos of the property and measurements, which was also very helpful as an out of state buyer. Very grateful for the experience.

I highly recommend James Tassell for any real estate needs that you have. He is incredibly professional and on top of all aspects of the transaction. From the very start, James consistently kept us aware of all properties that met the criteria that we were looking for. When we found several that we were interested in, he made the proper arrangements and accompanied us on our tour to see them. He has excellent knowledge of the area and provided very informative feedback pertaining to the city along with specifics of many of the communities.
When we found the property that we desired, James helped us to determine what a good and fair offer would be. He advised us of all of the steps we needed to complete and even recommended companies who could provide the services for us. Each and every company he recommended was “first class” and did a great job. Based on the guidance provided by James, our transaction could not have gone any better.
Lastly, James is very personable and friendly. His genuine demeanor is noticed right away. He is a no pressure guy. The property either “does it” for you or it “does not”. He will give you his thoughts if you ask but, presents the properties for you to form your own opinion.
Thank you James for helping us to find the wonderful property we were looking for.

James was terrific to work with. We started out long distance - we emailed him homes we thought looked right for us online. He responded quickly with additional info on the home(s) and appraised us of things particular to Florida homes and condos, things we had no idea of. With his help, we narrowed our list down and used his recommendation for getting pre-approved. Glad we did. Once in Florida, James drove us to our list of possible homes and helped us ask the right questions. He was persistent in getting them answered and we felt comfortable flying back up north with an offer in play. He diligently followed through on all our sticking points and we ended up purchasing a home we love for the right price. Completely pleased with his professionalism and integrity.

Excellent market knowledge
Flexibility in his schedule
A willingness to look at properties for us and send pictures
A good sense of humor
Patience
We live in the northeast and discovered Longboat Key on a family vacation 15 years ago. As a family, we enjoyed LBK’S natural beauty, accessibility, variety of activities in the area, and the relaxing pace to the area.
About four years ago, we decided to look at vacation properties on LBK. Our first call was to James based on a Google search...the conversation went something like this:
“My wife and I want to explore condos on LBK, it’s exploratory and may take a few years to make a decision either way. Also, we don’t know much about the market and we will need to get educated and will need someone in the market to help us with that...this will likely be a long-term sales process.”
James responded, with “No problem, I’m happy to help!”
James set us up on the Dwell website, and as he built an appreciation for what we were looking for, he would send us information of properties coming on the market. We made a number of trips to LBK over the four years to relax and enjoy all that LBK has to offer as well as to meet with James. Over the four years we had an active dialogue with James via phone calls, emails and texting. We made a number of trips to the area and James was always available to show us properties.
We finally found that place we know we had to have. James’ market knowledge was invaluable as we negotiated the purchase price, he walked us through the closing process, went to the property for our home inspection while we were up north, and joined us for our walk through and closing. James was a great resource for us through our process and continues to send us emails on activity in our community. We are very happy we found James to help us and now consider him a good friend.

It was a pleasure to work with James. He was very professional, highly responsive and to the point focusing on our specific needs and wants. After gathering our information, he searched for homes that matched our criteria and had them lined up for us to see while we were in town. After looking at homes on the market on day one, we ended up buying a home that was almost finished being built in Lakewood Ranch. It had almost everything we asked for on our list, and James was able to negotiate with the builder for those things that were missing. We ended up with exactly what we wanted at a great price. We have referred James to our friends and family, and will contact him in the future if the need ever arises.

We can’t say enough about James Tassell as a realtor and as an exceptional person. James is a great listener and as a result we were shown so many homes that were just what we were looking for. His knowledge about all of the different areas we looked at really helped us to connect to the right place. Since this was a long-distance move, he was so outreaching and text and called regularly to keep us abreast of what was going on. He continuously went the extra mile and was our surrogate for us by checking on everything that had to do with the house and talked to all the right people at the right time to be sure everything went smoothly. Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to work with. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive throughout the process, James Tassell is your agent!

James is very responsive and thorough. He anticipates issues before they arise and he quickly follows-up on every aspect to ensure a smooth sale throughout the process including post sale. This was the second time I used James to handle a home sale because he is very capable and a pleasure to work with.
