Jim was amazing! He was responsive and attentive in showing us exactly what we were looking for. Even though we weren't planning to purchase right away, he was patient and offered no pressure. Once we decided to purchase, he was consistently helpful and accommodating. Our daughter will be in the market next year, and we will certainly be calling on Jim. Best realtor experience we've ever had.

Jim was patient, knowledgeable, super responsive, and either had every answer or gave us a resource that could better inform. He answered every single question, took us to every single house we wanted to see (ALL over the map without judgement) and was incredibly professional, kind, and honest. He never led us astray or suggested a property or deal that wouldn't suit us. If you want a hard-working, genuinely good person of upstanding character, hire Jim. He gave us the best possible experience. Will always recommend. A++
