James was great, very honest and upfront about the market and our budget. We were able to buy our dream home with his help. Couldn't have made it through today's market without him. I'm recommending to all my friends and family!

James is FANTASTIC! He listened to our wants and needs and found us the PERFECT home! He's knowledgeable, very experienced, and incredibly laid back which makes him a great realtor for anyone in any situation. I can't recommend James enough. If I could give me more than 5 stars, I'd give him a million. You will never go wrong hiring James as your Realtor. I will for 100% of my real estate needs in the future. HE'S AMAZING.
