A dedicated professional! I have had the privilege of working with James for a few years now. James knows real estate. Whether representing the seller, buyer (or both) James always uses his skill and vast knowledge of the transaction for the benefit of his client. I consider myself lucky to call James a trusted friend and colleague.

I have bought a home and I have sold my recent home with James Cottrell, Riverside Ca.| Exp Realty of California Inc. His attention to detail and knowledge and experience shows in his work. James always says he’s on your time and never have I felt pressured in any way with him representing me. He’s always working behind the scenes making sure everything is happening the way it should happen and if you have questions, he will answer all of them until you feel comfortable with things that may arise. When you are buying a home, you definitely need a realtor on your side. I recommend the best, James Cottrell.
