James Frank

Keller Williams Preferred Realty

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
My name is James Frank and I work as a full time agent in and around Chicago and the northern surrounding suburbs. I live in Morton Grove with my wife, son, and Goodlendoodle, Rufus.

I love my job; real estate really is a passion for me. I love providing guidance to new or experienced home buyers and sellers. I have never been one to push people into buying something. I believe that when the right property presents itself, things typically fall into place. I have a low pressure sales approach but am vigilant in watching the markets and alerting my clients of changing market trends.

I carefully study the comparable properties and present a detailed analysis of what I think a property is worth and what I think a good initial offer should be. I truly eat, sleep, and breathe real estate -- let my passion help you in your next real estate venture and beyond!

You should quit searching around for a realtor, and go with James--you absolutely won't be disappointed with his guidance. James was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish: extremely accessible throughout a grueling, multi-month long home search, a friendly and easygoing, not-pushy attitude, and a real genuine depth of knowledge about real estate (for us, this 3rd point was so important--my wife and I were going into home-buying blind, and so often, we would only see the surface level reason why a particular home seemed nice or seemed meh. James had the insight to always point out negatives that could effect us in re-sale, or positives we weren't readily thinking about).

Above all, James just truly cared about us finding a good home. That sounds like a cringey cliche, but he's clearly a man who gets genuine satisfaction out of helping people find homes for their families, and that interest in our wellbeing real shone through during the process.

11 out of 5 stars, this is your realtor, folks!

James made my entire home buying experience enjoyable. He is so kind and funny. He was so helpful through the entire process from beginning to end. He still reaches out to me from time to time to see how my family and I are doing. He’s absolutely wonderful. I will be recommending him to everyone.
Thank you, James.

Best. Realtor. Ever.

James was a godsend. He is incredibly competent, experienced, fantastically responsive, and reliably on top of every detail.

In addition to all that he is just a nice guy. A nice guy who is absolutely determined to protect his clients' interests and head off any problems.

I will be recommending him to everyone forever.

Working with James was not something you would imagine as stressful because of the hassle in finding a home. James is overall just a great person and a great friend which made working with him easy and enjoyable. As an agent, James is very professional and genuinely seeks the best for his clients. He goes beyond doing his job, to ensure that we are truly satisfied with our new home .I would say he is the best among the best !

Prompt, punctual, honest, no frills and pretty fun to work with. Has sound knowledge of the real estate market. Helped us in making an informed decision rather than "pushing" us into making quick decisions.
