We were in the process of moving back from Shanghai to Michigan after 8.5 years of overseas assignment. We found James through Chase bank partners and worked with him closely via online for a couple months. After many property videos he uploaded for us, we finally locked down on a direction the day before Christmas. Throughout the inspection and closing process, James worked diligently and provided us a great home buying experience. We appreciate his upstanding character and his passion for real estate business, and fully trust him for a long-term collaboration for future opportunities.

I've never understood why the word 'realtor' was spelled the way it is until I chose James Gillen to be my realtor. This guy REALly TORe through the rest of the competition. Are you looking for a new house? Wouldn't you like the process to be easy and fun instead of some fast-paced, stress-filled nightmare? You should give James a call. Throughout the whole process, James was very knowledgeable and professional. He adds value to every viewing by providing insight on the area, key features to look for, and details to avoid. As a first-time home buyer, it was important to me that I got a house I was happy with, despite the current expeditious and high-priced market. James was very patient with me and assured me that we'd keep looking until we found the right house. When we finally found that house, he helped me craft the perfect competitive bid. One that would win, but not cost me my life savings. Even the seller's realtor stated that James' experience and expertise was displayed thorou

James is an awesome realtor and very knowledgeable. He’ll go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure you’re happy. James made the buying process easy because he was always on top of things front day one. Communication was key to closing our deal no matter what time of day it was he was there for us. Thank you again for an exceptional experience!

My partner and I recently completed our third home purchase with the exceptional assistance of our realtor, James Gillen. James has consistently gone above and beyond to make our home-buying experiences seamless and enjoyable.

Two of these purchases involved my direct participation, and I can personally attest to James' tenacity and dedication in finding us the perfect homes for our needs, while staying within our budget. His in-depth knowledge of the Michigan housing market and his professional connections allowed us to explore a vast array of properties and make well-informed decisions.

Apart from his expertise in the real estate realm, James has demonstrated genuine care for his clients' well-being. He is not only our go-to realtor but has become a valued friend over time. His support for my small business has been invaluable and showcases his commitment to building lasting relationships with clients.

When working with a realtor, trust, and communication are vital – and James exc

James recently aided the company I work for in finding our new commercial space for both office and shop use. Because of the need for both a high quality office area as well as shop space for a variety of heavy equipment needs this task was not an easy one. James however only needed two showings to find the perfect space. His communication is second to no one and his professionalism is above and beyond. He made this process one of the easiest our company has dealt with and being one of many offices all across the country that is no small feat. I would highly recommend James for both residential and commercial needs to any one or any company no matter the size. Thanks again James!

As a first time home buyer, James made my process seamless and enjoyable. His expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, and energy (!!!!) led me to the perfect home in a beautiful neighborhood. James was proactive in finding houses that fit my vibe and had the knowledge to formulate a competitive offer. I am extremely grateful for his work ethic, patience, and encouragement as we navigated my specific requests in a challenging market. James's genuine interest in helping his clients find a home they are proud of is what sets him apart from others. I cannot recommend James highly enough and can confidently say he is the best in the game. Thank you so much, James!!

I had the pleasure of working with James for over six months. I truly value his professionalism, amazing real state knowledge, and his great talent on advising me to look for my first home. James is very punctual with time and always available when I needed to see new houses in the market. He always worked around my work schedule and made the process very easy. I have been very lucky to have James as my real state advisor and I highly recommend him if you are searching for your dream house. James is the BEST!!!

James made the challenge of discovering a home a comfortable and enjoyable process. His ability to truly listen and understand what was desired, while providing professional guidance was remarkable. He help find a quality house, in a great community, that is close to work and activities that are enjoyed every day. That went a long way toward turning a house into a home.
