Going into first time home buying you are invetiably going to hear from others who have had poor experiences, felt swindled, or never had a full grasp on the process. I of course had my reservations and weariness going into everything.
Jim turned all of those things around within a matter of a few meetings/viewings. What I appreciated most is that he allowed me to set the tone of the process. I was trying to see as many places as I could as quick as possibly outside of working full time. I was in somewhat of a time crunch with a lease coming up soon. He was always available and was never pushy or felt false.
Another thing I really appreciated was that he was also available after everything was said and done. I still had some questions about a handful of things and he would call me right away to provide advice. Highly recommend regardless of your stage in the process or timeline.
Jim understood how important it was to sell our home and to find a home that allowed us to start a new chapter in our lives. He offered great insight and was available to support us during the process. We are excited to close on our next home and to make it our forever home. Thanks.
Jim has everything you need in a realtor, and more. Not only does he have decades of knowledge and experience, but he's professional, tactful, has a network of "helpers" for anything you may need to get your house ready to sell. If we hadn't moved out of state then we wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
We were informed every step of th way and he was very knowledgeable! I really appreciate everything he did for us!!
Him was very knowledgeable when it came to explaining me the process of buying a home. He was quick to work and never hesitated showing homes I was interested in. He helped make the process fly through and helped me even at the odd hours of the day. It was a wonderful, quick and easy process.
Jim was very knowledgeable when it came time for us to get our house ready to sell. We listened to his recommendations, and I'm certain that's why we had multiple offers over asking price. I trust Jim and his professional experience. He surely knows this business well! If your contemplating who to work with, I recommend that you make the call and talk to him!
He handled all aspects of the sale of our house and our new purchase with great care and professionalism!
I was appointed Executor to my grandmother's Estate. Having an agent that I trust was crucial for me. Mr. Acklin was referred to me by someone I trust immensely. When I met Mr. Acklin, I was greated with knowledge but most of all kindness, empathy and patience. Mr. Acklin was available to answer any questions I had and helped me with resources when I needed them. Once the propery was listed and because I had time to sell, Jim refused to accept anything less then what he felt my family and property deserved. I never felt any pressure by Jim. He helped me and my family with making a difficult situation as easy as possible and I'm truly grateful for that.

I would definitely recommend Jim to anyone I know is looking for a realtor. I know that he would take as good of care of them as he did my husband and I.
This was our 4th transaction handled by Jim Acklin. As with the last 3 he was excellent. Id recommend him to anyone without a second thought. Outstanding to work with.
Jim Acklin was most help every step of the way. Follow up with my best interest. I’d highly recommend to everyone needing help in selling and buying a house. Provides helpful information throughout the process.
JIM WAS ALWAYS A PHONE CALL AWAY, EASY TO WORK WITH, UP FRONT, NO BS.
Jim was great to work with, there were some challenges along the way but Jim made suggestions to move things forward. He always kept me informed of the progress and was able to answer any questions I had. I never felt pressured and was always reassured "we would get this done", which we did!
Jim Acklin went above and beyond our expectations during the process of selling our home. He was always readily available to speak to us when we had questions. He took care of details of prepping our house that we could do not since we had already left the area. He made great recommendations for contractor services that saved us a lot of money in repairs. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering selling their home.
We are extremely pleased with Jim’s performance. He’s very kind, honest and kept us in the loop the entire time we had our house on the market. He worked hard to sell our home, and held open houses every weekend our house was listed. I trust him and will recommend him to my family and friends who are in the market to buy or sell.
Jim Acklin is very friendly and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to help streamline our sale and requirements. He always gave us his full attention and listened to any concerns we had and was always very encouraging. We would definitely recommend him to anyone in the future, especially other family members.

Outstanding agent! He was great to work with... He really strived to understand my requirements and had excellent knowledge of the process. I highly recommend Jim and would use him again!
Highly recommend Jim Acklin!
He stood out helping us buy the home at a great price and when it came to selling it, he immediately stood out again above the competition with his plan for sale.Jim helped coordinate getting the home ready for sale and is an excellent example of the value an experienced realtor can add to the sale of a property.
Overall, Jim Acklin is why I'll always recommend someone get the right realtor involved with the sale of your home. People that try "For sale by owner" don't know what they're missing. Like anything important in life that involves money, hire the right professional. Jim is that guy. His knowledge, helpfulness, planning, and ability to politely point out areas of the home to improve prior to sale, helped tremendously in providing a smooth sale.
Lastly, his ability to negotiate, and market the property, lead to an outstanding outcome of multiple offers, and a price we thought unachievable. Thank you to all involved, but mostly to Jim for his tireless efforts to ensure this property was ready for sale, and once in contract, owned the process start to finish.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the superb level of service provided by Jim Acklin. He simply served me with the spirit of excellence! He was diligent with follow through as he kept me informed every step of the way.
Jim is very attentive and has the ability to connect with people vey easily, which was very important to me!
It was truly refreshing to witness / benefit from such professionalism, vast knowledge of the industry and excellent service from the time I contacted him until we closed and beyond.
The sensitivity Jim exhibits to his customers’ needs while working diligently to exceed their expectations reflects credit up on him and the Coldwell Banker Danforth brand. It was absolutely the best experience I have ever had with a real estate agent!

We met Jim long before we started our home search. We liked him instantly. He had worked with a close relative who always spoke highly of him. So he was a natural go-to guy when we anxiously decided to jump into the volatile Northwest housing market. And we got so much more than we bargained for. We would have asked him to be our broker, even without the personal recommendation, because he left such a good impression on us outside of a business context. And then we saw him in action: Great guy. Terrific worth ethic. Delivered way above and beyond what we thought was possible. We couldn't be happier with "our guy," and we can't wait to recommend him to others.
Homebuyers ask a lot of dumb questions. But Jim seems to have an infinite supply of patience and wisdom, along with impeccable knowledge of the local and regional housing markets. (And great insight on the national scene, too!) Buying a home anywhere in the Northwest is a huge challenge right now, and we've heard many horror stories about buyers striking out multiple times due to the market's unimaginable, cut-throat competitiveness. But we never felt like we were in the dark about anything that had to do with house hunting, financing, escrow, making an offer, or any of the million little steps it takes to close on a home. Jim shed light on every aspect of this complicated and unfamiliar process, calmed our many fears, and walked us to the finish line with confidence and final-boss-level competence.
Jim is always quick to reply to any text, email, voicemail, SOS flare, etc. He has thorough knowledge of the housing market, and he gives great answers to our many questions. We like him as both an agent and a person. He's the kind of guy you could enjoy playing poker with one day and then will expertly help you buy or sell a house the next. We really enjoyed every step of this complicated process because of Jim's excellent stewardship.
This process couldn't have gone any better for us, and that is entirely because of Jim's patience, knowledge, expertise, and commitment.
Personal knowledge of Jim,s work ethics & several friends ho had used Jim to purchase a home gave me full confidence I would get the best deal possible.
What a GREAT team !!! They don't miss a thing.
What more can I say .... Fantastic service.
From start to finish, the entire team ws great !
we give him another great big thank you
