“James served as our buyer's agent and he has a wealth of knowledge and expertise about the areas in which were looking in the Richmond suburbs and we weren't at all familiar with these areas so it was inordinately helpful. He's amazingly responsive and very forthright. He's also an excellent negotiator. He will work hard for you. I highly recommend James Strum.”
