“James was a joy to work with and he helped me find the perfect home. Working with James was especially great as a first-time home buyer. I had absolutely no idea how the process worked and James guided me through every step, recommending excellent mortgage brokers, home inspectors, lawyers, etc. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and highly accessible when I needed him. He was also there to support me when things felt hard or scary. I wholeheartedly recommend working with James! He’s an excellent realtor and a really great person.”

“James is a real go-getter! I was looking for someone who would go the extra mile to help me find the perfect house and he fit the bill perfectly. He was able to take my loose ideas and create a concrete plan of attack which led me to my very first rental property. If you’re looking for an agent who will work with you to realize your dreams, then look no further!” - Alexander Lee
