Seller's review

2 days ago

Sensitive to the way my wife and I wanted to work in selling our home.

We hired an agent prior to working with Jim. This agent dictated the things we needed to do to ready our house for sale and for the most part we complied. However, our house was stucco and the agent was insistent we hire an engineering firm to inspect the house even though we had a familiar contractor perform an evaluation and there was no evidence of damage. The last straw, we had several cats that left odors in the house which we felt were controlled with attentive cleaning. Nevertheless, the agent refused to list the house on multiple’s unless we hired a firm to do an enzyme analysis of cat urine. Jim on the other hand was a good listener. He also was a resource for market knowledge and valuable suggestions for listing, showing and selling our home. But, he was patient and amenable to our concerns. We didn’t always agree, but in those cases he would offer the potential downside of doing things our way and allowed us to decide. We found Jim to be a wealth of knowledge and experience, a support in the nasty business of selling your home and a most pleasant person to work with. He found a buyer in little more than a month who paid 91% of our asking price. We would recommend him to anyone.
