Jo is a Pro’s Pro

Jo was extremely helpful throughout our entire process of finding a new home, which was well over a year. Jo was always quick to respond to a call/text, was extremely flexible in working around our schedule, and always took value in what we communicated to him. His extensive market knowledge put us in the best possible position for our future. We cannot recommend him enough, and we will use Jo for all of our future real estate needs!

A Realtor Who Goes Above and Beyond—Even After Closing

A Realtor Who Goes Above and Beyond—Even After Closing

I didn’t just find a house—I found the home, and I truly believe that wouldn’t have happened without Jim. From the very beginning, Jim listened—really listened—to what I wanted and never rushed me or tried to push me into something that didn’t feel right. Every question I had (and I had a lot), he answered with patience and clarity. What really set Jim apart was his background in construction. During a showing, he recognized a rare radiant heating system most agents would have overlooked—and took the time to thoroughly check it. That’s when he discovered two zones weren’t working. Instead of glossing over it, he negotiated to have them repaired before closing, saving me from a major headache. The same thing happened with the septic system—when inspections revealed issues, Jim stepped in again and successfully negotiated a full replacement. Jim didn't stop working after he closed the deal, either. The septic repair wasn't complete by the time I closed, but he knew I wanted to get into the house. He continued to follow up with the excavation company and electrician to ensure the work got completed, weeks after I took ownership. Jim doesn’t just help you buy a home—he protects you while you’re doing it, and after. I felt confident every step of the way, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

    Proof That Good Realtors Still Exist

Proof That Good Realtors Still Exist

We went into our house search determined to find exactly what we wanted, and honestly, that didn’t involve the “typical realtor experience.” I called on several properties and quickly ran into agents who seemed more focused on selling themselves than the homes they represented. Some even wanted us to sign on with them before really discussing properties. Then I called about a listing and met Jim. I came in with a long list of very specific questions, and instead of giving me a sales pitch, Jim gave me honest answers. He was upfront about the scope of the project, took time to explain things instead of pushing a sale, and made a genuine connection with us. That particular property didn’t work out, but I already knew who I’d call when we found the right one. When we eventually purchased our home in Rothbury, we did it remotely while my husband was in Alaska, and Jim somehow made the process feel easier than some in-state purchases we’ve done. He’s incredibly detail-oriented, handled virtual walkthroughs without missing a beat, entertained all of our “weird” questions, and checked details we never would have thought to ask about ourselves. His background in construction was also a huge asset and gave us confidence throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jim or his team to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, honest, patient, and genuinely helpful.

Quick and easy sale of home.

We recently worked with Jim Archbold to sell our house in Walker, MI. Jim was great to work with, knowledgeable and personable. He provided guidance for remodel priories before the listing. Communication was excellent, providing frequent updates throughout the whole process. He was eager to host the open house and had our interests in mind. We would highly recommend Jim Archbold as your agent.

Successful first time home buyer experience

Successful first time home buyer experience

Had a great experience buying my first home with Jim! He is knowledgeable not just in home buying, but also home building which felt like an advantage as a first time homebuyer with no real experience. Always received prompt responses whenever messaging - even on weekends and holidays, oops! - and I never felt like I had any “dumb questions.” I had already been pre-approved but Jim recommended getting multiple quotes and offered references for lenders; ended up shopping around and going with one of his suggestions, which ended up saving thousands. While walking through homes Jim would point out suggested repairs, what it would take to fix, how extensive, and estimates of cost or whether he thought it could be done myself. He provided recommendations on repair services, including being willing to assist himself on repairs. When it came time to place a bid on a house, Jim provided guidance and best recommendations for a successful offer, helping to decide whether to bid what the house is worth vs what it’s worth to me. Overall, had a great time looking at houses with Jim, listening to his advice and learning from his personal expertise with building homes. Really felt like his opinion could be trusted and gives you the sense that he’s looking out for you with every home viewing.
