James was referred to us by friends and we are so happy he was. Being in the real estate market myself for several years, I am very particular. James is not only knowledgeable of the market and trends but is an excellent communicator, efficient, patient, low pressure and one of the nicest guys on the planet. James made the entire purchase experience stress free and, as we are from out of state, he handled all inspections and repair issues in our absence. He is just as helpful after purchase, finding us subcontractors, opening the house when necessary and even making arrangements for our rental while the house is being remodeled. We highly recommend James and the Kolander team.
