This is a man you can trust.

James is an awesome realtor and very knowledgeable. He’ll go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure you’re happy. James made the buying process easy because he was always on top of things front day one. Communication was key to closing our deal no matter what time of day it was he was there for us. Thank you again for an exceptional experience!

Written by my boyfriend, Joey Lehman: I've never understood why the word 'realtor' was spelled the way it is until I chose James Gillen to be my realtor. This guy REALly TORe through the rest of the competition. Are you looking for a new house? Wouldn't you like the process to be easy and fun instead of some fast-paced, stress-filled nightmare? You should give James a call. Throughout the whole process, James was very knowledgeable and professional. He adds value to every viewing by providing insight on the area, key features to look for, and details to avoid. As a first-time home buyer, it was important to me that I got a house I was happy with, despite the current expeditious and high-priced market. James was very patient with me and assured me that we'd keep looking until we found the right house. When we finally found that house, he helped me craft the perfect competitive bid. One that would win, but not cost me my life savings. Even the seller's realtor stated that James' experience and expertise was displayed thoroughly in the bid we put together. I can't stress enough how helpful, patient, and reassuring he was throughout my search. I'm not the type of person to write a review for someone, but I would be doing everyone a disservice if I didn't let them know how awesome this James guy is. I'm telling ya, if you're looking for a house... Find James first.

James did a fantastic job and made the entire process easy, from the home search to closing. I would strongly recommend to anybody!

James devised an incredible gameplan to list, market and to make small, cost effective yet game changing touch ups before we listed my house. It ended up getting an over asking offer in less than 48 hours! I couldn’t recommend him enough and won’t work with anyone else

We were in the process of moving back from Shanghai to Michigan after 8.5 years of overseas assignment. We found James through Chase bank partners and worked with him closely via online for a couple months. After many property videos he uploaded for us, we finally locked down on a direction the day before Christmas. Throughout the inspection and closing process, James worked diligently and provided us a great home buying experience. We appreciate his upstanding character and his passion for real estate business, and fully trust him for a long-term collaboration for future opportunities.

We looked for our forever home for over a year. We looked at a tonnn of houses, but James was very patient, always made time for us whenever we wanted to see a house. He had our back every step of the way. Hands down, one of the best realtors out there!

A top shelf dedicated professional. We were in good hands throughout the home buying experience. I feel fortunate we had James as our agent. Also a great guy who treats people the way we all want to be treated.

James is the best realtor you can think of. He accomodated all our requests and answered all our questions patiently. He is super positive, punctual, supportive, professional and kind. It was a great experience working with him. Highly recommend!

James was incredible throughout the entire process of selling our home. Selling a home always seemed like it would be such a chore but he actually made it enjoyable. James was always punctual and available at any time and full of integrity. As well as being very knowledgeable of the market. Would highly recommend. Thank you James

Working with James was an amazing experience in the process of buying my new home, even during this grueling market. He was readily available, listened to my requests, and utilized his experience to get me into a wonderful home. Happy to have worked with him!

Superb experience !! This is my second time purchasing a property with James, both were handled very quick, efficient and professional. I appreciated James for his quick responsiveness to all question and his extensive knowledge of the real estate market. These skills allowed for very quick closings in such a competitive Royal Oak market . Thank you James
