James is a realtor you can count on. He will guide you for what you are looking for if you are a buyer. He will provide market recent sales, and neighborhood information when you sell, and suggest a reasonable and attainable sale price to market your property when you want to sell. He is prompt, efficient and "not pushy". He looks for what you want. He has good relationships with escrow firms, and will gather any information you need to make a decision whether selling or buying.

We are so thrilled with our experience with Jim. Something my Dad has told me over the years is, it doesn't really matter how much experience someone has or how many certificates and credentials they have collected. You can always collect experience and education. What matters most is, are they an honest good person. Jim is a rare gem! He has the experience and is a person of honesty and integrity which is important to my husband and I. You can tell he really cares about his clients and you feel taken care of, 100%. Jim was with us every step of the way, this was our first home buying experience and he was so patient with us encouraging us to ask all the questions, even if we asked multiple times. Answering all our questions thoroughly so that we had a solid understanding, Jim was a perfect guide for us. Jim's communication skills and timeliness are on point. Although we may never move again because we like our new house so much lol, if we ever do sell or buy a home again, we will for sure go to Jim. Not only have we made a great business connection with Jim we feel like we have made a new friend as well. Thank you so much, Jim. We will forever recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Gratitude. Best, Billy and Carley

James made our experience as first time homebuyers easy and enjoyable. We were a bit nervous about the process, but James constantly kept us in the loop and always took care to answer our questions and be our advocate. Since we are new to the area, his guidance and expertise of local neighborhoods was invaluable. We couldn’t have been more pleased to have him as our agent.

If you want experience, attention to detail, incredible local market knowledge/trends and someone you can get a hold of, James Hawkins is your man. Diligently looking out for your best interest, going the extra mile and anticipating any possible issues and knocking them out head-on in a timely manner are just a few important attributes you will come to appreciate working with James. He represented me my when I bought my house 2 years ago. I referred him to my mom who has purchased 2 investment properties with his representation, one in 2010 and one that closed today 2/10/17. I referred him to my wife's parents who he represented 6 months ago in their purchase of a home as well, all are in Brentwood. I dont write reviews, easily give referrals or vouch for many but if you are buying or selling real estate in and around this area do yourself a favor and be represented by a true professional. His integrity coupled with his respected relationships with other agents/brokers, escrow folks, loan resources etc make this process very smooth. He walks you through each step, keeps you well informed and I have never felt any pressure. Thanks James!
