James S. Shin

James Shin is the penultimate when it comes to top rated agents. His expertise in all aspects of the transaction, start to finish, combined with his personal style, class, and sophistication make for a flawless customer experience. We had a difficult property to sell. Over the course of 15 months, James was the third agent that we engaged to sell our property. Our only wish is that we had found him first. Many agents try to sell high rise condo units as if they were single family homes, often with less than optimum results. However, James is particularly skilled at selling vertical dwellings. Even in these challenging market conditions, James' bespoke approach resulted in our getting top dollar for our unit. Also, he is able to access a vast network of people to quickly find the right buyer. We closed in 17 days! If you want to work with an agent that's highly skilled and very empathetic, look no further than James Shin!

James is a heaven sent. He is very professional from start to finish. My whole family can’t thank him enough for all the hard work, commitment, and expertise he alloted in selling our mom’s property in San Mateo. His abilities is measureless, he is one of a kind!!! In two months we received/closed with a very good offer. More power to you James and your Avenue 8 family!

My daughter referred James Shin to me to sell my home, as he sold hers successfully the prior year. When I first met James he showed his professionalism. James presented me a portfolio with his game plan of how he would proceed with selling my home. This included the past homes sold in my area, homes currently on the market (there was a glut of homes at this time), and future asking price projections in my area. He sold my home when the market was turning towards being a buyers’ market from the previous sellers’ market during the CoVid19 times. James also had the challenge of helping me completely clear out my home, which I lived in for 45 years. He is a caring and understanding person, and he supported me through this entire process. I knew the market was quickly changing unfavorably for me and I needed to move fast, but the task was daunting! He was so patient and gently nudged me along until I was done. The communication line between us was open. I was encouraged to reach out to him if I had any questions or concerns; and I did! Issues came up with my home during the sale, but James tackled each problem as they occurred. No problem was too big for him. James Shin is the complete realtor and a wonderful human being. I trusted him to sell my home and he succeeded! Thank you, James!
