James is NOT a “Diamond in the Rough”; James is a “Spectacular Refined Diamond”

James is NOT a “Diamond in the Rough”; James is a “Spectacular Refined Diamond”

I cannot say enough about my experience with James. Top-notch knowledge providing comparisons of other surrounding estates for sale. Including in those comparisons reasons why they may be listed slightly higher or lower than the price we had decided on listing; and he broke it down reasons on how he arrived at the price. James was always professional. He always answered questions with such knowledge explaining the what why, when, where, how come. If having to leave a message, James would return my call within a short time; most times within the hour. He would send documents & explain in depth the reason why so you understood the meaning of the information. I had had another realtor for a year without any movement or communication. James & Margaret were referred to me, so I called to set up an appointment. On initial contact, I knew I did the right thing. Within a week, I received a call with an offer. As I said, I cannot say enough about James & his wife, Margaret. They both go beyond their job description. I include his wife, Margaret, because again, the ole saying; “Behind every successful man is a good woman”.🙂 They both work together so well. I don’t normally complete referrals, but James helped me in my realty sales so much. I have no regrets.

We’ve worked with James on three separate transactions now and each time the service has been nothing short of exceptional. From our first deal to this last one he has displayed a high level of market knowledge, he’s responsive, strategic, and responsive. No matter if you’re buying or selling, James navigates the process with clarity and confidence. We never felt rushed or put off. If you’re looking for a realtor who knows his craft, builds trust, and delivers results then look no further. We highly recommend James and his team and would use him again.

Our experience with James Saffell was as good as it gets and we highly recommend him!

Our experience with James Saffell was as good as it gets and we highly recommend him!

James is the consummate professional with over 20 years of real estate experience, which is clearly evident in every stage of the selling process. His knowledge of the market allowed us to navigate successfully through the pricing arena, from initial listing to final sale. James makes communication a priority, and we felt appropriately informed every step of the way. He was also very quick to respond to any questions we may have had, and was easy to stay in touch with via email, text or phone call. If not available immediately, his return correspondence was prompt every time. We were never left 'hanging', waiting for a response from him. His calm assurance and exceptional people skills laid the foundation for a comfortable working atmosphere for both seller and buyer. His years of experience in the real estate market enabled him to provide trusted resources for various services as needed (examples: photographer, roofing company, etc.), and we were very satisfied with the work of each recommended vendor. James scheduled required services, arrived on time for those appointments, stayed through to completion, and made himself available for any and all aspects of the sale proceedings. In the midst of the stress and challenges of leaving our home of 20 years, he provided steady guidance from start to finish, and we are thankful to have had him at our sides during this season of our lives. We chose James Saffell expecting integrity and we were not disappointed.

James was incredibly knowledgeable and was great at keeping me and my fiance informed. He is familiar with the area having been in business here for several years. He has many connections which ensured us great service and the best deals. As first time home buyers his expertise and efficiency was invaluable to the process of searching for our new house. He was professional yet personable and was quick to meet any need and to answer any question we had. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new home!

James and Margaret are a dynamic duo! I have used them buying a home and selling a home, on two separate occasions. There is no one else I would even consider representing me in a huge decision like buying or selling a home. They have a fabulous reputation in our community!

Once again James and Margaret have performed flawlessly while handling the sale of our home. This was our fourth experience with them over the last nine years and Lord willing, if there is to be a number five then they will receive the only call we need to make! Their knowledge of the market values never leaves us in doubt as to market pricing. Their experience with the small and large details keeps us at peace with transactions. Their professionalism and thoroughness with updates keep us informed. Speaking of communication, they usually call us they an answer while we are just pondering the question to ask! It is great to have a team that is one step ahead while guiding you through the process. Our sincere respect and appreciation, Merle and LaCetta Carroll

Port Richey condo purchase

I recently purchased a condo in Port Richey that was very time dependent and the seller happened to be on vacation in the Bahamas. James was very helpful making sure we stayed on top of the seller to meet the needed timelines. It was great doing business with James.
