James Sell

James was professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in the homebuying process. James provided me with all the necessary information to make an offer on a house. James and team made the homebuying process easy and fun! I would work with James again in the future!

We feel incredibly lucky to have been paired with Devon and James. From the first time that we met them they listened to what we were looking for and quickly established a great understanding of the kinds of properties that would suit our needs. They create a structured communication base so that we were able to have a continued understanding of what was available and coming to market allowing us to be competitive, especially for quick turnaround viewing opportunities and offer dates. This was combined with them being incredibly flexible and generous with their time for viewings, disclosure discussions and some very patient hand holding through the process of making offers and ultimately being successful in buying our dream home. Our first home! We felt very secure in their professional approach, with their transparency and with their depth of knowledge. Their ability to articulate pros and cons for decision making allowed us to feel empowered in making the best choices for us. Most importantly, they are lovely, kind people that are passionate about their work. They clearly take great pride and pleasure in their profession and the opportunity to help people navigate the real estate world.

We were new to San Francisco and James and his partner Devon Hamilton were so knowledgeable and professional as they guided us through the competitive SF housing market. We actually met James at an Open House. We immediately felt comfortable with his low key, respectful personality. They made an otherwise overwhelming experience seamless. They were always available and helpful to coordinate the lender and escrow companies. I highly recommend him and would definitely seek his advice on future transactions!

James was a very knowledgeable and attentive real estate agent. He got to know our wants, needs, and limits and adjusted house hunting strategy accordingly. As first time home buyers, he educated us on the process and called out the pitfalls which really helped assuage our anxieties during the process. He was truly a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house. You can tell the thrill of the hunt for the perfect home for his clients excites him and that is someone you want on your team.

We were first time buyers in an extremely competitive market, and James always made us feel heard and never pressured or pushed us. He was always focused on finding the right home for us, and gave us honest insights and feedback. He showed us homes all over Marin, sometimes repeatedly, to make sure we had a full view of our options. James also answered every call and text immediately, which was such a comfort during a stressful time. We highly recommend James and look forward to working with him again in the future! Thank you James!

We worked with James this summer to purchase our first home in the East Bay. In the house-hunting phase, James was personable, super responsive, and extremely patient with us as first-time homebuyers. He always went out of his way to be available for home tours on the weekend, and it was clear that he was working to find us the perfect fit rather than just hunting a commission. Once we got to the offer phase, James was a shrewd negotiator and managed to get us a home that completely exceeded our expectations in our most desired neighborhood! We screened many realtors before settling on James, and we wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone.
