We recommend James Tassell because he was very patient with out-of-town buyers unfamiliar with the whole Sarasota region. He was glad to show us homes and condos from LBK to West of Trail over a two year period before we bought downtown. He was well prepared for each showing, and has good knowledge and guidance for downtown buildings. We had good confidence in his market price guidance when it came time to make an offer, and he did a thorough job once we had a purchase contract as well. James owns the whole process, and is a high energy, pleasant guy.

James has been extremely helpful and supportive over the past several years through my changing timetable and preferences. I had been been planning to buy a 2nd home in the Sarasota area before my husband died. I put plans on hold until I retired and James helped me look at a variety of options including townhomes and condos until I found the perfect “must have” house and location for year- round. I am settled in now and I love my home. He found it for me the first day it was on the market since he knew my priorities so well. The offer was made and accepted the same day and closing process was seamless because of his diligence and experience with so many great local resources. I have already given my friends and family James’s. information to keep and pass on to others. He is wonderful to work with.

James was very helpful with our purchase of a condo on Siesta Key. He recommended an "as-is" contract, which really helped us during the inspection phase and helped us lower the purchase price to cover some repairs that came up during the inspection. He navigated the waters well and we ended up getting a great deal on a great place. Highly recommend!!

James Tassell is from the UK and you might presume he wouldn't know America's real estate market well. Not so. James' knowledge is what one might classify as deserving of a Ph.D. designation. His in-depth expertise includes a unique ability to take monetary and people hurdles and reduce them to solutions where sellers and buyers will benefit mutually. I know. I saw him do it when he handled my purchase of a Sarasota home recently. I'd left Sarasota many, many years ago and James' expertise and tireless help eased the return to my hometown. The bottom line: every buyer wants to know he or she is getting a worthwhile deal. Every seller expects her or his expectations to be equally rewarded. James makes that happen and more. When you want someone to do a job spot on think of, Tassell. James Tassell.

James has been a pleasure to work with, and my wife and I highly recommend him. He was our realtor both with a recent single family home purchase, and a condominium villa sale in Sarasota. Extremely professional, objective and we never felt pressured one way or another. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of the business, and of the Sarasota community. He was a true advocate for us, and that proved helpful on many occasions throughout the process. We consider him our realtor for life in Florida. We would certainly highly endorse him to anyone.

James is detail-oriented, hard working, thorough, and very knowledgeable of the markets in which he operates. He has helped me as both a buyer's agent and seller's agent, and in either case, he proven him invaluable.

James provided excellent assistance with our condo purchase. He was very knowledgeable about the real estate market and he quickly responded to our questions about our particular condo. He responded quickly to our phone calls and questions and he carefully guided us through a difficult closing process. We highly recommend James.

Professorial, honest, care, James definitely went above and beyond his job. 5 stars really isn’t enough to give it to him. We found James online just like the way we search for good restaurants on google. James was ranked number 1 with all the good positive reviews. James's excellence is really solid and consistent. Following are the things that I think James has been consistently exceeded: 1. Expertise-we all know that the quickest way to know a person’s level of knowledge is by asking tons of questions (I didn’t do it on purpose. I couldn’t recall the specific questions that I’ve asked James but I was very impressed every time when I got the response from James. His expertise and timely response makes him really reliable. 2. Timely communication – James has so many clients at hands but I was amazed by how he was still able to respond to my emails and phone calls in a very timely manner. It’s not just about the deliver on time; it’s the accuracy of his response and the knowledge he has that really makes the whole home buying process smooth. James will definitely be our first choice in our next house ! Thank you James!

Very delighted and knowledgeable person. Will answer your questions anytime doesn’t mater it is weekend. Answer all non asset related questions very happy with his service

James proved to be extremely professional and responsive. Good communication throughout the process for first time buyer and we were able to close on time. Understood our needs and demonstrated good knowledge of local market. I would highly recommend and would work with again in the future.

James Tassell is the most professional agent we have ever encountered. He is patient, honest and respectful. He communicated regularly during the process of buying a house in Venice. He made every step clear and timely. We highly recommend him.

James sold two Condo's for me in less than 3 weeks. He is very responsive to phone calls, messages and emails. Polite, not pushy and explains everything. I would not use another realtor in the Sarasota/ Bradenton area as I have found James.
