We were thrilled to have connected with James as we set out to find a home in the Sarasota area. Following an initial orientation that helped us get acquainted with the area, James showed us both existing homes and new developments. After deciding to pursue new construction, we relied on James' expertise to guide us through the process, from commitment and ground-breaking, to closing. As remote buyers living 950 miles from all the action, James was awesome in helping us keep tabs on construction progress. James, THANK YOU for all you did to make this, on the whole, an incredibly positive home buying experience!

James is extremely focused on all details. Very responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend or use again in the future. A true diamond in the ruff.

We have worked with James on multiple home sales/purchases and he is hands down the best realtor. He is always on top of all parts of the process, has excellent communication, is professional, well versed in all things real estate, and keeps our best interests in the forefront of all that he does. With this home sale, he was able to correctly identify the appropriate sales price and strategy to quickly sell our home. It was under contract in four days and he managed the whole process while we were living out of state. I can not recommend him enough! He truly is the best at what he does!

Mr.Tassel is very current on market trends in the real estate industry. He educated and guided me through unprecedented times during the covid pandemic. Even with the rising costs of housing I was able to find and build an affordable new villa within my budget. Above all else, I was impressed with his customer service skills. His communication skills were best demonstrated by his advocacy of my needs as a new homeowner to the builder. Mr. Tassel went above and beyond to routinely keep me informed, was always available to answer my questions, and provided video tours of the building progress of my home. He maintained a professional demeanor throughout the ten-month process, and was there to congratulate me on the day we closed the deal. Thank you for helping to make my dream come true.

James was knowledgeable, attentive and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend working with him. He was constantly following up on all details.

James did an excellent job helping us find a new home in Nokomis FL. We visited Florida from Colorado for a week to check out the local market and with James’ help we were able to purchase a new construction home in a great area. James visited the homesite several times in the following months to take photographs and videos. He is always available to answer questions about the purchase process and living in the Sarasota area. We really appreciate the newsletters and market updates we receive from James. I would highly recommend James to anybody looking to buy a home in the Sarasota area. He is friendly, knowledgeable and a very hard worker.

Once we contacted James about wanting to look at some properties in the Bradenton/Sarasota area, he sent us links to a variety of properties to look over. As we only had a week to look before we left, when we chose a few that we wanted to go through, he readily arranged for it to happen. James is very knowledgeable regarding real estate. When we had questions about the properties, if he didn't immediately know the answer, he sought to find the answer as soon as possible. He was honest and upfront with us on everything. We trusted he would work his hardest to help us. We truly enjoyed working with him to buy our new condo.

James has been outstanding helping us buy our newly built home in Sarasota! At all times he has been professional, thorough, supportive and informative. We didn't live in the area so he provided regular video walk throughs so that we could see the progress as our vacation home was being built. He helped facilitate any concerns that we had with the builder and was a great source of information that we needed to get our home up and running and move into the area. Thanks James! You've been great and we won't hesitate to use you again! Mike & Stacey

James is the best! Even though we purchased from several states away it was like he was our local agent. He walked us through every step. His attention to the details was remarkable. We couldn't be more happy with our buying experience and our new home!

What can we say about James Tassell!! Nothing but great things! He was extremely professional, attentive, and went above and beyond for us especially because we lived out of state and he dealt with all of our questions in a friendly and professional manner and was gracious in video taping properties as we could not be there in person to see. We could not have purchased our new and beautiful home without his help. We highly recommend him! Thank you James!! Jary & Jean Turrell

James Tassell, our agent at Dwell, did an outstanding job in every respect. He was very communicative and kept us “in the loop” in every aspect of the sale. James was frank and open when offering suggestions and we came to value his input and experience. Our experience with James & Dwell couldn’t have been better. A+++!

We couldn’t provide a higher recommendation for James Tassell, Realtor. Like many, we had decided to move to Sarasota from the Northeast. As we prepared to pursue real estate opportunities in the area we encountered the well-documented, unprecedented real estate environment of low supply/high demand. While this drove prices up, it also made for a highly competitive field of buyers. We knew that there was a strong likelihood that we would be making offers on houses “sight unseen”. We needed a realtor who was responsive, understood our needs and wants, and could communicate clearly. We interviewed several realtors and chose James for exactly those qualities and he did not disappoint. James found us a house in a highly desirable neighborhood and utilized his “high tech” remote video walk through to make us comfortable to make an offer. This deal was further complicated as it was a “short sale” and James prepared and educated us on that difficult process. Always responsive, professional and thoughtful we couldn’t be happier with our purchase and with the professional services James provided. I have purchased and sold several homes and James is the best Realtor I have ever worked with!!
