James W Longstreth

Not always agreeing, in regards to price, moving, staging, etc., but being able to discuss my thoughts, and differences, made it possible to get through difficult times and decisions.

This is the third time we have worked with Jim to buy or sell a home over the last 15 years, and there is a reason we keep coming back. He is more than just a real estate agent – he has become a true friend who consistently goes above and beyond. Jim’s expertise and dedication make a stressful process feel seamless.

Pyschologists rate moving as one of life's most stressful events. I can attest to that. When my husband and I decided to sell our home of 42 years, we were quickly overwhelmed by the number of decisions to be made and tasks to be done. Making a wrong decision anywhere could cost us thousands. Worst of all, simply shopping for a realtor made us shiver. We needed someone to look out for our wants, our needs, our best interests. But each interview left us feeling we were bleeding in the water as sharks circled round. Then a trusted friend told us the only name we needed to know was Jim Longstreth. "He's everything you want in a realtor: intelligent, honest, ethical, with vast experience in St. Petersburg. And he treats people like family. Trust me," our friend said, "Jim will treat you right." When we met with Longstreth, I told him upfront I had a serious illness and we'd need to be prepared for the possibility I could be hospitalized, leaving my husband alone to manage both my care and the sale of the house. Jim assured us he'd help us through any circumstance, and he was true to his word. The vast network of people he's known and trusted for years made it possible to move through needed repairs and clean-up in days, and the house sold so quickly for a very satisfactory price that I think even Jim was surprised. So trust me. Jim Longstreth will do more than just sell your house. He'll save your sanity!

We recently had the pleasure of working with James W. Longstreth to sell our Historic Kenwood home, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. His comprehensive services included hosting open houses, implementing effective online marketing strategies, explaining all of the digital marketing information, and even finding and supervising contractors for necessary repairs. Communication was a standout aspect of our experience. Jim kept us informed every step of the way through phone calls, emails, and messages, ensuring we always knew what was happening with the sale. This was especially important as we had already left the state, and his proactive updates made the process much smoother. In a challenging market with tough climate conditions and stringent homeowners insurance requirements, Jim skillfully negotiated the sale, demonstrating his expertise and dedication. His knowledge of online marketing was evident, as he effectively showcased our home to potential buyers. We wholeheartedly recommend James W. Longstreth to anyone looking to sell their home. His professionalism, communication skills, and ability to coordinate the sale process make him an invaluable asset. We consider him a superior agent and a personal friend.

This is my third time working with Jim! From first contact to final closing, he helped to make the process go smoothly. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients! Not only is he a great realtor, he's an awesome human😊

Jim is very knowledgeable about the St Petersburg real estate market, and especially Historic Kenwood. He is a pleasure to work with. He brought great ideas, detailed market analysis and insight to the process. He was also receptive to my thoughts and ideas as well. Great selling experience.
