As stated, I had acquired a small space of a campground that i needed to have taken out of my name. Jim was able to navigate this challenging sale between myself and ex husband. He was professional and transparent on the process, and thankfully was able to locate a buyer and now the property is forever out of my name. Thank you

We had a wonderful experience working with Jim during the purchase of our cottage/Air BnB. Jim was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process. Jim took the time to understand what we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and guided us through each step of the home-buying process. Thanks to Jim's expertise and dedication, we felt confident and supported from the initial search all the way through closing. We truly appreciate all of Jim's hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a cottage or Air BnB rental!

Jim is one of the best realtors we have had the pleasure of working with when buying property. He truly cares more about his clients needs than simply making a sale. He is honest, hardworking, and forthcoming throughout the entire process. His background in construction, electrical, design, and corporate work makes him extremely knowledgeable and valuable to his clients. He brings a level of experience and insight that can make a big difference when evaluating a property. We highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely puts his clients first.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He knows how much we enjoy investing in rental properties, and he actually went out and found the perfect opportunity for us. He truly went above and beyond, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. We’re especially grateful because he’s not only someone we trust professionally, but someone we consider family. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Jim worked tirelessly to sell my home, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide me through the process. My home is very unique, which generated a tremendous amount of interest. We had lots of people wanting to see it, but we both knew it was going to take a very special buyer to truly appreciate the home and make it the right fit. The house was shown more than 50 times, and Jim personally held four open houses. Through it all, he never stopped working to find the right buyer. What impressed me most was Jim’s dedication and attitude throughout the entire experience. He never gave up, never complained, and remained positive and encouraging even when the process took longer than expected. He consistently went above and beyond, and his hard work ultimately paid off when he got us to the finish line with a full-price offer. I also chose Jim to help me purchase my new home, and that experience was just as wonderful. He was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right home. I would recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His work ethic, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. I will absolutely use him again in the future!

Jim was a huge help in purchasing our home. He made short work of contacting the sellers and setting up our purchase agreement. He was very attentive in the steps that lead up to the closing. Honestly if it wasn’t for Jim’s professional assistance and attention I don’t think we would have been able to make our dream happen. Highly recommend him as a realtor -Scott Steger

Jim spent extra time making trips to the home to make sure it was available and ready for showings. Would recommend him anytime.

Jim was a big help to us. He knew what he was doing, professional and all around good person. He stayed in contact with us and made sure we knew he was available for anything.

Good job at completing the sale and closing.

Mr. Archbold told me when we first met that he could sell my late brother's house, in the area where the house was located, in 5 to 6 days. It sold in 4 business days at our asking price! Also, when the buyer came back with a request to adjust the price lower due to the age of the roof, Mr. Archbold said no and that he had another offer waiting in the wings. We got our asking price! Also, Mr Archbold went the extra mile for me. I live 3 hrs north of Grand Rapids, and when we decided that the house needed a deep clean, Mr Archbold met the cleaners to let them in the house. That was a big help to me, as it saved me another long trip to Grand Rapids. Thanks Jim!!!! Also, when the photographer showed up to take pictures of the house, Mr Archbold helped in getting the house presentable to take pictures! Thanks, Jim!!! Finally, he really impressed me with the great Remax marketing plan that he presented to me when we first met. He was VERY thorough in explaining the complete marketing plan. After presenting Remax's plan to sell the home, I was sold! I would recommend Jim Archbold and Remax to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!!!! Many thanks to Mr. Jim Archbold!!! Sincerely, Tim Ruedy.

I would highly recommend Jim Archbold to anyone looking to buy or sell a home/property. Jim was working with us even before we made the decision to list our unique property. He provided valuable guidance on the best timing to list, offered practical recommendations, and helped us prioritize what to focus on as we prepared our property for the market. Once our property was listed, Jim was proactive and dedicated. He consistently scheduled showings and hosted open houses while diligently researching questions and providing timely answers throughout the process. His commitment and attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way. Thanks to Jim's expertise and persistence, we received several offers and ultimately sold our property at our asking price. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking, and responsive real estate professional, I highly recommend Jim Archbold. He will invest the time, effort, and expertise needed to help you achieve your real estate goals, whether you're buying or selling.

I didn’t just find a house—I found the home, and I truly believe that wouldn’t have happened without Jim. From the very beginning, Jim listened—really listened—to what I wanted and never rushed me or tried to push me into something that didn’t feel right. Every question I had (and I had a lot), he answered with patience and clarity. What really set Jim apart was his background in construction. During a showing, he recognized a rare radiant heating system most agents would have overlooked—and took the time to thoroughly check it. That’s when he discovered two zones weren’t working. Instead of glossing over it, he negotiated to have them repaired before closing, saving me from a major headache. The same thing happened with the septic system—when inspections revealed issues, Jim stepped in again and successfully negotiated a full replacement. Jim didn't stop working after he closed the deal, either. The septic repair wasn't complete by the time I closed, but he knew I wanted to get into the house. He continued to follow up with the excavation company and electrician to ensure the work got completed, weeks after I took ownership. Jim doesn’t just help you buy a home—he protects you while you’re doing it, and after. I felt confident every step of the way, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
