Jim has been our realtor for the past few l years and he has been able to market several difficult pieces of property for us at a very satisfactory price. We think Jim is very knowledgeable, friendly and quick to respond to any questions that should arise. He is one of the best realtors in the area!
Jim represented my listing very well. It was not an easy and straightforward type of listing. Jim has the determination to do all he can in order to meet the ultimate goal to do as much as possible to get a property sold. He’s very easy to work with and has a very honest work ethic. He’s one of those realtors you automatically think has high integrity.
We felt Jim was the right person for the job the very first time we met him. Very knowlegable of the market and a person that wanted to know you so he could place you in the right area and the right home. Unlike our realtor that sold our home in Southern CA who never communicated with you. Jim on the other hand was always on top of explaining and communicating with us every step of the way even though we where a few hundred miles away. My wife and I have sold several homes over the years and unlike the other realtors who have you working with several people in their office who you never seem to know just what they do, Jim handled everything down to doing all the paper work. And when it came to a thank you Jim and his wife had taken us out to a really nice dinner. What we came away with is a friendship for life. A great person who knows the makert and really cares.
Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with. Being that we are not from the area it was important to me that our Realtor knows the area and is honest and trust worthy. Jim is all of the above and more. In just 2 trips to Jim found the perfect home for us! We couldn't be happier! Additionally Jim has been very helpful in provided references for services for our new home. I highly recommend Jim and would not hesitate to use him again for my Real Estate needs.
Jim is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and honest guy. He was raised in the Paso Robles area and knows every nook and cranny of the county. He helped us search for the perfect horse ranch in Paso. He was tiredless in his pursuit of our property. We had set the standard of our new ranch pretty high. He would comb the county and then call us to come up from southern California, only if he found something that filled our parameters. He is always available and easy to reach. He was even willing to help us get comps to help lower our property taxes. Unlike a lot of real estate agents that act like used car salesmen, Jim always puts his customers needs first and doesn't try to pursuade you to buy "this perfect home", just to get the sale. He is truly a real gentleman.
Very, very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. It took us 8 years to find what we were looking for and Jim continued to provide great service all those years!
Jim Claassen is far and away the best Central Coast Realtor I have worked with over the years. He has represented me on three successful purchases. His knowledge, professionalism and integrity are unmatched. Jim's s network of service providers has been extremely helpful as I live out of the area. I consider Jim the consummate professional and friend.
Jim took the time to figure out exactly what combination of features we really wanted. We looked at many homes before we bought, but Jim never pushed us to choose. He always said, "If the home is right for you, it will sell itself."
We were new to the area and needed someone who could show us around and educate us on all the nuances of the different areas of Paso Robles. Jim is a local who knows every nook and cranny of land, every neighbor, all the school info, every place to eat, drink, shop, etc. His knowledge is beyond impressive. He is beyond patient (as he showed us around at least a dozen times, with no pressure whatsoever). With Jim's expert guidance, we bought our dream ranch. We unconditionally recommend Jim to anyone interested in information on homes in the Paso area.
We found Jim Claassen to be professional, patient, and trustworthy. After numerous offers that were not accepted on other homes over a period of a year, Jim successfully negotiated our purchase of a REO that had other offers. After the purchase he continued to help us locate contractors/skilled labor that helped us put our new home in order. We would not consider listing a home, or buying with any other agent representing us.
