Thank you Jim for being the best realtor. Through our realtor interview process we knew you were the one to help us achieve our goal. Thank you for all your hard work, calming manner, decaf coffee, awesome organization to get the pictures done on one of the few sunny days, great listing description, marketing, always available for questions, offering to help us find storage & movers, and assisted both sides (Buyers & us) with information to reach ‘clear to close’! 😀

Excellent realtor; excellent person

Excellent realtor; excellent person

Jim Gestautas provides, hands-down, the best customer service I have ever received. Jim helped us buy a second home in Manzanita while we were long distance. Jim held our hand through the entire process, answering all of our questions, advocating for us, and communicating promptly and clearly at each step of the way. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the area and well connected with other realtors and various tradespeople around the coast, so he was especially valuable for us out-of-towers. Because we could not be in town for most of the process, Jim handled everything. He met the inspector, roofer, and plumber, and he provided us contacts for utilities, cleaners, caretaking services, you name it. He welcomed us warmly to Manzanita when we arrived, and continues to follow up to help us get acclimated. I honestly didn’t know a realtor could be so helpful. Helping home buyers clearly is his passion. We now have our beautiful dream home in Manzanita, and we have Jim to thank.

Fantastic!

Fantastic!

Being we were novices at selling property we needed an agent that we could trust, knew the ropes and would listen to our concerns/desires with an open mind. Jim met and exceeded our expectations for those qualities more. His expertise brought forth questions, that we hadn't even considered to our attention, which we were then able to address. He did this all without being pushy or impatient. We would trust Jim again, in a heartbeat and are grateful for his kind help.

Thank you Jim Gestatus!

I was amazed how knowledgeable Jim was in every detail of handling real estate. He was excellent in communicating with me in handling the whole process from beginning to end and was so professional in every detail. He went above and beyond in doing little things for me that were not required and I couldn't be more appreciative for such a kind man. Thank you Jim!

Jim Gestautas handled this not so routine sale for my parents house as good and better than expected. A solid beginning to end process where Jim handled all matters with market knowledge, foresight, and continuously updated trends and analysis with professionalism each day. I would highly recommend him to any and all. Many thanks to Jim from my experience.

Great Job!!

Jim is an amazing agent to work with. I was purchasing from out of state and he was so kind and willing to show me homes via Skype and always sent me great leads within the price range I could afford. His low pressure, easy to work with attitude made it a joy to purchase with him. I would definitely use him as my agent again.

Jim was a referral from a friend as I was interested in property on the Oregon Coast. From the first call to the last Jim was quick to respond with insight, integrity and thoughtful suggestions. Throughout the process of negotiations and challenges his respect for the process and the community spoke volumes of his ethics. Please note these loaded words are not chosen lightly. He is that dependable. Most home purchases come with challenges. This one had more than most. Together we kept stepping through each decision with careful and respectful challenges to the seller team. The end result was fair and I'm now living in a fabulous spot. I am confident I would not be living here if not for the relationship skills Jim has. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to comment on Jim's professionalism. BTW this is my 4th home purchase and I have relied on each agent along the way. I would give Jim the highest recommendation should you be looking for property in Oregon.

I would recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the North Coast region. We have used Jim twice now to purchase homes, and both times he went above and beyond to help with our transactions. We have recommended Jim to close friends who also bought a home in the area and they were equally pleased with his representation.

I highly recommend Jim for your real estate needs.

I'm͏ so glad I found Jim to be my realtor at the coast. I've been a Portland area realtor for a long time, and it was a real treat to have Jim as my own realtor for my Manzanita home purchase. I got the rare chance to see first hand what it's like to be a client when you have a great realtor at your side. He is a knowledgeable and exceptional realtor who loves his work and goes above and beyond to help his clients get what they want. He jumped right in at the last minute and was able to get a tour lined up, gather information, and help me craft a winning offer. And he knew what to do to get my offer accepted in a highly competitive situation. Jim took great care of me. He was kind and welcoming to me and my doggy. He was very available, organized, and detail oriented, and he helped in every way to make the process smooth and easy, even though I live two hours away in Portland. He is known as a coastal expert on the North Coast of Oregon. It was cool that he knew where to help me find information on Manzanita rules for licensing my place for airbnb too. I'm so glad I found him and I love our new place! I highly recommend Jim for your real estate needs.

Due to unexpected market conditions, the timing of putting my house on the market went from good to bad to ugly. Jim's experience, communication skills, and market savvy helped ensure that the listing overcame all the challenges and successfully closed.
