We moved to the area at the wrong time for home buyers -- more buyers than available homes (a seller's market!). Since we moved from out-of-state, we needed to find a house fast and needed to get our kids enrolled in school. We knew it was going to be difficult to find the house we wanted as we had very specific requirements that eliminated most houses. Out first Realtor that was recommended by a co-worker did not work out for us as we did not get the responsiveness and attention that we needed (especially considering the market and the need to quickly find a home). After four months of working unsuccessfully with this Realtor we switched to Candie. The difference was astonishing. Had we used Candie from the start, I'm sure we would've found something we wanted quickly. Instead, we had to move into a rental which further delayed our purchase. We eventually found what we were looking for. Whenever Candie was not available, she always made sure someone could show us homes in her place. We never missed out on a house in this hot market because our Realtor was not available to us -- that was not the case with our first Realtor. We met Candie at an open house. This was our alternative to see houses as our first Realtor was frequently not available. The thing we noticed about her that kept her on our mind was she would listen with attentiveness -- not just to us, but also to our kids asking her questions about what kinds of wildlife might be at the house. If she was going to pay that much attention to our kids, she would certainly pay attention to what we were looking for in a house. Candie was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Working with Jim was an absolutely wonderful experience for our family. From the very beginning, he took the time to truly understand not only what we were looking for in a home, but also the unique needs of our son. That level of care and attention meant everything to us. He was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and intentional in helping us find a home that would be the right fit for our family’s lifestyle. Whether it was considering layout, environment, or overall comfort, he always kept our son’s needs at the forefront of every showing and recommendation. Throughout the entire process, Jim was responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, and we always felt like we had someone truly advocating for our family. What stood out the most was his genuine compassion and understanding. It never felt like just a transaction—he truly cared about helping us find a home where our family, especially our son, could feel safe, comfortable, and happy. We are so grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend Jim Vivian to anyone, especially families who may have specific or unique needs. You will be in the best hands.
