"Me and my wife recently bought a house in Nokomis using James as our realtor! James was super positive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and exceeding helpful. He found us an amazing house in the end and showed us some great houses before we landed on this one. He was always super responsive when i reached out to him and made the whole process very clear and smooth! I would highly recommend James for any real estate needs and will definitely use him again!" - Rob Andrews June 14th, 2022
