        - Justin L. Medinah, IL
      • Jim was absolutely fantastic in helping us find our home. It took about a year, but he was patient and made sure that we found the house we were looking for. We always looked forward to viewing houses with Jim, he has a great personality and always made us laugh. We will miss him, but we couldnt be happier with our new home!

        - Jessica DuBrock, Bensenville, IL
      • Jim and his daughter Jessica are not only amazing realtors but amazing people as well. Bought a house through Jim in 2017 and in the works for my second one. Highly recommended!!!! Thanks you both

        - Joe Harden, Cary, IL
      • Jim is an awesome guy. He was there for me when I needed him most. I am very happy with my house. I'll always remember him if I ever need a Realtor again

        - Cheryl Sutberry-Szafranski, Streamwood, IL
      • Worked with Jim and his brother Ed. They were both extremely knowledgeable about the area, the condition of the property and the market in general. They were more of a consultant than a seller. They did not hesitate to point out the good and the bad of each house we looked at. Which were many by the way. Once we decided to make an offer we used the team that they recommended for financing and legal and the process went very smooth. Judging by the attitude and apparent lack of knowledge by the sellers realtor we definitely made the right choice with Garry real Estate.

        - Moeler, Bloomingdale, IL
      • Sold our home in just 2 days! Got our full asking price. All I can say is if your listing with these guys, you better start packing...early. Everything went smooth, and we couldnt be happier. Very great people!!

        - Fred P. Roselle, IL
      • My house was on the market with another realtor for months without any progress. Jim came in gave my wife and I some suggestions, lowered the price of the house and the showings started. Our original realtor gave us high expectations and an inflated value. Jim gave us reasonable expectations and valued the house more for the area. A short time later we had our first offer

        - Todd T. Roselle, IL
      • My experience with Jim Garry was great. Jim Garry is a good person with many years of experience in his field of work, I contacted Jim because I was worried I had to sell my home because my high mortgage payments. He contacted my mortgage company and found out that they have made a mistake in my escrow. In the end he fixed my problem and now I get to keep my home. The reason Jim Garry is a good and honest person is because instead of having a listing and making a commission he helped me out free of charge. Im very great for Jim and Recommend Jim Garry 100%

        - Isai Favela, Bloomingdale, IL
      • Good customer service and very knowledgeable of the area and details of the house and surrounding houses. Made me feel confident on this house purchase

        - Tom W. Bensenville, IL
      • Top notch realtor, really understands the market trends

        - Jim F, Roselle, IL
      • James Garry is a knowledgeable professional with a friendly touch.

        - Prasad Chilakapati, Roselle, IL
      • Jim Garry and his brother Ed were the most friendly and knowledgeable professionals I have dealt with in the real estate profession. They were always willing to help and even on short notice, they would show up with a smile and never cut any corners. It was evident from the start that they were more interested in finding us the right home than in their commission. We are so happy with how our purchase turned out and it would not have happened without Jim's extensive experience and connections in the industry. Just when it looked like our search would continue, Jim contacted the selling agent directly on my behalf and made the deal happen. I would highly recommend Garry Real Estate to anyone looking to by a home.

        - Tim C.
      • My house was on the market for over 3 years, went through 2 previous agents, none could get my house sold. Jim Garry was the only agent who came in and got a offer on the house right away and got it sold. Great job, did what no one else could get done. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

        - Mark Coniglio, Elmhurst, IL
      • The process of buying my first home was made simple and easy by Jim. My girlfriend and I began searching in March and it was not until July that we were able to find a property that met all of our needs and was in a desirable location. We were able to make and offer and have an established contract in less than 48 hours and were able to close without any problems.

        - David, Naperville, IL
      • We dealt with another agent prior to Jim and did not get the level of helpfulness &; eagerness to help us as we did with Jim. Our schedules are a bit off and we had limited times to view listings, with Jim this was never a problem. He always answered our questions fast & was right there the whole time to help with anything he could. We truly felt comfortable in our search knowing he was the one helping us. Already sending him referrals.

        - Anna and JJ, Hanover Park, IL
      • I had a great experience house hunting one weekend with Jim. We checked out 5 different places from Schaumburg to Elgin. Ended up falling in love with a house that weekend. We got the balling rolling the next day and submitted an offer. Shortly after going back and forth with the selling, an offer was accepted. Jim was very on top of everything during the purchasing process. Kept in touch via email, phone calls and text messages. Everything went smooth from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a clueless first time homeowner/purchaser.

        - Kaylee Swearingen, Elgin, IL
      • I found James Garry to be very professional in his demeanor. Asked exactly what I was looking for. Gave me both pros and cons of the property that I was looking at. Refreshingly truthful and not just trying to sell a property. Actually wanted to make sure the property I bought was what I really wanted. Very good experience.

      • James Garry is the guy who can sell the hard to sell property, he has a plan that is effective and precise. It was a pleasure to have James on our team. Exactly what you need when trying to sell. He's a great guy, that always has a joke or two ready

        - Carlos Rojas, Chicago, IL
      • Jim is great. He is funny, knowledgeable and most importantly not pushy. He allows you to take as much or as little time in searching through the multiple homes. He objectively notes the positives and negatives he sees, due to his expertise, that you might not think about in the excitement and rush of home buying.

        - Ulyana and Kevin, Bensenville, IL
      • I have known Jim for years, so there was no question as to which Realtor I would use for any of my Real Estate transactions. I have bought and sold 30+ homes using Jim Garry as my agent. He is very educated on the current Real Estate market trends and values in DuPage County. My experiences working with Jim have been absolutely remarkable every time. Right off the bat I was impressed with his honesty, knowledge, enthusiasm, and 110% effort in every part of the process. He has a great attitude and he's got your back, like a true partner. He always goes above and beyond to accommodate my busy schedule in order to show me homes, including late nights, weekends, and even holidays. Jim always keeps me in the loop throughout the entire home buying/selling process to ensure everything goes smoothly. His background in building/fixing homes gives him a unique touch, especially for someone who rehabs houses. He is very easy to get a hold of and answers any of my questions with great detail. I really appreciate his responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile every time. Jim Garry is the only Realtor I would personally use and the only guy I'd recommend to my friends and family. Going out house hunting with Jim is a fun experience and one not easily matched by other real estate agents. Can't recommend him highly enough!!! Thanks Jim.

        - Mike Moyer, Chicagoland Area
      • It took a year to find a house that matched my needs and James never gave up. We visited a lot of interesting homes along the way and seen some weird stuff but it was a good journey with a home at the end. James always made himself available to see houses per my weird schedule. He is quite knowledgeable on Real Estate beyond just showing a house. He gave great recommendation for the mortgage company, inspection company, lawyer, and carpet company. James is very friendly and takes the tension out of looking for a home.

        - Joanne Moorehouse, Streamwood, IL
      • Great guy he showed me a lot of house some good some bad. And if they wasn't good he would say this is worth you seeing and I like that I had a great time looking at house and will go with him again.

        - Marcus Jones, Bartlett, IL
      • Jim was easy to work with for our style and needs. Knowledge of the process very important and supportive. Was upfront on the process and timing.

        - Mike and Carol Wojda
      • Have worked with Jim in the past and found him to be one of the best in the business. Always looking out for his clients best interests. He has handled multiple transactions for me, both purchases and sales. He has always been on top of the market trends that minimize the time the property is actually "for sale".

        - Barry Slapak Bartlett, IL
      • We sold the house with jim garry and we bought a house with jim garry. He is excellent in his job. He is very knowledgeable and very helpful. I strongly recommend him.

        - Syed Ali
      • I selected Jim Garry because he was the most responsive.Upon speaking to him, I was really impressed with his years' experience and building construction knowledge. On top of that he is very down to earth, patient and listens. Jim is very thorough. He catches things you don't notice when you're looking at a property through rose colored glasses. Above all, he's experienced it all, enabling him to be a proactive problem solver. He is a skilled negotiator. He often knows what the other party is going to do ahead of time and plans ahead for it.Jim is very good at staying calm and managing personalities. Jim is a great realtor. He made the process very enjoyable and fun even though it was quite stressful. He's got a great sense of humor. We were very happy we hired Jim and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.
