              James helped my wife and me find our first home together. We knew nothing about the home owning process and he guided us every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable in the area and met up with us at any time we were available to look at houses.

We'll be recommending him and his agency to all of our friends looking for homes! Thanks James!

Could not recommend a better realtor!

He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months).

            • I contacted James in regards to a listing I saw on Zillow. He was easy to get in contact with throughout the process and helped me submit a winning bid on my condo, which I closed on last week. James was helpful and professional, even providing information on the financing side of the deal.. I enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him to others.

              - Nathan Aube
            • One of the smartest decisions you will ever make is to list with Liberty Way Realty. I listed with James and had a full support team. The marketing effort was impressive . They were professional , responsive and unmatched in terms of negotiation skills . You will get top dollar for your home if you list with Liberty Way.

              - Carrie Hayden
            • James helped us rent a house on a lake (our dream). Once we saw the property, we immediately wanted it & told James of how excited we were. He handled all of our paperwork immediately, and we got the house the very next day. We also wanted to do improvements on the house, which as our mediator with the landlord until possession, we had to go through James for approvals. He got back to us immediately on all approvals, and we were able to make the improvements before we moved in. He was genuine and honest. Very helpful. I highly suggest James for all of your real estate needs (not just buying - renting too!!)
