  • James helped me buy a home

      just wanted to take a moment and personally thank James Ronald Whitney for finding me an impressive 40-acre parcel of land, and an incredible 4-bedroom home, both of which I purchased from him. I worked exclusively with James, and would not have had it any other way, as he promptly answered my multitude of questions—even when research was necessary as the information available was frequently confusing and conflicting. In addition to being acutely adept at understanding the national, state and local real estate market and climate, James’ Wall Street background allowed me to feel that at all times, he was looking at the properties I was considering as an important investment that was being added to my already diverse portfolio, and doing his best to protect me from any unnecessary risk or potential downside. James was the consummate professional, and after listening to the many variables I asked him to consider, he successfully and expeditiously found those needles in the haystacks—neither of which were even formally on the market when I first saw them. From day one through the closings, I knew I was in great hands, and I recommend to anyone looking for real estate to put all of your eggs in the very talented James Ronald Whitney basket—a decision you will most certainly never regret! Sincerely, M. Thomas

        James was AMAZING!! Very knowledgeable, witty and on top of every aspect of our journey. He made for a seamless experience. We couldn't be happier.

      • James helped me buy a home

          SUPER JOB! Thanks !

        • James listed and sold my home

            James is the utmost professional. He really went above and beyond. When we were overwhelmed with the process he took the necessary time to explain everything to us for the third time and he never became frustrated with us. His negotiation skills are the best in the industry. James made the entire process easy for us.

          • James and I connected, but did no business

              James Is One Accomplished Entrepreneur And I Wish Him The Best In All His Endeavors !

            • My Real Estate partner, Jay Saufl, the other BlueJay, is considered valley wide to be an experienced and masterful guru in the industry, and I am humbled to have him by my side as we buy and sell condos and homes for our clients throughout the Greater Palm Springs area and all across the Coachella Valley. Jay, who is also an expert in the financial services industry, is incredibly personable, always pleasant, accomplished, practiced and seasoned, dotting virtually every "I" in sight and crossing every "T" he comes across looking out for our clients' best interest in each and every transaction. From purchasing a small studio fixer to selling a sprawling luxury estate, I couldn't have asked for a more skillful, proficient, professional partner or a more polished and impressive gentlemen to represent the other half of Saufl / Whitney Group.

            • We are proud of James for representing Bennion Deville Homes on the Palm Springs board. He has made a tremendous impact in his time with us, and we are excited to see what he can do with this new platform (Director, Palm Springs Regional Association of Realtors). We wish him the best of luck with his tenure on the board and look forward to supporting him in that role.
