James helped my partner and I buy our first home together in Fullerton, CA. He asked thoughtful and clarifying questions to help understand our needs and desires in a home that fits within our budget. He was well prepared for every meeting and did his due diligence of the neighborhoods and market comps. He was very patient, honest, friendly, responsive, comfortable with having difficult conversations during negotiation, and respectful of COVID-19 safety procedures. I always felt like he supported our side/perspective while we were negotiating terms of the contract and closing. He answered all of our questions and also set realistic expectations by providing us with guidelines and other example home sales. During our closing process, he stayed in close communication with our escrow officer and loan officer to ensure a smooth and stress-free closing. After closing, he helped connect with us with contractors, inspectors and other resources as new homebuyers need to settle in. We are relived and excited that closing was a success and would ask James to represent us again!

TLDR: James is the best realtor out there and you should hire him immediately. We are first time buyers who never thought we could afford to own. We knew nothing about the process, but James made the time and answered the countless questions we had. I say this without exaggeration, if it werent for James, we would not be homeowners right now. He is the secret weapon every buyer wishes they had. James is knowledgable, smart, driven, clever, and easy to work with. You are literally losing money if you dont hire him. I could keep going, but if this hasnt hooked you yet, then I dont know what will.

James is honest, reliable, strong negotiator. Highly recommend his services when helping you look for a home to buy or sell.

James helped me sell my home amidst a divorce. James was extremely professional, provided extensive knowledge regarding every step from our initial consultation to the close. This was extremely important as I was no longer local and relied on him for all feedback to be sound before moving forward. I am more than pleased with the service and compassion provided by James, and would work with him again.

JAMES YOU is the best most righteous professional I've met in a drying time. I owned a prime property in a prime location and was trying to sell it since 2018 with no luck even had hired a well known hot shot agent and no offers... a friend recommended James You and it was a blessing to day the least.James's recommendations are right on, yet or costly. I still don't get how no one else was able to advice me like James. His job wasn't easy I was high maintenance, very non trusting from previous experiences. Don't get it twisted, my property was very worthy and desirable however that wasn't enough to get offers until I hired JAMES, my 3rd agent to sell. HE gave such right advice that for the 1st time I KNEW how a house be sold! Going from no offers in 3 months with previous duchess to having 6 offers over listing price, 1st one before the 1st Open House with JAMES.!! Of course it got better from there. My property was on the market for less than a week and we were in a multiple offer situation go James!! Excellent advisor, knows what to do how to sell ( and it's so easy ) funny how others failed to do what JAMES did. He sold it over asking price within 5 days we had 21 day escrow voila! After everyone was paid JAMES wasn't done he made sure me and my son found suitable housing he helped with everything imaginable that comes up after a successful sale. JAMES is the best at what he does and he goes beyond because he cares about people! Words can't describe how wonderful he is!! Love always

I recently purchased my first home with James and he was wonderful to work with! James is very professional and was always available and responsive with my best interests at heart. He was able to address all my questions and concerns throughout the buying process, as much as it was. Buying a home can be intimidating but it was made easy with James' help. I am grateful to have had him as my agent. I highly recommend James if you're looking to buy a home!

James helped my husband and me sell our first home. There was a ton of pressure for the process to be quick and smooth due to us needing to move out of state the following month. We had a slew of questions and worries about the selling process, but James was very well-versed and professional while working with us which gave us comfort. He miraculously brought in a full-priced offer on our house one day after we listed it! He continued to give us lots of guidance throughout the escrow period to ensure that our experience was a positive one with minimal stress. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with James and would recommend him, in a heartbeat, to anyone looking for a realtor!

James You is an excellent real estate professional, and I highly recommend him. He took into account my lifestyle preferences and long term plans and patiently found for me a nearly perfect property. James is extremely punctual, never late for an appointment to view properties and he skillfully guided me through the home purchase process. You are in good hands with James

James was a pleasure to work with. He is diligent, responsive, and knowledgeable. We were first time home buyers, and so we had a lot of questions every step of the way, but he was always patient with us and always responded timely no matter what time or what day of the week it was. He guided us through many listings from the valley to NELA and everything in between. He is extremely affable and easy to work with, and most importantly, he came through when it counted most -- he was instrumental in closing our transaction with the sellers despite a very compressed timeline. He made our lives much easier as he handled all the small hiccups during post-closing and was the main liaison/point-of-contact between us and the numerous third parties we had to deal with throughout the whole process. I couldn't recommend his services enough. Big thanks James :) we love our new home!

James assisted us in selling our first home and purchasing our second. He went above and beyond our expectations in both sales. Not only is he is very knowledgeable and professional, he is quick to assist with resolving any issues that came up and easing any concerns we had. He was very responsive no matter what time of day and we would highly recommend him as an agent.

We had a rental property in DTLA that needed TLC. James stepped up for the job and went above and beyond to help us the get the in place in shape. He reached out and vetted various repairmen, stagers and cleaners and provided us with quality and cost efficient options. He provided the hands-on help we needed since we reside out-of-state.We received multiple offers, ABOVE asking price, within four days of listing thanks to James! We were confident we made the right choice and the results proved it.

Being new to the area we needed to not only find a home but also get an understanding about where we wanted to live. James went above and beyond on very short notice arranging to see 14+ homes in one weekend.We did find one home that met our criteria that was also in an area that we liked. James' advice during negotiations was spot on and even though there were higher bids our offer won because our contingencies were strong.We are very happy with our new home and would recommend James to anyone who is looking to purchase.

I was a California Realtor myself so I had several close friends who were in real estate but I decided to hire James to sell my property because I remember him as a diligent guy with warm heart (we were co-workers many years ago). He successfully closed the deal while masterfully negotiating the price to get me extra 30K. What more could you possibly want from a real estate agent?

My wife and I were considering putting our DTLA loft on the market so I reached out to James for coffee. James showed up with extensive research material that gave me a clear picture of the current DTLA market. After some thought, we decided to sell our loft and James helped me get my unit ready by referring a stager and painter. Our unit went on the market and we accepted an all cash offer 11 days later blowing away our time frame expectations! James worked hard to sell our unit, did extensive market research but more importantly was someone we could trust and had our best interest in mind. Would definitely recommend James You for any real estate related needs.
