Jim Vandervelde

    • My family and I were relocated quickly to the Minneapolis area for my job. We met Jim via email and phone on a Monday / Tuesday and gave him our lists of would like / must haves etc. Late that night, we received an email from Jim with our first set of homes to look at. We critiqued them and provided him with additional likes / dislikes. The following day we had another set of homes in the inbox. We picked out our top 10 and that weekend headed to Minneapolis to see them. He set up 10 showings on a Saturday, and we started early. He was so nice to pick us up in his car so we didn't have to drive all day. We went through all the houses and found one we fell in love with. Jim wrote the offer that day at our hotel and submitted it to the sellers, it was accepted. So in under a week, he found 25+ homes for us to look at, showed us 10, and wrote an accepted offer and was honest the whole way. It was great. Would love to buy our next house with him! Thanks again, Jim!

    • Jim is fantastic and we would recommend him to anyone! He's open and honest and is genuinely interested in finding the best house for your needs. We saw over 30 homes in a single week with him, and he never showed any impatience or frustration. He kept us organized by bringing individual printouts of each house in the order that we would be seeing them. Jim made what could have been a frustrating process, actually quite enjoyable and we even had a few good laughs along the way!

    • Jim, to be honest, we couldn't have been more pleased with you and the entire process. From the moment you first came over, my wife and I were very impressed. And you obviously did a great job negotiating the sale as we got more than our listing price! "

    • Jim was an invaluable resource for us as we were searching for and buying our first home. He was extremely responsive, patient, and thorough throughout the entire experience. Thanks to Jim, we were able to close on a great home that met virtually all of our criteria and the process was as smooth as can be from start to finish. We highly recommend working with Jim Vandervelde to anyone who is in the market for a new home!

    • Jim was always very professional and respectful of my situation. When we did find the perfect place for me, he made sure I had all the information I needed to make smart decisions. I appreciated his willingness to answer any questions and to make sure I knew what to expect at each point in the process. Jim went above and beyond what anyone could have expected. If any of my friends need a realtor, his name is at the top of the list!
