Reviews from Clients
“Trust is something that is earned and important to me. I connected with Jim via a former co-worker because I trusted my co-worker's opinion. But I had to develop my own trust directly with Jim, which I did fairly quickly. A home purchase is one of the largest we ever enter into, so finding a person that knows the field explicitly, represents your interests in all areas without prejudice, and is fully present isn't automatic. Jim's knowledge and experience make him an expert in this field. His advice is practical and sound. He nudges you along but doesn't push you or rush the process. I always felt he was actively listening to my needs and wants, which weren't crystal clear in my own head. Everyone should employ their own checklist for choosing an agent, but it should go beyond billboards, radio advertising and social media. I knew what was important to me and made certain I did my due diligence to ensure i chose an agent that was right for me. I am very happy with my decision to work with Jim and believe you will be as well.”

“Jim helped my husband and me purchase our first home last year. His willingness to share knowledge and help was so valuable to us. He made us feel comfortable through the whole process. He also had the instinct to send us a listing that would not have shown up given what was our search criteria. That listing turned out to be the house we didn’t know we wanted. We absolutely love it and would not have even known it was on the market if Jim hadn’t sent us that extra email. We are so grateful!”

“Jim is fantastic and I cannot recommend working with him enough! He helped me and my husband buy and sell our previous home and to purchase our new and current home. His knowledge and expertise is impeccable and he makes this whole process easy and fun! He helped us find our dream home and we are forever thankful! We consider Jim a friend and we will always recommend his services for those in need of realtor services!”

“Thank you so much for the cool dish set!! Wow! It’s like you know we do a lot of entertaining or something. It will be perfect this summer for meals on the deck. Most of all, thank you for coming to Northfield to celebrate with us. I know that was a long drive for you. But it meant a lot to Jeff and I to have you there. Jim, you were there through a weird time in our lives-and feel sort of connected to you somehow. You’re more than our real estate agent now. Thanks for helping us celebrate!”
— Kristen and Jeff J.
“My husband and I used Jim to buy our first home and had a great experience. He educated us on the buying process and what to look for in a home. He is very experienced and well connected in the real estate world and we saw a lot of properties we wouldn’t otherwise have seen without his market expertise. Ultimately, we purchased a pre-market home that had a lot of interest and Jim helped us present the strongest offer. He is responsive, professional and thinks outside the box the help you find the right home. Highly recommend!”
— Lynn G.
“Thank you,” somehow isn’t quite enough for all the service and care you have given us throughout our total process of relocation- we truly value you not only for your leading us, but for a friendship that developed along the way, so we are most grateful. We hope to see you and Nancy in the near future.”
— Mark and Ida L.
“We truly are grateful that you were there to help us navigate through our first home-buying experience. Thank you for your dedication, patience, + no pressure approach. We couldn’t imagine a better friend by our side to keep our best interests in mind. As a thank you for all you’ve done we would like to make a donation in both your + Nancy’s name to a charity of your choice. We couldn’t imagine a better way o saying thank you than paying it forward somewhere else. Thank you!”
— Paul and Shannon W.
“Jim was an amazingly effective Realtor® and had our backs throughout the process. He never pressures you into making an offer on a house you aren't 100% certain you want and will even go so far as to inspect it as you go and offer advice on what's fixable and what to avoid. Would recommend 10/10 every time.”
— Arke J.
“We cannot thank you enough for taking us under your wing and being our real estate/ MPLS/street sweeper ambassador! Thank you for working with our ridiculous requests, for staying in contact with us and for always going the extra mile. We are so grateful for your hard work! We are so excited about our new home!”
— Keela C.
“First, thank you for all of your help, advice, guidance, and input over the past many months. We wouldn’t be in the house we love without you. Second, and more importantly, thanks for the margarita-appetizer extravaganza we love all of it! You really hit the nail on the head: party supplied, first + foremost! We’ll have to have you, Nancy, Mikaela, and Charlie over sometime soon to enjoy all of it-maybe even in the gazebo!”
— Sue B.
“Jim not only knows what he is doing, but you can also tell he loves working with his clients. Because of his experience, he can offer guidance others may not, and he encourages your questions. Give help a call - I assure you he will be happy to talk no matter where you are at with your housing search or selling— even if it’s in the “maybe” stage. I know I landed my forever home because of him.”
— Cas W. and Jane B.
“I have known Jim for over 15 years. Jim helped my wife Jane and I buy our first home. He recently helped our daughter Sarah and her husband Mike, buy their first home. Jim is truly one of a kind. A gem or a needle in a haystack. Jim is a rare find. I have never met anyone who cares more about serving his clients than Jim. He is simply the best!”
— Steve K.
