I try not to over-promote myself here, but this testimonial describes the intended experience:

I’ll let you in on a secret:

There is but one Realtor in SD County: His name is JIM. The rest of them are in the game because JIM has only so much time.

Jim has recently been instrumental in securing our new home in La Jolla. Although, in theory out of his area of primary interest – Jim not only took us in, but was able to handle and meet our our requirements way better than the majority of “realtors” who “specialize” in that area of town. He helped us stay away from the homes that to an inexperienced eye looked appealing, and we surely took advantage of his expertise in assessing the quality and value of each and every home we had seen.

The first offer we gave was accepted, in spite of the multiple-offer bidding war!

Jim’s team, led by his wife – Donna, took exceptional care of us during the closing process: super diligent and efficient – in a way we did not think was possible. We’re beyond satisfied.

Finally, a word of warning: Jim is all business . If you’re looking for an agent that’s funny all the time and you want to socialize with – that ain’t Jim. Jim is serious and completely focused on his job. However, he will surprise you by cracking jokes here and there – when the time is right. And Jim’s timing – about everything – in our experience, was just PERFECT.

    Agents matter. Hope it’s all right to post this here. It’s too crazy not to share: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/22/3019052.htm

    Man’s house is sold out from under him while he’s out of country. The kicker quote is this one: agents should be wary of absentee land sales, late notifications of change of address, requests for urgent sale, promises of further business, any documents from Nigeria, and emails written in poor English.

    When visiting Australia last, I had the sense that it was about 20 years behind the rest of the world. Turns out, that’s true.

    Who could this Jim be? Congrats on I’m sure a well earned testimonial.

    There ought to be hundreds if not thousands of “Jim the Realtor(s)” in every city of size. Sadly, there aren’t.

    My daughter had the devil’s spawn for a realtor up in northern California. Way too many people have had a similar experience.

    Keep up the good work Jim (same to the other decent, professional realtors out there).

    Nice work, Jim, and big props to Nick as well.

    Jim, this is your livelihood, and it’s important to promote yourself – especially when it’s tastefully done like this.

    What a joy to read this! Doesn’t surprise me in the least. Jim is simply the best, and that’s why I check into bubbleinfo at least once a day. JtR is truly one in a million…

    You should not be embarrassed to share this, I’m sure it is one of many. I have shown some of your videos in my economics courses, and some students (i.e. the ones interested in the real estate business) have said you are a true inspiration (not to embarrass you any more)

    Thanks Cora.

    Erica – On Sunday I was in La Mesa and Alpine!
