My wife and I worked with James to purchase our first home and really can’t say enough good things about him! He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with James made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend James. - Jim

James was great. He helped me downsize and find a condo in Halifax. He moved quickly and i got my offer accepted the day I toured and luckily got the place. I really thank him for being so quick and responsive! - Christine

We listed our home in Fall River with James after trying a few times with other agents, we are happy to say that we sold the home in less then a month and couldn't be more happier. James and his team are very professional and really know their stuff! from staging to his 3D imaging of the home it was really a step above what we have seen. We highly recommend James. - Colleen

James came highly recommended from one of my friends. He really cares about his clients and made me feel comfortable about the whole process. He found me the perfect home after we searched for so long and i can proudly say the wait was worth it. James really had my back from day one and thats what really mattered to me the most. - Krista H

Meeting James and learning about what he does when it comes to marketing a home is truly inspiring. His use knowledge and use of digital marketing is above and beyond anyone else that we have used in the past. We had our home listed for a year and half and didn't receive the amount of viewings that we did in our first week of listing our home. Happy to say we sold the home in the first week and are very satisfied with the end result. Thank you James! - Lou

James made buying our first home a hell of a lot less confusing. He’s very straight forward and doesn’t try to skirt past any negatives of the property in order to get you to buy. He’s down to earth, easy to get along with and he genuinely wants you to be happy with your home, he’s not just looking to make quick cash. I have recommended him to multiple friends and I will definitely be using him When our family outgrows this home and to buy a bigger one! - Roben Carpenter

He's been our guide through our 10 months on the market. Helped us advertise our house professionally, offered honest advice and ultimately kept us on track until our house sold. He's different than other Realtors I have dealt with. He has a unique approach to selling through social media, and puts a lot of effort into a very polished product. Would, and will, highly recommend James for buying and selling any real estate! - Ryan Sweeney

I'll start off with saying thank you James! You've been there right from the start with me whether it was answering all my questions.. taking the time out of your busy day to run keys around and unlock doors for me.. needless to say your approach to realty is one I've have never witnessed before. Dedicated to keeping your clients informed and satisfied goes along way in this business and I can seriously say this process was a breeze with you. I highly recommend James to anyone seeking my same experience. Thanks again my friend! - Jeff Cook

Our home was listed for over a year with plenty of showings but no offers. A friend recommended I contact James and we had a long meeting where James took the time to explain to us the current market conditions, what he saw as the right strategy to get our home sold. It was apparent that James was both very knowledgeable and passionate at about what he does. We followed his advice and within 6 weeks we had a sold sign on our front lawn. There aren't enough stars in this rating system to give James what he deserves, he has our highest recommendation. You won't be disappointed if you choose James to get your home sold. - Roger Daigle

James is one of the most hardworking and dedicated persons that I have ever met. He provides his clients with all the tools they need to make an informed decision when buying or selling their home.

James sold me my first home and was awesome every step of the way! - Ryan Raniowski

I wish I could give more than 5 stars as 5 doesn't quite express how much we loved working with James. As a young couple searching for our first and forever home we couldn't have found anyone better to help us with the search than James. His knowledge and experience shone through and put our minds at ease about making this life changing purchase. He made himself available for us at any time and made us feel comfortable asking as many questions as we had. We have now been in our home for 1 month and still have absolutely no doubts that we found the right home for us, and a lot of that was having complete confidence in the information that James and his team brought to us before we signed. If you are looking for a knowledgeable agent, who goes above and beyond and truly cares about his clients look no further than James Dwyer. - Natasha Brooks

My husband were very happy and loved working with James. He was knowledgeable, dependable, professional and provided us with all the right information in the sale of our home. Great feedback and tips on getting the property listed, he acted quickly and was always available which all led to our home selling in just under 3 weeks. Thank you James for a job well SOLD and we would highly recommend James to others! - Patty Howard

We interviewed four realtors when we were ready to list our home. James was our top choice for many reasons. With a great understanding of an ever-changing market, he created a tailored marketing approach for us. His understanding of how to strategically use social media channels to bring in the right buyer was undoubtedly a key factor in helping to sell our home. The walk-through video generated a lot of interest and was another stand-out feature of his approach. Once it came time for negotiations, James remained professional and always had our best interests in mind. We will gladly recommend James to anyone we know selling a home. - Tara Haley O'Brien

We are really impressed with James. He is honest with us and has been a very dependable advocate in all things related to our selling/buying process. I have confidence in him because he has answers for our questions and isn't afraid to go into detail when we ask. He also has people he trusts that he goes to when he isn't 100% sure. This is so much better than someone who magically has all the answers. His passion for the business is clear and he helped us get excited about the process. Selling your home and buying a new one is a lot of work but he was able to make sure we were always focused on the right things so we never felt like we were wasting our time. - Scott MaCDONALD

James of Press Realty assisted our family in selling our parents' house and I have to say, I was impressed. Having dealt with many real estate agents in the past over various properties personally and professionally I can honestly say that James goes beyond what I have seen as the "norm" when it comes to his efforts on marketing, staying in touch with the seller with constant updates (which is an important factor to me!) as well as going out of his way to resolve issues that come up either by solving them himself or accessing a network of specialists, all being professionals in their own fields. For anybody looking for a good, hardworking representative that will go all out and above and beyond to sell your house, James struck that chord and I would recommend his services. - Jeff Hogg

James assisted us in buying our first home. We had a ton of questions and concerns and he pleasantly addressed and answered all of them in great detail. He is very dedicated and hard working and will work until he finds the right house for you. I always felt very comfortable and taken care of with James representing us as home buyers. He stayed with us throughout the entire process and ensured that we understood everything. Buying our first home was extremely easy with James. He organized everything for us and provided great people to assist in the areas that he could not, for example recommending a home inspector and lawyer. I would recommend anyone to James in a heartbeat! - Michelle King

James assisted my husband and I in the purchasing of our first home. We were unfamiliar with the process and James's guidance throughout was invaluable. We had an initial meeting with him where he went over the buying process, including timelines, provincial regulations of the housing market, and Halifax real estate in general. Once we gave him our criteria, James set to work, sending us listings that matched our budget and wants. He was always flexible in meeting us and showing us houses and encouraged us to go to see many different kinds of houses to become educated in Halifax real estate. Once we found a house we wanted to put an offer on, James worked diligently and we managed to get our house for OVER $25K UNDER ASKING!!! He was always available for us and is timely in his response. His team at Press Realty helped us through the entire process and all were wonderful to work with. The number one reason why we would recommend James is because he is HONEST. He truly represented us to the best of his abilities and and kept our best interest as his top priority. He is genuine, sincere, dedicated, and his no-BS approach to helping us buy our home made the whole experience very pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend him to ANYONE looking to purchase or sell a home. James is the most knowledgeable, friendly, and hard-working real estate agent and we will definitely be using him in our future real estate endeavors. - Jerad Furze

My husband and I purchased our 7th home recently and James' help was exceptional - the best realtor service we have ever had!!!! His professionalism, knowledge of the neighbourhoods in the Halifax/Dartmouth area, and tough negotiator when needed, got us our dream home! His dedication was beyond our expectations. He was always available by phone, text, or email. I would recommend James to anyone looking to buy or sell their home - he will provide you with the superior service you deserve. - Caron Taylor

I found James through a friend of mine. I was re-listing my home as I had no success with my original listing and I really needed someone that could sell. I was also already moved away to another city so I desperately needed someone that I could trust that was willing to take time to go to my property and make sure it is in good shape. After chatting few times with James I felt he sounded promising and I let him know the kind of realtor I was looking for and what my expectation was, he gladly accepted my requests. Sure enough he kept his promise and frequently checked my property to ensure it is in its best shape for viewing, he followed up with buyer after every viewing and gave me update. Within three months he was able to secure a buyer for me, unfortunately the inspector found a problem with my house, James went above and beyond and referred a contractor to me that would charge less than if I went with someone else and we got the problem fixed and in the end it was win win for me and the buyer. I strongly recommend James to anyone that is looking for a realtor, he is really personally, approachable, most importantly he keep his promises, and he will keep you informed. This was a very important factor when i was looking for a good realtor. - Arlene Lawrence

James is a realistic, passionate and experienced real estate professional. He goes above and beyond for his clients while making you feel as if you're the only one who has his undivided attention. In helping to sell my parents home, his communication was excellent, guiding us every step of the way, through the most unexpected circumstances. He turned what could have been a negative experience into a positive one. For that reason alone I could never thank him enough. Without hesitation, my husband and I would highly recommend James for all of your real estate needs. - Susanne Baker

James Dwyer is a really professional down-to-earth realtor. My wife and I were searching for a home in HRM from another province and as we choose our favorites, James would visit them and give us the pros and cons of each (this really helped in a world where every home picture was photo-shopped to look amazing). When we arrived in HRM to view homes and ultimately to choose one, James highlighting important aspects of homes and the homes real value. This was our first home and we had no real clue on the process, but James made us feel comfortable and well-informed and promptly answered any of our questions. I had recommended James to a friend of ours at the same time we were buying and they are also extremely pleased. He has continued to followup with us to ensure we are happy with our home and we will continue to recommend him to others. - Damen Meade

James is truly the very best at his job. We gave him a tough sell in tough circumstances and he remained strong and positive and in the end got us exactly what we wanted. He sold our condo when we didn't think it was possible. James always provided options and advice and we were truly well taken care of. He is real, down to earth, and great at making sure everyone has the facts and a good understanding of everything that's going on. He was always available to answer our questions and he made us feel like we were the only clients he had. He is the most passionate, professional and personable person I have ever met. There is no doubt James will be our first call the next time we are in the market for buying or selling. - Kelsey Hooper

My fiancé and I couldn't have asked for a more dependable, knowledgeable, fun and professional agent to help us make the biggest financial decision of our lives. James was great at explaining things I didn't understand, which let's be honest, was a lot. He was available whenever we needed him and walked us through the process with ease. Buying your first home is a stressful time, and James helped relieve some of that stress with all of his knowledge, trustworthiness, as well as his sense of humor. James does more than help people find a house, he helps them find a community and a home. A place you're proud of, a place you look forward to raising your family and growing old with the person you love. James helps complete your story. Thank you James for making mine and Ryan's dream come true, we truly love our new home and couldn't be happier. - Rebecca Golden

I reached out to Mr. Dwyer to gather information on the possible options for selling my house. I had just finalized my divorce & wanted to be rid of my house for sentimental reasons, but thought some expert advice might guide me in balancing the speed of sale vs. getting the best dollar value for my house. I was originally of the mindset to just offload the house at any price, even at a loss. I believed my house might have even been un-sellable in its current condition. He brought with him statistical information about what similar houses in my neighbourhood were selling for and helped advise what steps I could take to make my house on par with theirs. He walked through my house and reminded me of all of the good features my house already had but I failed to recognize in my depressed state. He was incredibly patient with me over the course of the next few months as I slowly made improvements to the house. Time and time again, I would ask him questions, or tell him I was ready to list the house and then suddenly I'd change my mind. Each time he was understanding and professional. After finishing the renovations, Mr. Dwyer came in and made a listing for my house I never dreamed could have been possible. He made my house look unbelievably good in description, photos and a video. His social media presence helped get my house the attention it needed. After just one month on the market, I accepted an offer at the precise dollar value he had predicted for me 7 months beforehand. I made a 537.5% return on investment on the materials required to do the upgrades he had recommended. Without the perfect balance of his knowledge of the market, his empathy for understanding my struggles, and his ability to advertise a home better than anyone else, I would be struggling financially and emotionally right now. Instead, I have sold my house at a significant profit and have the freedom I worried I'd never have. Thank you Mr. Dwyer. - Bernard Langille
