A genuine, responsive, and caring professional! These words would best describe James and my experience working with him as part of my military posting from an afar province to Halifax. James continually demonstrated a high standard of awareness of the challenges associated with my relocation program, my move schedule, my family needs, and cost considerations. His methodical approach from preparing for a house hunting trip to its smooth execution, provision of access to key data, responsiveness to changes in bookings / search criteria, and astute analysis during negotiation continually added value to my home purchase experience. I have come to know James as a genuinely caring professional who holds to himself to a high standard, as well as other home services vendors that he would dare offer for my consideration. I was able to get access to an excellent home inspector (thanks Shawn!), and I would not hesitate to seek other recommendations from James. I very much appreciated his post-purchase follow-through, handling of issues, and taking the time to check in on my family and I once we arrived in our new home. Further testaments to his genuine care that sets him apart were his generous house warming gift and small gestures to help save my busy family some time. James is among the best Realtors with whom I have worked over the course of my 20+ year career and resultant relocations. I highly recommend him.
