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.
