“Cole was a great help to us purchasing our first home. His knowledge of the area, comparable prices and willingness to find what we wanted instead of selling us something is one of his greatest assets. … I've already started telling people about him! My kids are happy, my wife is happy and i'm happy with the process of shopping around and coming to the final decision to purchase. Forever grateful, The Browns” Show More
“I would strongly recommend James Strum to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He is knowledgeable of the market, area, process, and is willing to do the homework necessary to ensure a perfect fit! I had the privilege of … working with James on both sides of the table and was impressed with his ability to answer questions and provide honest feedback about what was realistic and would be best for me. When looking to buy my new home, James was willing to screen my home searches to ensure I was looking at homes that would meet my needs and interests. His advice and feedback were helpful when I was unfamiliar with certain locations or homes. I always felt as though James was looking out for my best interest. James was willing to give me his professional opinion and the options that were available so I good make informed decisions for my family. Throughout the process he painted a clear picture of what to expect. The day I closed on both the house I sold and bought there were no surprises! I feel that James assisted me in making the best choice for my family both now and for the future. I am very please and feel confident in my home choice. This level of comfort and excitement can be attributed to our outstanding agent, James Strum!” Show More
“This was our first home purchase and James was amazing. We are the type of people who are impatient when it comes to things we want, and James kept us grounded and on track. He never allowed us to reach … for house we were really didn't like/want just because we wanted a house already. He is extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of the housing process, from school districts, builders, neighborhoods, house pricing levels, etc. He was always available when we needed him, even late at night. :) James is very easy to talk with and you can trust that he is looking out for your best interest and your long term value. I would highly recommend James to anyone that is looking to sell or purchase a house. I know when we are ready to purchase our next home, James is the ONLY Realtor we am calling!!!” Show More
“Our circumstances were difficult ones and I don’t think we would have been successful if it weren’t for Jamie. She was extremely knowledgeable and honest. Nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble and she was never in a rush. … It became a long process but she stuck with us every step of the way She is one in a million.” Show More
“My wife and I purchased our first house recently with Cole as our realtor and he made the entire process as easy as possible for us. With his help and knowledge of my profession as a contractor we were able … to submit a creative offer that ultimately was accepted by the sellers. We will be using Cole when we move again!” Show More
“I reviewed James back in 2016 when he was with another agency (I actually joined Yelp just to write that review); it is worth repeating the review now that James has started his own company. Here is what we … said: James Strum found our dream home. We contacted James after several months of researching the Richmond market online and presented him with an impossible, multi-page list of requirements. When he told us at our first meeting that he had found our dream home, we looked at one another dubiously - but he was right! Furthermore, while the house was out of our price range, new to the market, and experiencing a great deal of interest, he was somehow able to negotiate our dream price as well. The house is still our dream home nearly two years later, and we remain grateful to James. We also appreciated the knowledge James was able to impart along the way. For example, he pointed out the "pros and cons" of various features in every home - knowledge that extended beyond that of a layperson. Finally, he was always available and went "above and beyond" in countless ways. We recommend James highly to anyone.” Show More
“We interviewed 7 realtors, James Strum was our last interview. We were impressed with James professionalism and knowledge but also with his strategy approach to sell our home. We also loved his personality and we believed he was … honest and a go getter. James Strum is a Seller's realtor that is his specialty! He listed our home and on the first day we got an offer. Our home sold in three days but fours day to do the paperwork. The first loan fell through. James relisted our home and within 48 hours we were under contract. He brought us a full offer with no closing cost to buyer.. We moved 2300 miles before the completion of the closing but we never worried about anything. James handled every aspect of the sell and our closing to the end. If you are serious sellers or buyers do not overlook James Strum, he is a loyal and hard worker for his clients.” Show More
“He knew what would be a good fit for me, in a suitable area, but was willing to show me a number of other places to help me compare and make up my own mind.”
“Drew is an amazing realtor professional. He delivered beyond our wildest imagination. He was very thorough, friendly, kind and responsive. I will certainly recommend him to all my friends for his exceptional services. My wife and appreciate Drew as a … friend and resource person in the community. Thanks again Drew for being so unique.” Show More
“I could write a novel about all the wonderful things James did for us, but I will try and keep this review short. Three years ago we started looking for a home on and off and happen to come … across a few realtors on the side of Zillow. We called three of them to no response and when we called the fourth, (James), he answered his phone right away. We are so fortunate that the first three realtors didn't answer, because James is THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!! Patient, knowledgeable, responsive and most of all TRUTHFUL are all words I would use to describe James. We saw a few houses that we might have put offers in on and James could have made a quick sale, but he would point out reasons why he wouldn't touch it like cracking driveways, too close to highways, overpriced etc. He is always looking out for his clients. His negotiation skills are second to none! Even though we closed on our house six weeks ago, James is still available to us to answer any question we have and he knows a boatload of top contractors, plumbers and electricians that have done amazing jobs as well and have helped us make our house our home. You will never find another realtor who makes you feel as if you are his only client, EVER! His team is really wonderful as well! In closing, if you are on the fence about hiring a realtor, please do yourself a favor and hire James, I promise you will NOT be disappointed!!!” Show More
“Cole and the team at The Strum Group have been a pleasure to work with. Cole is very responsive and easy to get in touch with. He was on top of things throughout the way and proactive to ensure things … were handled so that we had a smooth closing. We looked at quite a bit of homes due to the size of the area we were looking in and Cole took it in stride and was always ready to show us another home if we saw something we were interested in. The knowledge of the area and the real estate market was evident while working with Cole and the team, they are a top notch group!” Show More
“Drew took the time to become familiar with what me and my husband were looking for. And he was always available to us at any time of the day which made working with Drew a pleasure. I can’t thank him … enough with helping us find a newly built move-in ready home in just a week.” Show More
“Drew was amazing from start to finish. He helped us find the home of our dreams and we couldn't have done it without him. Drew made us feel comfortable, always responded to our calls/emails right away, and truly cared about … finding us the right home for our family. We are so glad we found Drew and will be recommending him to anyone we know looking to buy a home! He truly went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful to him! Thanks Drew for everything!!! You are the absolute BEST!!!!” Show More

He is responsive to questions and I never felt like he didn't have time for me … and my concerns. I recommend him highly, and plan on working with him on any future home sales or purchases!” Show More
“Cole is an excellent realtor who took the time to get to know me, my girlfriend, and the members of my family who occasionally came along to view homes. I had extremely limited knowledge when it came to buying … a home and Cole helped me to narrow down the type of house and the location, as well as suggest some alternate locations that I hadn't thought of prior to starting my search. Additionally, Cole suggested that I view some homes that met what I was looking for that I may have otherwise missed without his assistance. Cole is extremely patient, knowledgeable, hardworking, and would willingly adjust his schedule to accommodate the times we could view homes. Furthermore, Cole was straight up with the information he shared and he told us exactly what it would take to have an offer accepted on a home. His insight was invaluable and it ultimately led to us getting a home in an extremely competitive market. I highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a home and I will definitely call Cole when I purchase a home in the future. L” Show More
“James is a dedicated, professional, and hard-working agent who was excellent to work with in buying our first home. From the beginning, and throughout the home buying process, he guided us in finding exactly what we were looking for and … honed in on what we needed in our first home. He truly listened to our input and concerns, while making recommendations along the way. I would highly recommend James as a buyers agent for anyone looking to buy a house in the Richmond area. His responsiveness, availability, and flexibility made it easy to work around all our busy schedules. If and when we are in the market again, we will undoubtedly look forward to working with James in the future.” Show More
“After struggling to find someone to help us short sale our condo, I found James Strum via Zillow. I sent him an email and he responded to me within twenty four hours. The day after that he called me and … we started the selling process. I had never sold a house before, and to top it off was short selling after losing my job. James was incredibly patient with all of my questions. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like James cared about teaching me as we went along. He was very clear on the paperwork I needed to gather and the communication I needed to submit to out bank. He explained how he wanted me to show the house, and helped me move furniture to make it look even nicer. He put our condo on the market while we were on vacation, and he got a contract within seventy two hours!!!! I was so excited I didn't even want to believe it at first. We had discussed that short sales were a long process, but getting a contract do quickly was a huge first step. Following the act of getting the contract, I did everything James told me as quickly and accurately as possible, as he was very knowledgeable on what we needed to do. As it turned out, our efforts payed off and the closing was moved up. All in all it took about forty five days to sell and close on our house. I could not be more impressed with how if all worked out and truly believe it was all because of James. He was AMAZING to work with. Confident, efficient, attentive, timely, responsible, dedicated, and personable. I can't wait until we are able to buy one day because he will be the person I trust to help me.” Show More
“Cole was very knowledgeable at every property we went to see. He genuinely cares about all of his clients in finding the home of their dreams. He’s easy to get along with and once you tell him what you want, … he runs with it! He’s down to earth and the best realtor that we’ve encountered in our years of the home buying process! Choose Cole!” Show More
“I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for an excellent agent. James was extremely helpful from the moment he introduced himself. In addition to information on the listing and sale, he helped arrange contractors in instances when … scheduling of our usual ones proved difficult. He was always available for questions or information. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the market and our area. In our circumstance, he found a qualified buyer who committed to a strong contract. For reasons unrelated to James' work with the negotiations and/or contract the buyer indicated that he might breach the contract. Despite not being able to put the house back on the market, James still found another buyer within just days. And not just any buyer, but one that offered the full asking price for the home. James constantly followed up on details and made sure everything went through smoothly. I would certainly recommend him to my family and friends.” Show More
