“James helped us find our first home. James was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. With his guidance we were able to find a house that not only worked within our budget, but for our family size and in our desired … location. James steered us clear of houses that we liked, but would've been far too much work for us as first time homeowners (and I'm so grateful for that now that we're in our new home). He helped us stay focused and precise in our search so that we weren't overwhelmed or looking at houses that would't fit our needs. James helped us navigate not only finding the house, but our mortgage, and the company for the home inspection. One thing I heard a lot from other people was "don't use the inspector your realtor suggests because they will just try to help them get the house sold". James absolutely suggested a great inspector that saved us from buying a house that needed major repairs. I felt completely supported in walking away from the first house we made an offer on when the owners wouldn't budge on the repairs. James gave us realistic goals of what to offer and what to ask for throughout our home buying process. The process through the closing was seamless and easy and he was available for questions whenever and was whenever we needed him. After the inspection he was able to get us what we needed to get some major repairs completed, and we even had enough left over to fix some other things as well. It was a long process from beginning to end, but James made it as easy as possible. I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a new home and we will definitely use him again if we need to purchase our next home.” Show More

“Fair, honest and hard working. I will use James again. He took the time not only to answer my questions, he was available nights, weekends and just about every time I wanted to view property.”

“After working with Cameron on our first day of showings, we knew we wanted to work with him throughout the process. We never felt like he was steering us wrong, and he always was realistic with us about our options, … about the homes we'd looked at, and about what we should expect. He was patient and understanding with us, even when we asked the same question 10 times. It took us two years and a pandemic, but we recently closed on a home! The experience of home buying can be arduous and frustrating, but Cameron helped to make the process less painful. I'd absolutely recommend working with The Strum Group, and would doubly recommend choosing to work with Cameron if you're able!” Show More

“James was very helpful in my home search and knew what I needed immediately. I was unfamiliar with the area in which I was purchasing a home and he informed me of the most desirable locations, even eliminating places … before I wasted time looking. The first and only house he showed me was the one we purchased and he negotiated into the night for a great deal. Before and after closing he was helpful in providing specialist that I needed to complete the purchase. He is personable, professional and I highly recommend him for real estate needs in Richmond VA. ” Show More

“Jamie did a great job for me by being very responsive and offering suggestions to improve the chance of selling my house while still being realistic. He had a wealth of information to show me regarding other homes that … I was competing against. The info was very helpful in understanding where I stood in the market place. This is a tough real estate market and I always knew he was working hard in my best interest. Heartily recommend him.” Show More

“Drew helped my wife and I purchase our first home. He was patient, thorough, and had excellent attention to detail. We were not financially ready to buy when we first met Drew, but when we met our goals, he was … ready and helpful setting up our search and considerations. He worked with us scheduling visits, which was no easy task given my wife's hectic nursing schedule and my commitments at work and at church. He caught little details such as listings that used alternative names for the schools we wanted to be near, which could have cost us opportunities at houses we wanted to look at. He even sought to secure homes that were not on the market yet, keeping us from undesirable bidding wars in an aggressive market. He also shared his experience with kitchen remodeling and other potential home improvements that we considered that helped us find the home we really wanted and not just a house.” Show More

“We were introduced to Mr. Strum by a relative who had glowing praises for his services in what was a very trying time for us. Facing the need to move my mother and close a house in a town … we no longer live was a daunting task. James certainly know how to make a good impression, meeting us on what turned out to be our first trip to Richmond to start disassembling the home. James offered honest advice on how to prepare the home for sale. Frankly, I would have been pleased with this performance, but his responsiveness was only the beginning. James connected us with all the service providers we needed to interact to paint, clean up, fix a failing heat pump at the lowest cost and complete necessary electrical and plumbing issues to close the sale. All this and he also kept me in the loop 100% of the time by email, phone and text messages. If you need a realtor will support you in a sale or a purchase, I sincerely believe James Strum is the agent you want to work with.” Show More

“Drew and his team did an outstanding job for us from start to finish. We interviewed a number of agents before we found Drew. He is an excellent listener and showed genuine interest in our historic home’s details and features. … Rather than viewing our property as just another product to put on the market, he took the time to study the overall potential and then put together a very creative marketing plan that attracted a huge amount of buyer; far beyond what we ever imagined. We were also very impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail and wonderfully calm demeanor while orchestrating the various elements as we prepared our home for market. He provided us with excellent stagers, painters, photographers and made suggestions that helped sell our home. With all of these aspects combined, in addition to negotiating hard on our behalf, Drew was able to get us 9 enthusiast offers. The end result was incredible, as we got $61,000 over asking!!! Not only did he work diligently throughout every step of the process, he made it a pleasant experience that we will always remember fondly. Selling a home can be a daunting challenge to undertake, but when you are working with a quality individual who employs an experienced team, the effort transforms from overwhelming into exciting. Drew and his team are not just outstanding, they are good people. We are so grateful we went with our instincts and selected him as our agent; the rest is history, in a wonderfully good way!” Show More

He was was always contacting us with updates and feedback … and made us comfortable through both the buying and selling process. He not only became our life long agent, but we now look at him as a friend. Thank you James for you knowledge, your understanding, and your responsiveness.” Show More

“I moved from out of state with my girlfriend and we did not know anything about the Richmond Area. James was very helpful in our search for a home as well as showing us the Richmond area. We … were also first time home buyers and James went above and beyond answering our questions and explaing items we did not understand. Both my girlfriend and I enjoyed our experience with James. 1/14/13***Just want to take some time to update my review of James, and again say that I would recommend him to anyone I know. After I had purchased the home above with James as my relator I was transfered 6 months later and needed to sell the same house. After I talked with James about this situation he called me back 1 day later and said he had the perfect people to buy my house. After that he took care of everything and sold the house before it was even on the market and for more $ than what I had paid 6 months prior. James always told me he brings buyers and sellers together for the best deal possible and that is exactly what he did. You can't find anyone better in the Richmond area to buy or sell a house” Show More

“If you are looking for someone who is qualified to list your home on MLS and qualified to walk you through the legal paperwork to sell your home, you can hire just about any Realtor. On the other hand, if you … are looking for someone who can hold the line and represent your interests when dealing with the Buyer's agent who wants you to go below your bottom line, if you're looking for someone who can effectively deal with people who are stressed over such a serious purchase, if you are looking for someone with a TON of experience that results in an almost intuitive feel for the current market and how to best to present your home in that market, if you're looking for someone with a proven ability to negotiate with the bank in your best interests under the stress of a short-sale, if you're looking for someone who won't waste your time with minutia but will deal with it head-on, if you're looking for a straigh-shooter who is transparent with what is going on behind the scenes, if you're looking for someone to help you logically and realisticly view the offer in front of you, well after having bought and sold eight homes, I've only met one of those.

“I don't think we could be happier with our experiences with James. We immediately had a sense that he was an expert in real estate and the Richmond area. He kept us informed of everything going on with … our search and our purchase once we found the right house. James and his staff were always available and really made us feel like we were his only client. Our four year old son didn't mind looking at house as long as James was there! I have already recommended him to anyone who needs an agent that will work hard for you and get you a fantastic outcome. Super agent. 100% satisfaction in all phases of the process of finding our dream home. We will always use James for our real estate needs” Show More

“Thank you Cole so much you your patience and genuine connection with us when it came to house hunting! Being first time home buyers, my husband and I didn’t know much of what to do or what comes next, … but Cole made it so smooth and easy for us. He answered any and all of our questions, even the ones we thought were too common sense of a question to ask. He never made us feel smaller and explained everything thoroughly. Thanks to Cole, we were able to buy our 1st home with out any frustrations or negative moments. Cole was always positive about everything! -The Ramirez Family” Show More

“The thing that surprises me the most about James is that he has 8 years of experience. After my first phone call with him, I would've guessed that he had 28 years instead. I've dealt with several realtors through my … years, and they all could have used some lessons from him. His relaxed style, vast knowledge, and superior professionalism sets him apart from the rest. He made what can be a highly stressful process almost effortless for us. I wouldn't recommend anyone BUT James for one's real estate needs. ” Show More
