“Sean was amazing! He made the home buying process super easy. He was always available to talk or answer questions. He wasnt pushy in any way. Would work with him again in a heartbeat. He was on time for any meeting we had and always solving issues for us with ease. Highly recommend him!”
“James was AMAZING in helping us do a short sale on our house in Richmond, VA. When we were looking at realtors one of the big things we asked about was if they knew about short sales, James said he did, and wow did he. I don't know if any other realtor could have sold our house for us and even got our bank to write off the balance of our second … mortgage. He really fought with our bank to get everything to go through and got the buyers to pay more than they offered just to get our house. At this time in the real estate market we were really scared what was going to happen and then when we moved to Maine, I thought there was no way to pull it off. THANK YOU James” Read More ▾
“This was my first purchase of a home. There is no other agent I would have rather worked with. This guy HUSTLES. Due to this being my first home, we had a moderate budget. Cole treated me like I was a million dollar buyer. He would find time last minute if there was a property that we wanted to see. If we stepped into a house and it didn't fit … my criteria, Cole was the first one to say, "NEXT!". He knew exactly what we were looking for. Cole's responsiveness, dedication to his clients, and humor are what sold me on him. All he cared about was making sure that I got what I wanted. If you want someone to understand your needs, work around the clock, and get you a great deal, this is who you need to work with. Thank you for a phenomenal first time home buying experience. We will definitely be working with him when it is time to sell and buy” Read More ▾
“Cole is the Grestest on the east coast. An all around knowledgeable person. Easy to work with and will make sure you get what you deserve and more. Wonderful personality and made something difficult so seamless and streamlined. If you don’t buy your home from Cole you already losing.”
“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” Read More ▾

James is not only great at selling he also is a great buyer's agent . The only thing I have left to say is thank you Jame” Read More ▾
“We started using James while looking for potential rental properties. He was always up for looking at any property we wished to see. Over the course of six months, this idea fizzled out, however we did see an opportunity to sell our home and upgrade to a larger house in a better neighborhood. James was optimistic, yet honest about the market. He w … as able to set and market a price on our home that was on par with our expectations. When an offer came through, he was able to negotiate very well, and got us a great final offer on our house. When looking for the new home, he was great in offering advice on how he felt the place would pay off in the long run. We were able to find the home we wanted, and Jame's negotiation skills came into play again, and he got us a great deal on the home of our choice. His contacts (lender, closing agents) were a great asset, and were very competitive, and ended up getting my business” Read More ▾
“Sean did an exceptional job in helping me find a new home. He was there every step of way through the purchase. Always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Highly recommend him to anyone looking you buy or sell a home”
“James promised us a quick sale, and we got it! Some of it was our house, of course, but he negotiated us a great offer, after guiding us through the best repairs to make to get top dollar on the house. He helped find us good contractors to prepare the house, and was very available every step of the way. I was dreading the process, but it was ac … tually incredibly easy with James. He was recommended by a friend who had the same experience as us! Thanks, James!” Read More ▾
“The Strum Group of Long and Foster did an excellent job for us. I highly recommend them. Jamie Richardson did an amazing job finding us the perfect new home. We will be using their services to upgrade and sell our old home once our move is completed. I highly recommend both James and Jamie.”
