“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 ▾

“Mr. Strum could not have been more attentive and helpful in literally every single part of the home buying process. He was patient in showing possible homes, never once making me feel pressured or trying to sway me a certain way; however, he was always thorough with answering questions and looking at the ins and outs of each house depending on my … interest level. He listened to me, gave strategic suggestions and went to bat for me in the negotiation process, putting me at ease through it all, and getting me down to the price I was comfortable with. He guided me through all of the details of purchasing the home (inspections, loans, closing, insurance, home improvements before move-in, etc), again, never being overbearing or making me feel he was trying to force me to use certain people, but giving me those options and guiding me through them when I did decide to go with his suggestions. I have highly recommended him to friends and family members in their home buying and selling process due to his flawless job with me. I have been in my home for almost 3 years and he continues to check in every now and then making sure there aren't any issues that I may need help figuring out who to call to get them fixed/covered. You will not be disappointed in this EXTREMELY hard working and dedicated real estate agent. He will make you feel like you are his only client, when that is certainly not the case” Read More ▾
