“If you are searching for the perfect realtor to help you find your new home, James Strum is the best match. We started working with James in 2/13 to find our first home. We found James to be responsive, professional, affable, and knowledgeable. James possesses the skills to make this whole process relatively painless. He was able to set us up … with a website immediately that allowed us to preview homes that were specific to our budget, location, and needs. We felt confident with his guidance and resources that we would find the right home. In a very limited market, we eventually found a home that exceeded our expectations and met our budget. James is an excellent negotiator and tenaciously fought in our best interest. I am not exaggerating when I say that James is available almost 24/7 by phone, text, and email. He even met us on Easter Sunday to put in a contract because he is that dedicated. Overall we are thrilled with the outcome and have been enjoying our new home. Thank you James for your hard work and paying us a housewarming visit! We would definitely work with James again in the future.” Read More ▾

“We used James to buy our house when we moved to Richmond three years ago based on a reference from a friend, and recently chose to use his firm to sell our house when we moved from Richmond based on the original experience. I am a very analytic person, and was extremely impressed by the quality and depth of James research regarding the market for … our property. He even suggested we go above the price that I originally discussed with him, which shows he had our best interest in mind and was not just interested in making an easier sell. Thanks to James, we got several thousand dollars above the original asking price that I was envisioning. I would highly recommend James and his firm to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Richmond, as his knowledge of the Richmond market, quantitative nature, and work ethic (the guy was sending me emails after I went to bed and before I got up) make him the ideal realtor” Read More ▾

“James is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and professional real estate agent. He has a vast knowledge of the Richmond market, negotiation, suggesting improvements, staging, etc. James kept in constant contact with us throughout the selling process and we never waited longer than an hour for a return call, day or night. By no fault of James, we w … ent through 3 purchase contracts before finally closing on our home. Through all of the challenges, James' enthusiasm to sell our home never faltered and his positive attitude kept us encouraged. We sold our home while we were out of town e and James' handled all of our repairs, maintenance and inspections. His professional contacts and willingness to handle the details was invaluable especially since we were 100’s of miles away. There wasn't a challenge we faced that James wasn't willing to tackle. By the end of our sale experience, we truly felt like we'd found a friend in James. I would recommend James to anyone looking for a first class realtor.” Read More ▾

“We would recommend James to others selling homes in the area, he did an excellent job for us. James is very knowledgeable and realistic. His guidance on pricing was consistently on target and reflected the realities of our particular market. When pricing the house he did a thorough review of comparables which he shared with us in order to expla … in why we could not expect to get the price we originally wanted. He provided excellent guidance on staging the house for sale, and he took and effectively used photos that presented the house and its surroundings at their best. James actively marketed the house and kept us informed regarding such things as the number of viewings and the reactions of the prospective buyers. When a buyer was found James facilitated our required activities as sellers (e.g., obtaining well testing and termite inspection, etc.)” Read More ▾
