Ranked Best in Richmond Real Estate by The Wall Street Journal

“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 ▾

“I would highly recommend James to anyone wishing to sell their home at the highest possible price and in the shortest length of time. He exhibited the utmost in professionalism and far exceeded my expectations. James is very knowledgeable of the real estate market and demonstrated this as he reviewed comps with me and patiently explained the hom … e selling process. James has a keen eye for what it takes to sell a home and a knack for home staging. The pictures that he took of my home were beautiful and really showcased the positive features that the home had to offer. When we discussed list price, I recall James saying, “If we price the home appropriately, it will sell quickly and at top dollar….trust me”. Well, James earned my trust many, many times over. He was able to sell my home in 3 days and at top dollar as he promised!! The purchase price was nearly spot-on with his recommended list price!!! James was always readily available to answer any questions that I had and did an outstanding job keeping me abreast of the process. From the beginning, I felt as if James had my best interest at heart and valued me as a client. He’s truly among the best of the best in real estate” Read More ▾

“After interviewing several agents, we chose James without reservation. His responsiveness and professionalism surpassed his peers. During our first meeting, James' knowledge of the area and ove rall world of real estate was immediately apparent. He provided practical, yet honest feedback about the process, our home, and the market conditions. James … never pressured us and always explained each option in full detail. James worked with us to develop a step by step plan that would meet our timeline while still keeping our monetary goals at the forefront. James has a welcoming demeanor that put our children at ease. Our toddler even asked for Mr. James to come back to see her. However, James is easily able to transition from an agreeable disposition to a businessman who will represent your interests to the fullest extent. He negotiated a top price for our home when compared to market conditions. He was also able to keep the requests from the other side extremely reasonable/necessary. James kept us informed of feedback from showings immediately and advised us on any appropriate changes. He was reachable by various means and responded immediately. James made our first selling experience worry free and successful. We recommend James Strum without reservation” Read More ▾
