lpescara Buyer • Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, VA

“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.” Read More ▾

“An amazing agent, and an amazing team! We have had a terrible past two years, and are having to short sell our house. Once I met with James, I felt better about the process. James told me what to expect, and that he would sell the house within the month. Within 6 weeks, our house was under contract in spite of major problems and issues includi … ng foundation problems and such. He has been very encouraging in a difficult situation, and continues to be pro-active and supportive as we move forward with the sale of our house. I have already recommended him to several friends, and greatly encourage others to use his agency” Read More ▾

“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 ▾

“Cole is the best! He went above and beyond! Can't thank him enough. We went through a lot but he helped get the house! He was there for any questions we had no matter what they were!”

msluna1201 Buyer/Seller • North Chesterfield, VA

“What a Team! I followed James specific yet simple instructions on staging my home, he put my house on the market and within hours, we had an offer well over asking price! Any obstacle that arose was swiftly handled by his arsenal of contractors, with James constantly assuring me “Don’t worry, I … got it covered!” He was even willing to get the neighbor’s grass cut so that it would not interfere with the sale of my house. You rock James! Linda Elmore was a gem to work with as a buyer’s agent. She really knows her stuff! Her alertness, research and quick follow up led me to the house of my dreams in a short period of time. Closing both homes on time during a holiday week was the cherry on top, thanks to the hard work of both agents. James and Linda responded quickly to all my questions and concerns and truly made me feel like they were on my side 200%. I highly recommend the Strum Group !!!” Read More ▾

“Jamie was exactly the real estate agent we needed. We had a tight turnaround to get into a new home before our lease ended, and he helped find us great options in a very competitive market while making sure that we did not settle, even with our tight timeline. We ended up in our first choice of neighborhood in a home that we absolutely love because … of him. He was readily available, extremely knowledgeable about the market, and patient with our learning process as first time homebuyers. I would send any friend his way to buy or sell a home” Read More ▾

“James is the epitome of what you should expect from a real estate professional. He’s knowledgeable, accountable, and able to see the big picture. His communication and follow-through enabled the trust my wife and I had placed in him to grow quickly. This allowed us to focus our energy on the purchase and move to our new home. Ja … mes was even there for us to answer questions about the purchase of our new home (in another area of the state) even though he wasn’t involved in the transaction. James and the whole Strum team are the standard of excellence in real estate ensuring every client receives an unmatched level of service. Thank you” Read More ▾

Mike and Lynn Herron

“James is hands down the absolute BEST agent we've ever worked with. We've now closed on seven real estate transactions with James from both sides - as buyers and sellers. Needless to say our first encounter with James was by chance as we were relocating to Richmond from Vermont 13 years ago as a family of 6. James' assistance … relocating from Vermont to Richmond was nothing less than exceptional. As hard as it is to believe, each transaction since has increasingly elevated the level of personalized service and professionalism James has provided. His responsivness, knowledge, expansive networking across the real estate marketplace is unparalled!! Whatever, your real estate needs, James is certainly the real estate professional you can TRUST and RELY on. Mike and Lynn Herro” Read More ▾

Morgan and Randall

“James came recommended from the realtor selling our house. His initial talent was that even though he clearly does a lot of business, he made us feel like we were his most important clients. He spent over an hour with us on a call, listening to our hopes for the sort of home we wanted, as well as our deal-breakers. Over the cour … se of a few months, we drove to Chesterfield multiple times to see houses, and he offered vital insight into the benefits and detriments if we were to try to compete for each house. Which houses were going to go for significantly over asking? What would be the problems with each house that we'd need to deal with over the next five years? He was blunt and honest, and his greatest talent is his unrivaled knowledge of both the market and the needs of a house, so that we had as clear a picture as possible. When we found a house we loved, he did not sugarcoat what it would take to get it, and we met those terms and came away with it. We HIGHLY recommend James” Read More ▾

“When making the move to the Richmond, VA area I wanted to find a realtor that was rooted in RVA and had a great reputation. I asked my seller's agent in WV for a recommendation and she suggested James Strum, and I am sure glad she did!

“I worked with Janes Strum for the better part of a year prior to putting my home up for sale. He advised me on market trends, upgrades that would add value to the house, and connected me to reliable contractors. Once I was ready to sell, I vacated the house and moved out of state. James then ensured that the work on the h … ouse that could best be done when empty was completed in a timely manner.
