Our Client Reviews

“We stumbled across Cole and quickly realized we could not have dreamed up a better realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and even more important - was very honest with us. There is no doubt that we would not be moving into our dream home if it wasn't for his intelligence and enthusiasm. We highly highly recommend Cole !”

“We interviewed 7 realtors, James Strum was our last interview. We were impressed with James professionalism and knowledge but also with his strategy approach to sell our home. We also loved his personality and we believed he was honest and a go getter. James Strum is a Seller's realtor that is his specialty! He listed our home and on the first … day we got an offer. Our home sold in three days but fours day to do the paperwork. The first loan fell through. James relisted our home and within 48 hours we were under contract. He brought us a full offer with no closing cost to buyer.. We moved 2300 miles before the completion of the closing but we never worried about anything. James handled every aspect of the sell and our closing to the end. If you are serious sellers or buyers do not overlook James Strum, he is a loyal and hard worker for his clients” 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 ▾

“Our experience with Jamie was incredible! We were first time home buyers who had no idea what we were getting into. He was so helpful with answering all of our questions and always made himself available. His relationship with the lender made our loan process easy. He was so open and honest about each house we looked at - what he knew to be good or … bad. Jamie never hesitated to look at any house we wanted to and always made time. In fact, the day the house we bought went on the market, he went above and beyond to get us in to look at it that same day, we made an offer that night and it was accepted the next day! We couldn't have asked for an more knowledgeable realtor. The horror stories you hear about home buying can be intimidating, but Jamie made it an effortless experience! We refer him every chance we get, knowing that he's going to treat every person he works with like family!” Read More ▾

“  We had an amazing experience working with Dave! We had only been living in Richmond for a year before beginning to look for a home, and it was super helpful to have him guide us through the buying trends in each neighborhood. He was positive throughout the whole process and patient as we looked for months during the craziness of the housi … ng market. He was also incredibly thorough in helping us understand the various paperwork that goes into making an offer and before our closing date. He's responsive, great with communication, and wants what's best for you (vs. pressuring you to buy just to make a commission). We've already recommended Dave to friends looking to buy or list their homes in the Richmond area, and plan to work with him again whenever we're ready for our next place” Read More ▾
