Where do I begin? Indeed, how does one go about the task of tabulating the myriad ways in which James has facilitated the entire process of purchasing a new home. As first time homebuyers, we had heard horror stories from our friends & relatives about the veritable laundry list of things that could potentially go wrong. With James in our corner, we barely had a single hitch. Throughout it all, from traipsing around the city looking at properties (even on Sundays!), to negotiating with the seller in order to ensure we got the most for our money, to the final stroke of the pen on Closing Day, James was there for us. Regardless of the time of day or day of the week, he was always available to answer our questions - and believe me, we had PLENTY of questions! The knowledge he demonstrated in terms of the housing market, the appeal of different neighborhoods, quality of construction (or even, at times, a lack thereof), design aesthetics, etc., was extremely impressive. His congenial personality and jovial - yet delightfully quirky - sense of humor were extremely welcome whenever things started to get hectic. And his quick wit, coupled with a laid back - yet professional - demeanor kept our minds at ease & assuaged our apprehensions whenever we started to feel the stress mounting. All in all, working with James in buying our condo helped make the entire experience quite easy and relatively hassle - free. To say that I would not hesitate to recommend him to someone looking to become a homeowner is a complete understatement. If you're in the market for a house or condo in the Chicagoland area (even if you're just thinking about it!) you'd be remiss not to have James as your Realtor Extraordinaire. In fact, I would insist upon it.Nate DeVann, Old Irving Park
