If I could, I would give Jim more than five stars.His experience was invaluable in helping us see past the pretty pictures and visualize ourselves in each home we looked at. Without Jim, we would not be in our beautiful new home. He showed incredible patience during our home search and sourced out the perfect home for us. During the negotiation process he had our full faith and trust to get the deal done at the price we wanted and he did.He is a trusted partner in your home search. Jim is interested in getting you into your perfect home and not just closing a deal. I couldn't recommend he and his entire team more.

Jim is a consummate professional and lovely human! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market, and was a perfect match for a first time buyer. He was supportive and comprehensive, meeting after every visit for a full debrief of each property's pros and cons. He carefully listened to likes/dislikes while also giving his own opinion and take on each property. I appreciated how he treated us like we were incredibly important and valued, even though we were far from being a big sale! I couldn't recommend Jim more!

Jim did an exceptional job of listing, marketing, and selling my loft at 101 Regent Avenue. The process began with his clear managing of my expectations by identifying to me the strengths and weaknesses of my property in terms of the market, neighborhood, trends in the community, history of sales in my building, potential buyers expectations and so on.In this instance, the comprehensive understanding of all of these factors and excellent communication skills of a truly professional agent resulted in a successful outcome. If "fortune favors the prepared" Jim and his team made certain that I was completely ready at every stage of the process: His designer came and gave us expert, concise advice on staging our property, right down to paint colors, his photographer came and created spectacular images which were displayed to best advantage on the Residential Properties Website, and there was flawless, follow up on all of the myriad details right through the closing.Jim made himself totally available throughout the process, staying in touch when necessary via text and phone on weekends, early morning, after hours, whatever it took to get the job done. He held several open houses, coordinating with his team to be certain our property received plenty of exposure and I believe there was much additional work that went on behind the scenes in terms of negotiation with buyers through dialogue with their agents. I am certain that we received top dollar because of Jim De Rentis's expertise aligned with Residential Properties which is a world class realtor.

Jim helped us quickly find a house in an ideal location for us. He has so many contacts on the East Side and in the Oak Hill section of Pawtucket that he knew about houses coming on the market even before they were advertised. He also knows what to look for in terms of potential problems when looking at a property. We felt he wasnt just trying to make a sale; he seemed to want us to find a place that we would genuinely love. I already recommended Jim to one of my friends, and would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a place around the East Side or Oak Hill!

Jim really knows the neighborhood (East Side and Oak Hill). He's totally professional and honest. He also connected us to an excellent mortgage broker. He also has an eye for detail. As we did the home inspection he immediately noticed that the prior owner did a lot of work on the house himself, which was somewhat obvious to us but not to the extent we realized until Jim pointed it out. This definitely saved us some money and hassle after our move-in. We highly recommend Jim.

We reached out to Jim when we started our housing search because he was highly recommended by our friends. Jim was the perfect agent and real estate coach for us newbies. He was patient with our naA?vetA(C) and knowledgeable not only about the neighborhood we were interested in but also other places around the state. We appreciated that he gave us space to think through our preferences while advising us on the lifestyle and financial implications of prospective decisions. We felt like he was personally invested in finding us a home that closely matched our wishlist and, boy, did he deliver!! We strongly recommend Jim to other buyers.

Jim is absolutely the best realtor we could have asked for to help us find our new home. He is extremely knowledgeable about the East Side of Providence, knew exactly what the house we were looking to buy would sell for, and is on top of every detail throughout the buying process.
