About James Ray

Hi, my name is James Ray nice to meet you (LOL) and my wife's name is Melissa. I have been married to Melissa for six years. Our wedding was on January 10th, 2009 if you may remember a very snowy day in Southeast Michigan. We welcomed a baby boy named Vincenzo in April 2013. We are excited to soon give Vincenzo a sibling to love and teach family values and traditions. I believe in picking the right home and neighborhood for you and your family like I have. Getting involved in the community humbles the soul and brings out the true person in you. I graduated from Linden High School and completed my Bachelor's Degree in Finance at Central Michigan University. I am a full service Realtor and Mortgage Banker for a very successful team and have over 13 years of experience. I believe in doing the right things (karma). To keep life exciting and simple: I like to focus on the positive side of things. I have a lot of family traditions like making cannoli's, holiday cookies, bocce ball tournaments, homemade bread and pastas just to list a few. We love to celebrate New Year's, Easter, 4th of July, summer vacations, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas with family and friends. Spending time with our family and friends is most important to us. As a couple we enjoy boating, golfing, bowling, snow skiing, playing cards, working out, running, being together and warm hugs. We would love to treasure these moments with you and welcome you to our family as well. Once a client always a family member without you we wouldn't be able to do these things! My 2 Favorite things 1. An old fashion hand shake (never grew up in the wild west just like honesty + trust) 2. Client + Trust = Referral NMLS # 23412

James was very professional, knowledgeable, and informative. Every time I had a question he was prompt in getting back to me. I liked the updates and how he went over and beyond. It was my first time using him and I will continue to recommend him. Above all he was honest and fair in helping me get my dream home, and even provided alternatives if I could give 6 stars I would. Thank you so much James! ??

As first time home buyers Sal made the experience great for us. He took the time to explain anything we had questions about. Sal is a family man but always made himself available to work with our schedule. He was willing to out to the property when the listing agent wasn't to tie up loose ends with the appraisal. Sal was patient and showed us different houses in our range which allowed us to narrow down what we really wanted. I would recommend him to others.

I would like to start this review with, I don't write bad reviews. This agent deserves a more poor review. Agents are supposed to represent the seller in negotiations. James Ray fell on his face and communicated NOTHING. Offers were written to the seller that I doubt she ever saw. We "worked" with him for a month. No communication from him except me begging him for feedback and responses. We NEVER received anything from James in writing. He told us of counteroffers-but in texts and verbally. When the WRITTEN counteroffer was made-NO RESPONSE ever occurred. This man and his agency will be reported for breaking the trust placed in him to present all offers to the seller. The really stupid thing about this whole situation is that because of his poor conduct, the seller could have received a stronger offer from me on this house and more money in the buyers pocket. James is an embarrassment to good real estate agents who unite buyers and sellers. I am not sure what James' game is, but it is not legitimately working in an honest and aboveboard fashion. AVOID this agency! Save yourself a month of wasted time, energy & frustration.

From start to finish Sal was a true professional. He visited multiple properties with us and took his time to explain everything to us and made the process very comfortable. At the end we got the property wanted at a better price than expected. It was a very smooth process for us, thanks to Sals guidance and experience. Great experience and would recommend Sal for your real estate needs.

David was an amazing agent! He worked tirelessly to find us the perfect house and worked around our crazy schedules to get as many showings as we could on days that worked for us! He was fantastic to work with and I cannot recommend him enough! If youre looking to buy a new to you home or sell your house David should definitely be your first call!!

FAQ

Answered Questions

Are real estate agents getting paid differently?

Real Estate Agents need to disclose the commission they are making upfront before a contract is wrote up. The Department of Justice just want to know that the buyer and seller both negotiated the commission before entering into a purchase contract. Example Buyer Agent would have to sign a buyer agency contract explaining the commission and duties they are going to perform for the buyer and then find the buyer a home. Before most buyers agents took the commission the seller would offer.
