About James Ruffolo

I take pride in giving my customers the best real estate experience possible. I love meeting new people and I will work hard to meet your highest expectations. I'm readily available 7 days a week by phone, e-mail or text. E-mails are sent to my phone, so I'm always quick to respond no matter which way you choose to contact me. When working with Buyers: * I check for new listings daily and only send you homes that fit your criteria rather then sending you 50 to choose from. * My comparative market analysis (home comparing report) are always free. I will help you understand the market values in the neighborhood that you wish to buy a home. * I keep you updated regularly whether we are still in the process of finding a home or if we already have a contract that we are looking to close. When dealing with short sales, this process can take awhile but I will touch based with the listing agent and relay this information back to you. When working with Sellers: * Advising my customer of the suggested sell price by using comparative analysis reports but ultimately going with the price that my customer feels comfortable listing it for. If we receive little or no activity, I will recommend that we lower the price so that our listing does not become stagnant and ineffective. * Advising my customers of all the media outlets that will be used to expose the property to the public and providing routine updates with activity feedback. * If selling your home for short of what you owe (short sale), then I will work with your lenders to come to terms with the offer that we've received. My goal is to allow you to sell her home before it goes into foreclosure.

James was awesome. He called me within 30 seconds of inquiring about a property online. We are from out of state and he really went above and beyond he set aside an entire day to show us 14 homes that were spread out in several communities . He had an abundance of knowledge about all the areas we looked in. In the end we had two homes we really liked and we put in an offer on our 1st choice and James negotiated and got us the home we wanted for a fair price. His communication was top notch the entire process and I would and will recommend James to everyone. Thanks again James.

James was excellent in all aspects of the search and purchase processes. He was extremely patient, and communicative during our hunt for a house. Once we found the right house, James was clear and precise in explaining the negotiation and purchase transaction. He provided wise recommendations and assisted us beyond the typical scope for a realtor during this stage.

James did a great job helping me find my new home. Being a first time home buyer, he provide me with good tips on buying the house. He was always checking the type of house that I was looking at through the oneHome Portal app, and always asked if I wanted to see any that I picked. He also had great knowledge about the area of the house where there located, and provided good information. Overall a very good experience with James, and I highly recommend him for buying your next house.

This is my second time partnering with James to buy a home and though we hit a few snags, he remained focused, professional and positive the entire time! I mean, there were even a couple times that conversations were held well after midnight, to try to find us what we were looking for. If thats not dedication, I dont know what is! We love James and are much looking forward to working with him again some years down the line, as the needs of our family may change! Thank you again James!

I have worked with James on two transactions as a buyer within the last 3 years. He is very professional, honest and looks out for your interest. I can expect to be given all the facts when working with him. It is rare to find a real estate agent you can trust to look out for your best interest. He is also patient and good at handling the curveballs that can come up. I highly recommend him to potential buyers in the Tampa Bay area.
