ReviewJames Sommers has been our trusted Realtor through several home purchases and sales over the years, and most recently, he helped us find and purchase our dream homeaEUR"a beautiful 1920s home full of history and character. James brings so much more to the table than simply knowing the real estate market. His knowledge of homes, construction, neighborhoods, and the Southwest Florida area is incredibly valuable, especially when purchasing an older home where knowing what to look for really matters. Throughout the entire process, James was an excellent communicator, always flexible and available, and incredibly easy to work with. He also has a great network of trusted local resources, which made everything from inspections to closing that much easier. What we appreciate most about James is that we have always felt he genuinely has our best interests in mind. He gives straightforward advice, never pressures us, and approaches every decision as though he were helping a friend or family member. After working with James through multiple real estate transactions, there is no one else we would rather have representing us. We are so grateful he helped us find the home where our family will begin its next chapter. We highly recommend James to anyone buying or selling in Southwest Florida!

ReviewIt was a pleasure working with James. He was appointed special magistrate to conduct the sale of our condo and we could not have picked a better person for the job. He was professional and courteous and his knowledge and expertise were instrumental in the quick sale of the property. He kept us informed every step of the way and made the entire process stress free and seamless. I highly recommend James for any and all of your real estate needs!

ReviewIf I could give James more stars than 5 I would. He helped us buy our first Florida home 8 years so when we were looking to buy again, we reached out to James again. He really knows the area and the market. He was able to negotiate our land purchase down to 82% of asking.

ReviewWe sold our condo in a tough market thanks to the efforts of James (Jim). His knowledge of the Cape Coral FL Real Estate market, the marketing of our property and the constant communication throughout the sale was top notch. We highly recommend James!

ReviewJames was great. As an out of state trustee, it means a lot. James helped me navigate the FL market, as well as organize getting local contractors to handle the nuisance repairs that come with territory. Honestly? I don't know I would have been able to do it without him. If you want to sell a house in Ft Myers from outside the state, I don't think you could do better.

ReviewJames is an excellent realtor for the following reasons: 1. Very patient 2. Excellent sense of humor to help a stressful situation feel less stressful. 3. Excellent knowledge of the market. 4.Prompt with weekly stats, deal updates, counter-offers. 5. He has an excellent network of vendors to help ready a vacant property for listing and showing. 6. Detail-oriented. Nothing caught him by surprise. I wish I had other rentals to sell so I could work with him again.

ReviewJames is by far the best realtor Ive ever worked with. His knowledge goes beyond those who put together the house themselves and he knows everything about the surroundings. He made this process even easier than I could imagine. Id give him 10 stars if it were an option . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

ReviewJames kept us well informed. He took care of things in unit it while it was empty, as I lived far away. The closing was effortless for me. The market was not very good when we listed the unit, so was very happy to get it sold. James was a pleasure to work with.

ReviewJames is a real estate master! We had a full price offer after only a few weeks! He hustled to market the property keying in on home features that other realtors missed entirely. We also closed in only a few weeks!

ReviewJames is truly an outstanding realtor. He is extremely knowledgeable and concurrent on the surrounding Cape Coral / Fort Myers housing market. Most importantly though, he is fair, trustworthy and very easy to work with. He is continuously on top of what is happening regarding a particular sale/purchase opportunity and stays in regular touch with his client to keep them equally informed. He has good contacts with local reputable and reasonably priced vendors should they be needed to assist in making a sale happen. I highly recommend James and would gladly use him again.

ReviewJames was such a pleasure to work alongside! He knows his product- the area, history, landscape and most importantly- the homes! His sense of humor made the process a bit less daunting, while his attention to detail allowed us to simply focus on selecting the house that best fit our idea of a Florida dream home. James puts forth the hard work both during and after the sale. He told us, he is "our resource for life!" We will be referring James at every opportunity.

James took my home and had a contract signed for full asking price in under 2 weeks, when other realtors told me it would be a challenge to sell without having an open house. I recommend James to anyone who needs their home sold quickly.

ReviewI sent an email to a handful of realtor's explaining what I had and what I could and couldn't do when it came to showing our house. ( No staging and no open houses ). I told them if they didn't like what I was saying then don't bother getting back to me. A few sent me emails saying that it was going to be a challenge to sell with my conditions, but James called me right away and understood my concerns and was great right from the start. We had tons of online activity from the moment it was posted online, and we had a contract signed on the 11th day for full asking price. James kept me informed of everything along the way and covered every little detail for me. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to sell or buy. Thanks James.

ReviewMy wife and I first met James ... probably 2018 ... when we first thought that Cape Coral was in our future. We taught us about the area (the deeper detail than just the enjoyment we were experiencing) and we started looking at properties ... but we didn't pull the trigger on anything. We continued to kick tires, including through the Pandemic ... never once did James ask if we were going to get serious. We'd been monitoring 3 daily MLS feeds (set up by James) based on various criteria options we thought might work for us. We found a spot ... he was there while we bid and went under Contract ... but we walked away because of the money needed to fix things up on top of our bid price. Again, he didn't flinch or suggest we wasted his time. Soon after ... we found our target home, bid ... and just Closed ... and I wrote this review from our new Cape Coral home. James was a fantastic resource, asset, and partner throughout our process, better than any Realtor I've ever worked with.

He dealt with us, total strangers from out of state, with professionalism and courtesy at all times. He is very well versed in market conditions and kept us appraised at all times.

ReviewWe met James 5 years ago when he helped us buy a condo. That experience was excellent so of course we went back to him when we decided to sell the property recently. As before, James was knowledgeable, energetic, conscientious, patient and a joy to work with. We would certainly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a property.

ReviewJames was so knowledgeable about all things Cape Coral. We had a blast driving around with him and learning all about the area. He easily answered any questions we threw at him and if he didnt know he found out for us. James even gave us a driving tour of Cape Coral proper, recommended restaurants, tiki bars, and where to get the best seafood in the area. His knowledge of the history is great too because it really gives you an idea of how the area has been and is being developed. Highly recommend.

ReviewJames was amazing! One of the best realtors Ive ever worked with. His responsiveness was truly amazing, always answering my calls with courtesy and professionalism. An added bonus of working with James is he hired a professional photographer to takes pictures of our listing at no additional charge. He was knowledgeable and was able to answer questions I had. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone I meet as it was one of the best experiences selling a home Ive ever had!

ReviewJames was super helpful and responsive to our needs as we were not local. Assisted with financing, insurance and repairs that would be needed following the sale. Would certainly recommend James! He was kind enough to take in pacakges that were delivered for us - after the sale - and before we could get down to the property! He met with other Sub-contractors that we were going to use for some improvements when we could not!

ReviewJames is a hard working advocate for his clients. He has a great sense of humor, with a Level headed, calm & professional demeanor. He is passionate about his industry and maintains the contacts that facilitated the rapid closing of our property. He and his team are very process orientated, they check and double check the entire process, step by step. He is highly recommended and will continue to handle my transactions throughout the state of Florida.

ReviewWe cannot say enough good things about James. He made the home selling process extremely smooth and easy. We were out of state trying to sell our father's home which was extremely daunting. With James guidance and connections we were able to have our father's home in selling condition, listed, sold and closed in less than 5 weeks. I don't know where we would be in the process if it wasn't for James. We are extremely grateful for his hard work and making what was an overwhelming process very manageable.

ReviewI had been holding onto two side by side lots to sell for a few years now. I often get cards in the mail from realtors looking to sell it for me. I don't usually pay much attention to these mailings, however for some reason when I recieved one from James, I decided to call. First off, he answered the phone right away. I had tried calling one other company, and I played phone tag for a few days. I decided I did not want to use a company that I could not reach without days of back and forth. So right off the bat James impressed me.I talked with him for about 15 minutes. He looked up what lots such as mine had been selling for, and we came up with a tentative asking price. James is very peronable and knowledgeable, and I felt comfortable having him sell my properties. He sent me a contract via email, which I was able to sign electronically, which was great because the lots were some distance from both him and me. Let me say, he did not dissapoint, and I am so happy I chose him as my realtor. He listed in right away and he sent me the link for my lsiting and kept me apprised of views on various sites online. He contacted me with offers, and he helped me decide how I wanted to proceed. He checked in with me every Monday by phone. If I emailed him with a question, he generally called me right away with the answer. I really felt like he cared and he took good care of me. When a good serious offer came in, we talked it out and made a counter offer, and it was accepted.The closing was for 30 days and it was perfectly. He kept me in the loop and continued to check in with me each week during the process, just to let me know he hadn't forgotten me. I cannot say enough positive things about James, and I would not hesitate for an instant to use him again, and I highly reccomend you choose him for your selling/buying needs.

ReviewJames listed and sold my Cape Coral lot. It went quicker and smoother than expected since I am not currently living in Florida. From our initial conversations James provided all the information I needed to feel confident in selling my property through him. The closing was seamless since the numbers came out exactly as he had predicted from the beginning.

ReviewI have actually bought and sold a waterfront condo and bought and sold a duplex through James, since I bought my original house in 2010, which I still own. A few months ago, I began to think about buying and moving to a riverfront condo, so James set me up with a portal so that I see every new listing that fits my filter as soon as it hits the market. I check it everyday and we have looked at a few, but not sure I'm quite condo guy yet. James is "intuitively" aware of the market and his customers wants and with the recent listing and sale of my duplex, he was prepared at every turn to facilitate the solution. So when I'm ready to buy something else, James will be my agent. Year of service listed below is actually 2010 - 2022!

He kept us well informed along the way and was always available to take our call. Selling a home can be stressful so hiring the right agent can make all the difference. In my opinion the sale of our home could not have gone any smoother. I would highly recommend James to friends and family :))

ReviewWith the unfortunate passing of my father-in-law we were left trying to handle closing out his estate in Florida from where we live in MD. Father's house was a mess and we had all but given up on the idea of being able to sell it and were going to surrender it to the bank. Enter James. My lawyer named him as a recommendation for a realtor with experience, a record for success, and a tenacious focus on the success and happiness of us as the sellers. To say he has been a blessing and a life saver is an understatement. He took our needs to heart with the sale of the property and had us under contract within 48 hours of it being listed. He's a great communicator, is extremely responsive and takes the initiative to follow up with all parties (including the title company, our lawyer, and the other beneficiary). He made this process absolutely painless (I've bought and sold several homes, so I know what pain is) and we are forever grateful to him for keeping us from leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table and getting us to close barely 30 days from hiring him (90% of which is just waiting on the titling!). Thank you, James and team!!
