ZillowVERIFIEDJames was our agent for purchasing our first home. As you can imagine, being a first time home buyer meant we did not know about a lot of things. James patiently explained the process to us, kept us updated on the progress from the offer stage until we got our keys. The process was smooth and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, James!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames was my agent for the purchase of my first home, and I wouldn't have gone with anyone else! When I met with James I was so nervous about the whole real estate process I probably looked like a deer caught in headlights. Comparing stories with friends who have used other agents, here's the best things about James:1) He is genuine. Unlike other agents who try to schmooze you, James actually listens to what you want and helps you to find the right home for you. You never feel like you're just a client that your agent is trying to make money off of - James checked in with me all the time to see how the search was going, how I was feeling about the process. Sure, all agents are good talkers because that's what they do, right? But it's the way James is really honest 100% of the time that helps you, ESPECIALLY when it comes time for him to negotiate with other agents.2) He can be as hands on or off as you like. I really was a total novice going into this and having James break it down to help me understand each step was invaluable.3) Not pushy - I've heard of other agents pushing their clients to end up spending more and James never ever did that. He just listened to what I wanted and helped me to get it. He would only suggest I look at different areas or where it might be possible to negotiate.4) James is really patient! Boy, I was texting him like a crazy ex-girlfriend when we found the right place. He probably got really tired of me that month. :) But seriously, he answered all my questions, and dealt with me freaking out quite well, reassuring me when things were all going according to plan and stepping in when had a little trouble getting information back from the seller. 5) A great team - from Walter, the mortgage consultant to all the inspection folks, everyone was super professional and trustworthy. Go with James! You won't regret it. Plus, he won't disappear as soon as the deal is done, he's going to check up and make sure you're happy with your new home!

ZillowVERIFIEDJames is my go-to guy for all my real estate needs and questions in the Bay Area (and most recently even beyond NoCal). Whether I'm looking into stuff for myself, relatives, or friends (which is fairly regularly), he's always willing to take out the time and give me the low-down on what's going on. Even if it's just to bounce questions or to just take the temperature of the real estate market in a particular area, he's always made time for me until I feel like I have a full grasp on the situation.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe first met James at an open house in Mountain View. Like most typical home buyers in their early stages, we were partly evaluating different neighborhoods and partly looking for a good agent to work with. James came across as an extremely analytical and knowledgeable person. He shared some valuable pricing and inventory trends between neighborhoods of our interest based on past years data. To our surprise, he actually pulled up graphs and showed us statistics on his laptop, something we saw a listing agent do for the very first time! That was the moment we thought we have met our perfect agent to help us with our first home buying experience in a challenging bay area real estate market. James himself has no appetite for pushiness, sales pitches ,and pressure tactics. Offering tremendous space, independence, and honest guidance to his clients comes very naturally to him. James was a great real-estate mentor to us, and he always offered honest advice when we presented our thoughts. James has very good technical real estate knowledge about the markets, neighborhoods, and the sales trends. He is able to offer a very data centric view of these trends in a logical and rational fashion, which is an extremely "rare" quality in this profession. We generally wanted to avoid making emotional choices and wanted to attempt at taking a very data-driven approach in this process. With James, our dream was more than fulfilled. We discussed analysis before submitting an offer! His inputs were a big part of our decision making process. There is no other agent like James in this area who would have matched our nuanced expectation. James stayed at the top of his game at all time for us. When he sensed our interest in a property, he would go to great lengths to get us all the necessary unimaginable details which would help us differentiate our offer from the pool. As first time home buyers trying to purchase a property in a competitive market, we felt like everything was very very easy! Behind the scenes, James & his team were working hard to help us close the deal in the smoothest possible way. James's services exceeded all of our expectations, which we had many. We strongly recommend James to anyone who has real estate needs in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino area.
