James did an excellent job. He helped us sell our house in less than a week and got us several offers. Overall, we were happy with our selling and closing experience.

James was incredibly helpful in our search and purchase of our first home. Patience with our barrage of questions, knowledgeable in answering those questions, etc. Definitely 5 stars across the board.
Sharyn Brunk, Executrix on behalf of the estate for Florence Mesko
I highly recommend Jim Ernst. He was always accessible to answer questions. He explained issues very well. I was not even local--and he simply handled everything. This, BTW, was a sale for a home of the deceased.
Kiara Barbosa, Reading
