James Grope of CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty

I had a great buying experience and would recommend Jim to anyone, and will use him again if I ever plan on selling. I was a first time home buyer, so of course I was a bit anxious about the whole process. I was also a difficult customer because I had a smaller budget, was looking for the perfect move-in-ready house in a small market, and I had just signed a rental lease so I wasn't looking to buy right away. When I first met with Jim, we sat down and he took the time to understand my situation and exactly what I was looking for. As we were walking through the very first house I decided to look at, he was pointing out all kinds of things that I would have missed. Things like water damage, cracks in brick, etc. After we finished, he said fairly bluntly that the house was overpriced and needed more work than what I was looking for. I knew from that point forward I could trust him. He wasn't just trying to sell a house, he was trying to find me the right house. I never felt pressured or rushed, and after we found the right house, the process was fast and smooth. I am very happy with the whole buying experience!

Great buisness transaction, Jim knows what hes doing in every aspect ,thanks again

Jim went above and beyond for us. Treated my wife and I like normal people and answered any questions we had, whether it was a weekend or not. Awesome customer service!

Jim Grope has been a fantastic agent, very patient, very kind and personable. I did not feel like I was with a "salesman", but a friend. He handled our home shopping and home purchase extremely well and we like him so much. When we are ready to sell the home from which we just moved, we would like Jim to be the agent of record, and handle its sale, as well. This has been an excellent experience for my husband and I - Jim was able to understand what we were looking for quickly, and showed us homes that met our requirements, without wasting time. I will definitely recommend Jim to all friends and family members in need of a realtor!

Jim was always available to take a call, discuss prospective homes, and was always 100% honest and upfront. He was personable and made this process less stressful. Jim made you feel like an old friend which added a lot of comfort and reassurance to a difficult life event. He demonstrated exceptional knowledge and was reliable

Jim Grope sold my home in less then one week with over an average of 33 hits per day and a average of 7 saves. In my eyes, Jim Grope could do no more to sell my home,then the home itself. I would recommend all my friends and family to ask for Jim Grope to sell a home,land ECT. Kind, understanding, professional, straight forward man with integrity...which is hard to come by these days. Thanks again for the help, Bill and Judy Snowden, Of Berlin Center
