“James is deeply knowledgeable about real estate transactions, architecture, landscaping, communities, and commutes. He helped us find and close on a terrific home during an intense sellers' market; his stamina in the search was nothing short of a marvel. He understood our budget and was able to show us a number of possibilities that met the house parameters we set. As exhausting as a home search can be, I left all our viewings and the ultimate real estate transaction a more confident, optimistic, and better informed home buyer than before. He's the best agent one could hope for. ”

“I thought James McCarthy did a great job - he was very patient, as I took a very long time to commit to finally buying a home (years - I first contacted him in 2017, and only purchased in 2020) - He easily could have given up on me as a client, but he stayed with me, and when I was finally financially ready, showed me a dozen properties in middle of pandemic. He was very professional throughout, and got me a great deal at the end, and also gave me great advice as a first time home buyer.”

First Time Homebuyer

“Mr. McCarthy was very patient with me - I was first introduced to him through a friend, and it took years for me to finally decide to buy a home, but when I did, he went all out with nearly 10 showings in one day. He did everything he could to get me the best offer. He took a lot of time out, was detail oriented, and provided great insights into the home buying process for me as a first time buyer. ”

“He responded to our inquiries about selling the home quickly. The staging of the home was masterful. Many friends commented on this. He was always prompt when we called about questions during the showings (first time we ever sold a home). The listing was prompt and we had lots of folks look at the house over the first week it was listed. The open house was very successful. There were six offers and it was sold well above the list price. We were very pleased with James' professionalism. He is just a really kind and friendy guy.”

Helped me buy home

“James is an incredible guide to the homebuying process. We were first-time homebuyers and James was the best real estate agent we could've asked for. He really helped us think about our budget and think outside the box in what homes we considered (starter homes, fixer-uppers, duplexes, condos, etc). James guided us through the entire process, and ultimately helped us feel confident in settling on an excellent first home. His knowledge of the area and the market is extensive and his architect's eye was indispensable in selecting a home for its potential. We had a nightmare of a seller to deal with, and James was a fearless and masterful negotiator. He was also very fun, personable, honest, loyal, and didn't pressure us to buy. He genuinely cared about our needs and was always very prompt at responding to our communications and our almost endless strings of questions. His office also has great resources and connections to reputable and affordable lenders, title agents, etc. I highly recommend James as a real estate agent. He is a credit to his profession.”

“James took our listing knowing we had a 60 day timeline to receive an offer and immediately went to work. He was responsive to our questions and suggestions and was able to secure 2 offers on our house within the 60 day timeline. Even after we accepted an offer, James stayed attentive and available to assist and negotiate through contingencies. James fought and stuck up for our best interests. James stayed with us every step until the last paperwork was signed and was willing to think outside the box to over come challenges. We really appreciated James' hard work and persistence to close our sale.”

“James was the best realtor I could have asked for. James is an architect by trade, and can immediately see the potential of a house as soon as he walks in. Conversely, and just as importantly, he can also spot any potential problems just as quickly.It took me 6+ months, 100+ showings, and 8 offers before I found my house, and James never once made me feel rushed or like I was wasting his time. Instead, he level-headedly talked me through each tough decision, making dozens of detailed CMAs for me along the way. I looked forward to going to showings with James, and miss learning so much about house construction, architecture, neighborhoods, and negotiating strategies! But with James' help, I am now living in the perfect house for me, purchased for a steal. I guess that's a good thing to trade for the showings.”
