What our client says
“Jim made the selling process smooth and straightforward. There were zero issues. Whenever anything came up, such as a miscommunication with someone regarding staging or addressing something on the property, Jim immediately reached out to fix the issue. He is prompt, communicative, detail-oriented, open, transparent, and easy-going. I trusted him with our sale and would not hesitate to trust him again with a purchase or another sale. He gives each and every property 100 percent of his attention”

“We met with Jim after rejecting a cash offer for our condominium. We thought the price offered was weigh too low, and wanted to have our property marketed more agressively. We were very impressed by his marketing strategies, and were ready to sign with him. Before doing so, he showed us some comparable properties along with their asking and selling prices. It didn't take long for us to realize we should have accepted the cash offer. In light of our situation, he encouraged us to go back to our previous real estate agent, to ask if the cash buyers were still around, and to come back to him if they had already moved on. Today we are looking at closing on our condominium, and realize it's largely thanks to Jim. We would recommend his services to anyone looking to hire a real estate agent. Jim, THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!”

“Jim is amazing. Found a buyer for us before the house was even listed. Time from meeting with Jim to sale of our house and purchase of a condo (Jim handled both) was just over six weeks. Our friends were amazed. JIm's follow through and responsiveness were superb. Even though Jim found a buyer before we had to stage the house for sale, early on in the process he brought in a stager for whom he paid. Jim handles a lot of very expensive properties but was happy to help sell our more modestly priced house.”

“Jim DeRentis has always done a great job for us. He listed and sold our house very quickly and was able to sell them for more than we expected to receive. I would recommend Jim and his team to anyone that is interested in having a good experience with selling or buy real estate.”

“Jim was knowledgeable about the area we wanted to live in. He was honest with us about the reality of our budget and what we were looking for in a home. He was patient with us as we were looking and continued to provide us with hope and energy when we started feeling discouraged. When we finally did find the home that was just right for us- he gave us great advice about our offer and helped us move through the process quickly. Jim provided us with contacts for each step of the discouraged. We never felt pressured into buying a home that was not mortgage and closing process but did not pressure us to use these contacts if we found other options. Overall Jim was an incredible resource to us and we are so thankful for his support during out first home buying process!”
