Very good
Recommended without reservation
A well-reviewed broker-owner best suited to lake home, cabin, hunting land or commercial buyers and sellers who want a hands-on, full-time local specialist.
Pros
- ✓Confirmed 5.0-star rating across 42 client ratings on his CENTURY 21 profile — the strongest verified review evidence among the agents profiled here
- ✓Reviews specifically praise responsiveness, honesty and communication (clients describe him as communicating "extremely well and quickly")
- ✓Broker/owner of his own brokerage since 2019 per his state license record, with Quality Service Producer and Multi-Million Dollar Producer awards listed on his brokerage bio
- ✓Commercial Specialist designation in addition to his residential and recreational-property focus
- ✓Client testimonials cite successfully selling at least one property "other realtors had declined"
Cons
- ✗Co-runs the brokerage with his wife Michelle, so some clients may end up working with either of them rather than James individually
- ✗Current public listings ($53K-$927K) span a very wide price band, which cuts against a narrow luxury or entry-level specialization
- ✗No formal designations beyond Commercial Specialist are listed on his public profiles (e.g., no ABR/CRS/GRI), despite his tenure
