"I was very impressed with James’s negotiating ability. I’m confident he negotiated a very good price for our house in New Jersey. I think the best thing about James is that he is genuinely cared about our well being. His market knowledge was very good but how he acted was actually more impressive. I am highly recommend him."

"James is simply the BEST! My first realtor from NY, who I consider to be one of the best agent in NYC, recommended James to me when I told her I was interested in getting a house in Fort Lee, NJ. James was on top of his game throughout my purchasing process.." - Lingyi
