Testimonials

In June 2003, you made a fantastic group effort to sell our home in Raleigh in what seemed like record time so that Sean and I could move to Pittsburgh, PA where Sean's work took us. Loving Raleigh, the relocation was traumatic as was the reality of selling our home. However, the actual process of selling the house was painless because everything (and we mean everything) occurred exactly as Jim and Lisa predicted. From the initial list price to how much foot traffic the house had to the final sale price, Jim and Lisa were precisely correct on each account. Emily guided us easily through the closing and even found not one, but two mistakes made by the closing attorney and, because of her effort, were spared what could have been quite a bit of a hassle. Instead it was a pleasant five minute wait while the attorney made the corrections!

Furthermore, even though we were selling a small home, we were treated like we were selling a million dollar home. We felt as if we were your only client. Your attentiveness, sincerity, professionalism and knowledge of the industry make your team light-years ahead of the competition!

Furthermore, the Jim Allen Group did not end involvement with the sale of our home in Raleigh, but rather assisted with finding a competent realtor in Pittsburgh as well as acquiring relocation guides to Pittsburgh for us. Your care for your customers exceeds expectations and surpasses all geographical boundaries.

But our relationship with you does not yet end. Having the opportunity to relocate anywhere in the country, we have chosen to return to Raleigh not just because we love it so very much (there are many areas in which could be wonderful to live), but also because we feel that The Jim Allen Group will make our return nearly effortless. Already Rick has made us feel like million dollar customers despite knowing that we will again purchase a significantly lower-priced home. It is comforting and empowering to know that you are assisting us with finding a strong realtor here in Cleveland and that you are essentially catering to our needs.

Congratulations on continuing to be Prudential's #1 Agent, you are amazing. I really appreciate the effort, talent, and dedication you bring to our company and especially our office." - Joyce Holland, Broker in Charge, Six Forks Office.

I just wanted to take a moment and personally thank you and your team for the fabulous job that you did for my family and I during our relocation period. Your aggressive effort coupled with the extraordinary service provided by your team truly made a difference.

We are writing this letter to inform you of our satisfaction with using Jim Allen to help us locate a home in the area. Jim and his assistant Cathy, made our relocation to North Carolina enjoyable, and relieved a lot of stress that accompanies trying to find a suitable home in a short period of time.

Jim's knowledge of the local real estate market, coupled with his comprehensive understanding of Nortel's relocation program, made our search for a home both efficient and productive. With Jim's help, we actually found a home that we love in just two days!!

Jim and Cathy were always available to answer questions and help us with the little glitches that always arise when buying a home. You have two hard working, first-class Realtors there, and I just wanted to take the time to let you know what a positive experience it has been working with him. You can bet that Jim will be the first person I look up when it's time to go through this process again.

Jim is just fun to be around. Knowledgeable, professional, patient, and personable, qualities that clients value but regretfully find in short supply in real estate as well as many other businesses.

Thanks again for making this process such a pleasurable one. Your company has exceeded our highest expectations.

We interviewed three realtors upon learning of our transfer to Phoenix, and Jim clearly was heads and shoulders above the rest. He answered our questions clearly and concisely, without undue fluff or self-serving comments. It was an easy decision to choose Jim to list our house.

Jim recommended we list our home at a price higher than we anticipated. We were somewhat hesitant but went with his recommendation. Our house sold in three days at a price very close to Jim's recommendations.

Jim and his staff have continued to give stellar performance. We might be considered a bit more difficult to deal with than usual, as my husband is already working in Phoenix and I am still here in Cary.

I trust Jim implicitly and have already recommended him to two acquaintances who are considering listing their houses for sale in the near future. I can't give any higher recommendation than that.

My home sold in about 6 weeks, but it was not easy, especially for Jim. The buyer countered far below the listing price and when you are in another state it makes it difficult to negotiate, therefore I had to put my faith and trust in Jim. I was amazed, Jim had negotiated a sales price far above what I thought was possible and the buyer agreed.

Jim's professional experience and market knowledge for listing, negotiating the sale, and completing the sale makes this a success!
