Buckle up, this is long! My husband and I were looking for a second home in Palm Springs and it took a year to find the right one. I am a licensed real estate agent and was on top of the MLS daily. With inventory being so low and prices rising dramatically, it was not a fun process. Then, in late November 2020, we walked into a home that I had scheduled with the listing agent (James), only seeing it as a "low potential" in my mind. That is where my husband and I met James for the first time, at this listing of his. At the time, James was not aware that I was my own agent, so prior to the showing, he proactively asked me what I was looking for and of...

We’ve had the pleasure of working with James to purchase two homes in the Coachella Valley (one in Palm Springs and one in Palm Desert) and both experiences have been extremely positive. James is an excellent listener and a great, all-around communicator. His knowledge of the desert communities and the traits of the different neighborhoods is extensive. He is creative when it comes to finding houses that fit the brief and is well-networked with other brokers in the area. You spend a lot of time with your realtor when buying a house and James’ fun and easy manner make him a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend James.

As a seasonal property owner, I'm not always in town but James was always there for me during the buying process of my vacation home; he met inspectors when I couldn't and even set up service providers when I didn't know where to turn. My purchase was a lengthy and unfamiliar one due to probate and he kept me informed and educated on the process and his calm demeanor was very helpful in keeping me from getting overly anxious. He has a great attitude, is genuinely friendly and professional, and knows the desert real estate market. I will definitely use him in the future for my real estate needs; I highly recommend him.
