James Conn Reviews

As first time home buyers, we were very nervous to start the home buying process. James was warm, friendly and patient; he explained everything we needed to know about the process and put us at ease. He was communicative, always available if we had any questions or concerns, and encouraged us to learn and be as involved as possible. His knowledge and connections were very helpful, and we were able to purchase a home which we thought would have been beyond our reach. Very happy customers!

<p>James made buying our first house (in a rush) an amazing experience. He helped win our bidding war under budget. He even negotiated in terms i never knew to ask about. During our walkthroughs and inspections he was able to explain all the features of the house. He recommended great people for our mortgage, insurance and everything else we needed. He was available for a call any time we had any questions or needed clarity. I’d recommend James with out hesitation.</p>

<p>My wife and I bought our first home in Port Moody this summer with help from James. We were originally a little intimidated by the whole process, and we had some trepidation about finding an agent who'd actually look out for our best interested.</p> <p>But from the moment we reached out to him, James set us at ease. He took the time to get to know our tastes and our preferences, sending us a curated list of properties that matched our description and then taking us to view a variety of places to really dial in what we were looking for. We viewed town-homes, loft-style condos, and units in high rises but eventually learned that we had a strong preference for the feel of a low-rise unit. Throughout the day, I had the sense he was less concerned with closing a deal than making sure we had everything we needed to make a decision that was right for us.</p> <p>When we decided on a place we liked, James helped us make an offer that suited us and then worked doubly hard to make sure we knew the process. And when we ran into difficult situation outside of our control, James helped us get us get all our ducks in a row so that we could secure the place fast. He brought us all the documents we needed, secured an excellent home inspector, drove into Vancouver to pick up a bank draft, and ran us through the entire process in less than 24-hours. Though it took a lot of effort on both ends, the purchase went through successfully--and we really couldn't be happier with James' service.</p> <p>James is an exceedingly friendly, down-to-earth agent. He's professional, but never stiff or overly slick. He's got a sense of humour and is exceedingly candid. And he's not interested in putting pressure on you to buy. I got the feeling if it the process of finding the place took six months--instead of less than a week, as it did--he'd still have been happy to work with us to make sure we found a place we'd love. I'd recommend him especially to buyers who may not be real estate moguls but have a lot of specific requirements for their home.</p>

We have no words to describe the excellent experience we had with James, we were first-time homebuyers with very little/none knowledge on how to find the right place. We met some realtors before James, who offered us expensive locations and totally out of what we were looking for, however, since our first met, we knew immediately that he would be the one to help us. He is honest, friendly, fun and always available to help if we have any questions (and there were many!). We were lucky because we found our place on the first visit, James conducted the negotiation at all stages and we are grateful every day! We have friends who are looking for a house and thinking about selling their current places, and we recommend James with "eyes closed" to them!

James Conn was outstanding to work with. He is organized, efficient, and is a strong communicator. This was my first time buying a home and I found James to be very knowledgeable and patient as he addressed my many questions. I appreciated his approachable yet professional demeanour. I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a realtor. Thank you, James!
