Jim Pilkington Reviews

Jim provided us with absolutely outstanding representation, expertise, and service! He's top notch, without a doubt! A genuinely kind and caring spirit, too. We're grateful to have Jim as our realtor, and absolutely recommend him.

Jim was great to deal with. Very responsive, proactive and knowledgeable. Made the process of buying a home smooth for us. We would gladly work with Jim again.

Jim was extremely professional in helping me to find a good place to live during a very competitive market. He co-ordinated well with selling agents, and focused on meeting our requirements, while giving me the does of reality when required. Knows the North Shore market very well and would highly recommend.

Jim Pilkington is such a patient person and truly understands his business. With many years of experience, he guided us through the process with ease, and I’m so pleased he was the one who found our dream home. He has been my realtor for three years, and he always understood exactly what I was looking for. Passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated, Jim puts his heart into his work — and it shows.

It is absolutely impossible to go wrong with Jim Pilkington as your real estate agent—there is truly no one better. Jim guided us through selling two properties and purchasing the home of our dreams: a home that had to meet the very specific and complex needs of eight family members with very different requirements. Against all odds, he found us a place that we not only love, but one that perfectly supports our busy, social lifestyle. Jim accomplished this while also navigating complicated financial matters and ensuring we met government requirements—no small feat given that we were a newly blended family. Our household included myself, my fiancé, my grown son and his fiancée, my fiancé's teenage daughter, three individuals I care for with intellectual disabilities, two dogs, and a cat. We needed a home with an elevator, a large yard, a quiet yet welcoming neighbourhood, space for everyone, and even extra rooms so we could continue to host community meetings and games nights. Somehow, Jim made it happen. He sold our two homes for absolute top dollar, fielded our endless questions with patience, sourced the right professionals at the right time, and solved problems we couldn’t have imagined solutions for. And through it all, he made us feel like a priority—despite being one of the most in-demand realtors in the community. His deep knowledge of the market, his extensive connections, and his unparalleled expertise were invaluable to us at every turn. Jim’s inclusive attitude was refreshing, his calm nature steadying, and his guidance unwavering even in the most stressful of moments. We quickly learned we could depend on him completely, because time and again he proved that we were in safe, capable, and incredibly smart hands. From introduction to closing—and long after—Jim has been trustworthy, open-minded, and extraordinarily resourceful. He is a gifted communicator, an exemplary negotiator, and a master problem-solver whose creative solutions, tireless work ethic, and meticulous attention to detail are second to none. For us, Jim has become far more than a realtor—he is our go-to person for all real estate needs, and someone we trust implicitly. We cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone buying or selling property.

Over the course of the sale of one property and purchase of another, Jim provided solid and consistent advice and guidance throughout both processes. His knowledge of the local real estate market was deep and thorough, and his ability to quickly resolve the few issues that cropped up was appreciated. Jim has a calm and professional manner that was absolutely perfect for our needs. If you are looking for an agent who will provide high quality service, with integrity, Jim will meet and exceed those expectations.
