"We had an excellent experience dealing with James when we sold our home. James and his family-owned company are such a refreshing change from the super-corporation type offices that have become so commonplace that we sometimes forget what it's like to have someone actually give true personalized service. I have nothing but great things to say about James and Ward Realty and will HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who asks! "
Response: "Well said! " This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.
