Testimonials

"I was so surprised that Jim was so down to earth and such a cool guy! It made it much easier to ask questions and ask for help. It was obvious that he was trying to help as much as possible, so I wasn't worried about whether he was leading the buying or selling process in directions that were more to his advantage than to mine. He was always very honest, and he gave me his opinion on condo details without being too pushy. Since I'm only 25 and I don't know anything about real estate, he could have easily been more bossy and made the experience stressful and intimidating, but instead he walked me through everything and was very patient. I really appreciated his help with renting out my condo even though he doesn't usually do rentals. Also, when I moved to New Jersey, he was there to take care of the things that I couldn't do, which was great. Basically he did a ton of extra little stuff that he didn't have to do, from offering to let repairmen into the condo to helping me out last minute when I accidentally scheduled furniture removal for a day after the closing, which would have been very, very bad. Oh and also, for the celebration after the condo was sold, he showed me a really cool brewery! I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know who needs a real estate agent. Dreamtown is pretty cool."

"Overall experience was good. James was very easy to work with and knowledgeable about the entire process. He assisted us in making a reasonable offer and closing the deal. Sometimes we felt that he wasn't necessarily following our guidance on the properties we were suggesting and just sticking to the MLS survey. That is common though from what we have found. Thanks again for your help! "

"I worked with Jim Barclay in buying my first condo in Roscoe Village. Jim was always available and took the extra time to explain every step along the way. I always felt like I had someone in my corner and he made the process manageable with my hectic schedule. I would recommend anyone looking to buy in Chicago to give Jim a call. Thanks Jim! Nate Adams, Roscoe Village"

"This is the second time that James has been my agent; previously for a purchase, and this time for a purchase and a sale. As before, the experience was great. James provided good advice, was very responsive to our questions, and worked well with my busy work schedule. We successfully sold our condo and purchased a house we are very happy with; I would definitely recommend James to others and use him again in the future."

"Given the complete plethora of agents you can choose from in Chicago I ended up trusting Yelp's reviews and going with Jim, and boy was everyone else spot on with their recommendations. Jim is genuinely honest and forthcoming at all times. Better yet, he listens to what you are looking for, looks for relevant listings, and lets you make decisions for yourself. I was surprised that we walked into several units and he pointed out multiple negative things that I wasn't even thinking about. It never felt like he was trying to force anything on me while we looked at units. He was always constructive in pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of a unit and could tell that he really does care that the unit you buy will be perfect for you. I also purchased a short-sale that took several months to close on due to issues negotiating with the bank. At one point my attorney wasn't able to get a response out of the agent at the bank for several weeks and was worried the deal wouldn't happen. On Jim's own initiative, he called the bank, managed to get a hold of the agent, and conferenced my attorney in to resolve the issue at hand to keep everything moving. You really can't go wrong with Jim. If you haven't decided on a realtor yet, do yourself a favor and call him. Rob Ritchie, Ravenswood"
