Testimonials

"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"

"Jim was recommended to us by a friend and we could not have been happier with his services. Not only was he an excellent realtor but also he was receptive to even the smallest of feedback on a specific place. We had been searching for a house for months with a different realtor and were unhappy and stressed with the home buying process. Once we switched to working with Jim, we were quickly relieved. He worked hard to find our perfect fit for our first home. We found a new place within 3 weeks and couldn't be happier. Jim was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. If/When we decide to move in the future, our first choice realtor would definitely be Jim Barclay."

"I bought my first home (condo) with Jim as my realtor. He was very kind and patient with me while I was freaking out about this huge decision. He seems more concerned with his clients needs and happiness than with just getting someone into any old house and making money. Oh, and he plays drums and invites you to his shows. He's a great drummer too! 5 stars from me! Dina D., North Center"

"When no one was buying condos in Chicago, Jim found us a buyer willing to pay what we needed to make. It was a needle in a haystack and nothing short of a miracle. He also handled my stress and harassment (don't think I went easy on him when we had no offers!) and he did it with complete patience and understanding. I have to also say that he isn't a typical realtor. He has a knack for matching buyers to the right property, we said we wanted a single family but didn't have a huge budget and we liked the city. He thought out of the box and introduced us to neighborhoods we never considered before. If it weren't for him, there's no way we would have ended up in the house we adore in a neighborhood that is perfect for us and for a price that can't be beat. Jessie H., Rogers Park"
