I have sold many homes over the years. Jim Is one of the best in regards to knowledge, patience and negotiation skills. He has helped me sell homes in Pennsylvania and also helped me with several investment properties in Florida! I highly recommend him!
We met Jim through another agent in another part of the state who had shared with us that Jim was one of the best in the business and the "leading agent in the area". After my wife and I had the opportunity to meet Jim and work with him, those comments were grossly understated! We felt an immediate connection to Jim because he took the time to truly understand our situation, our needs, our preferences, the reasons we were looking to make a move, etc. His knowledge of the market was unlike anything we have ever seen before, which proved incredibly beneficial as we finally found what we were looking for. One of the things that impressed us the most was that he wasn't afraid to share his true thoughts/feelings and tell us what we needed to hear......which not only was greatly appreciated, but ultimately helped us make the right decisions. Jim was very responsive to us whenever we had a question or needed some guidance on something, and about as professional of person as there is! One final thing that truly was the "icing on the cake": Well after we were living in our home, Jim came back to us and helped us immensely in dealing with a sticky situation in ways that I don't think anyone would have expected! We were absolutely blown away......it was important to him that we were happy and well-taken care of. A true professional and gentleman that we would highly recommend to anyone!
I highly recommend Jim for his expertise and effective marketing and negotiations. He helped us sell our home at the highest price in a quick and easy transaction. Then helped us find our dream home. Our home had been listed by another Realtor for several months, Once we hired Jim it was sold!
Jim helped us sell our house in Ephrata after it neglected to sell for over a year. He was given a challenge, since houses that sit on the market for that long have tenancies to draw bad opinions on them. Our house sold in the first month he had it listed on the marked. If you do your research Jim is one of the top selling agents in PA. There is a reason for it. He was very attentive and stayed on top of the other agents who showed the house to get you useful feedback. He didn't wait for the show time app to post the feedback, he called you. I wish I would of started with Jim but hopefully if you read this you will take my advise and won't make my same mistakes. Thanks Jim!
If the measurement of your Listing Agent is the end result, then Jim Pappas won the game. Once we signed the Seller's contract with Jim Pappas, our house was listed on the market within a week. Within the first three listing days, we had eleven home showings and received six offers on the house. On the fourth listing day, we accepted an offer that was substantially above the listing price of the house. Not only was the listing price a great offer, but also, he negotiated to see that there was minimal waiting time between when we accepted the offer and when we officially sold the house on the actual settlement date. From the beginning, in interviewing and assessing other realtors in the local Lancaster County real estate market, Jim Pappas by far had the superior credentials. He had a proven sales record of performance as indicated in Jim receiving multiple awards for multiple years as the #1 top performing Realtor. He has excelled in sales even beyond his local area as demonstrated by his receipt of an award at the regional level when competing with other realtors, which represented a 19 state geographical area. In addition to his exceptional sales skills, he possesses a strong background of experience and expertise in negotiations. His strong negotiating skills were extremely important when he became engaged in negotiating the best offer for our house. His past experience and background from owning his own travel agency and negotiating deals with airlines and hotel chains across the globe equips him with an exceptional skill set that other realtors simple lack. Another outstanding quality of Jim's, involves his strong strategic marketing and overall marketing skills. He truly knows how to make your house stand out from all of the other houses on the market. His ads stand out and pop out from the others by the color photography and exceptional quality of the pictures and videos that he markets in every marketing venue that exists from websites to printed media. Also, we have to comment on his personalized service style. When you call his sales office and ask to meet or speak with Jim Pappas, you will get him and not be handed over to another agent on his team unless that is what you requested. He has great communication skills. He always responds in a courteous, prompt, and professional manner. Last of all, it is easy to tell that he is driven by his passion for his work that leads almost naturally to a quality outcome for his clients. Obviously, we believe that he is among the best realtors and leaders in the real estate industry and highly endorse him as the realtor to choose.
I highly recommend Jim Pappas!! He is dedicated and truly passionate about selling real estate. He serves his clients in every way by returning phone calls immediately and giving feedback on showings of your property. During the 14 days our house was listed with on the MLS with Jim, we had 7 showings and a contract with an offer for full price. He also networks with realtors in and outside of his office. We are very pleased with his professionalism and the results.
Jim sold my house in 2010 when the market was bad without a problem. I would recommend him to anyone selling or buying a home. He is without a doubt the best real estate agent I have had the experience of working with. 5 stars hands down. I will definitely return to Jim in the future for my real estate needs
Definitely the best Realtor I have ever used. He helped sell my house . Delivered everything as promised from marketing to negotiation skills and settlement. Made a painful process easy. I would recommend him highly
Jim was very patient in helping me find my dream home. He always gave me the pros and cons of each property. He also sold my house very quickly. I highly recommend!
