Jim, a buyer from White Bear Lake, MN
Your knowledge and availability made all the difference. Shannon and I really are appreciative.

Lisa, a seller from Vadnais Heights, MN
I had started my experience as a for sale by owner. When it became too time consuming I interviewed several realtors. I chose James because of his market knowledge, pricing structure to list the home, and general appeal as a person. What I received was great communication, timely support, a quick sale at a great price point. I would hire him again and recommend him strongly. He was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Real Estate is best completed with someone with experience - James is the man for the job! He has a great sense of the current market and volatility as well as using his experience of the best way to market a property with minimal costs. This helps him turn properties quickly and gain maximum profitability for the seller.

He is good at following up and making sure everything that needs to be done gets done in a timely manner. I appreciated James getting back to me quickly when I had questions or concerns. He was right on in his analysis of when to sell my home and the things that I needed to do to get my home ready for showings. And he is friendly with a great sense of humor. I would recommend James to anyone looking for a successful positive experience selling their home or property.

I enjoyed working with James in all ways involved with a seller/buyer circumstance. I greatly appreciate his low commission rate as the market shifted, impacting the original selling prices of my home.

James went above and beyond the call of duty in selling both our house and our wooded lot in Mahtomedi. He worked with her surveyor he worked with the buyers agent & the Title co. couldnt have asked for more help or a better job.

John R, a seller from Hugo, MN
I highly recommend James Sanchez and White Bear Lake Reality.

James is the consummate professional whose 30 years of experience show in the outstanding experience he provided in the recent sale of our home.

When I reached out to James for help with the sale, he responded and moved the process along quickly and in an organized fashion getting the property on the market within a week.

James industry knowledge, contacts, marketing expertise and negotiation skills resulted in fast, full price offer with a qualified buyer.

I found James a pleasure to work with. He provided frequent and clear updates, was always quick to return phone calls and provided outstanding advice during the process.

I will use James again in any future real estate transaction and can recommend him unreservedly.


JCR, a seller from Hugo, MN
Great market knowledge, exceptional service/professionalism, and provided great advice along the way in selling process.

Anne, a seller from Oakdale, MN
I was referred to James by a friend. I was hesitant as he is not part of a Big Chain company. So glad I went with James and White Bear Lake Realty! He was clear about the process and answered my many questions. When the first offer was received at 48 hours after listing, James handled the offer, discussion, and negotiations like a pro. Closing went smoothly and I'm a happy Seller. Thank you James!

Darlene, a seller from Fridley, MN
Jimmy Sanchez has drawing power coupled with skill to match. He was my number one choice for selling my home. He moved quickly to get professional photos, measure property, and get it on the market by the first weekend. I received up to the minute messages informing me of showings. I refer Jimmy to anyone looking to sell!


Laura, a seller from New Brighton, MN
I recently had the experience of having to sell my elderly dads home as he could no longer live on his own. If you've ever done this, you know that the process can be long and tough as it's emotional to clean out a home with childhood memories attached. James helped immensely with recommending what needed fixing/updating and even helped me hire the handy man to do the work. Additionally, he helped us gut the garage out as it had accumulated lots of junk and items. He put me in touch with someone that could clean the house as well once it was emptied. These things are above and beyond the scope of what a realtor is meant to handle and I am forever grateful for his hard work and dedication to help with the sale of the house.

Ben, a seller from White Bear Lake, MN
James was pleasant to work with. He always responded right away and always got us the answers we needed. I highly recommend having him as your agent

Anonymous, a seller from Mahtomedi, MN
I want to start off by saying Jamie Sanchez did a 5 star quality performance selling my home. He thoroughly explained the whole process to me from beginning to the closing. Jamie marketed my home on all the social media platforms mls, Zillow, realtors.com, Facebook and many more. Jamie also used a top-tier photographer to take professional pictures of my house. Also a virtual tour and 3-D visual. My home had several likes and showings immediately. I will definitely use Jamie Sanchez in selling or buying a house. He has the best performance for only 3.7% , which is half the going rate. Other realtors with half the experience will charge you double and ignore you. Jamie Sanchez sold my house within a month and the whole process was smooth and he brought me top dollar for my home.

Anonymous, a seller from Mahtomedi, MN
My wife and I were pleased with the job that the realtor James Sanchez and his assistant Jocelyn did for us. he was extremely knowledgeable answered all of our questions and did a great job we wouldnt consider going with someone else James is the man. thank you James for doing a great job.in James absence his assistant Jocelyn was fully capable able and willing to help us with all of our questions. Thank you so much Jocelyn. What a team we couldnt have asked for better.

Laurel, a seller from North Branch, MN
Communication was impressive considering the sale of property was among multiple sellers. WBR has an awesome media way of keeping EVERYONE simultaneously notified of showings, reactions to showings, and various other notifications to EVERYTHING involved with the sell of the property. James Sanchez, our agent w/WBR, DID A SUPURB JOB REPRESENTING US IN EVERY RESPECT.

Don, a seller from St. Paul, MN
James is knowledgeable, professional. He truly has a passion for realestate.
He was fun to work with.

Jerry, a seller from Minnetonka, MN
James was recommended by a friend of mine. I am grateful for that wonderful recommendation. When my sister had to go into hospice, it was my responsibility to sell her house. James worked quickly and closely with my wife and I and sold the house at a price well-above what we considered fair. James always kept us in the loop and quickly returned our calls so we knew exactly what was going on. He's an honest, down-to-earth, personable agent that you can trust to do the best job for you, a true professional. Highly recommend!

Doc, a buyer from Mahtomedi, MN
James, was helpful from start to finish and knowledgeable .

Virginia, a seller from Lilydale, MN
This is my third experience working with James. He helped me sell my house, in a bad market, in 2010. In 2011 he was essential in making a good purchase of a condo, a condo that had been on and off the market for a few years. This past June helped sell this condo. James has all it takes, great people skills, deep knowledge of the current trends, a great sense of humor, always available to answer questions and a wonderful sense of humor. Both the home in 2010 and the condo in 2022 were sold to the first looker for the asking price....cannot get any better than that!

Sally, a seller from Hugo, MN
Knowledge of area , Professional experience good

Shannon, a seller from Minneapolis, MN

Sharon, a seller from White Bear Lake, MN
This was the first time selling a house. James made this process a lot easier then I expected. He told me all the steps and everything fell into line just as he said. I was happy with the whole process

Brandon, a buyer from Maplewood, MN
Being a first-time homebuyer, I had little knowledge about how the buying process would work. James was better than I could have asked for and was so knowledgeable about the areas, costs, and steps it took to finally close. Really appreciated him breaking things down in so much detail with me.

Leslie, a buyer from Forest Lake, MN
We were moving from out of state. James made the process so easy! He kept on top of everything and made us feel comfortable. Hes so positive and knowledgeable about the area and the whole process. We definitely recommend James and would give him 10 stars if possible!!

Bill, a seller from White Bear Lake, MN
highly professional , and always available to take care of us as if we were his only clients.

Carol, a seller from St. Paul, MN
It was a joy to work with James. It didn't hurt that we found out that he was in the same class as my second son at White Bear High School. It was 29 years since we had moved the last time and he guided us skillfully and explained how things have changed over the years. He helped us to realize what we needed and wanted in a new townhouse and I think he found us the perfect one at the price I could afford without having to find more money than I was getting for my old house.

Peg, a seller from Hugo, MN
I had a great experience with James. He not only was extremely responsive to questions and queries. A great realtor

Mark, a seller from St. Paul, MN

Daniel Moris, a seller from White Bear Lake, MN
I would say if your looking for a reliable, honest, faith filled realtor, James is your person to contact. I originally started with RedFin, and was totally disappointed in there sales tactics. I was lied to and decided. I rejected working with them. James took the time to answer all my questions and was ALWAYS available to talk to and went I couldn't reach him, he returned calls asap! I couldn't be happier with him and his assistants. My house sold in one day at a price 9% over listing! Thanks James! Reverend Daniel Moris

James Sanchez Its been my real estate agent for many years and never had a problem ever

Kevin, a seller from Ramsey County, MN
James was prompt and attentive to our questions. Our property sold quickly for a good price with no problems.

Steve, a seller from Center City, MN
James was referred to us from someone who had a previous real estate transaction with him. He helped us sell my elderly mothers home in 2020. He was so kind and thoughtful as he guided my mother through the process. Taking the time with great patience explaining what things meant and what to expect in the process. He also had to deal with those meddling kids keeping a close eye on their financial prize as they are eventual heirs to the transaction outcome. I would highly recommend James if trying to sell a home with these circumstances. He gets it and knows how to handle the gentle dance of the normal dysfunctional family.

As a result of our experience with James selling my mothers home we enlisted his expertise for the future transaction of selling our long time home in the spring of 2021. James is the true professional telling us with brutal honesty what we needed to spruce up and what to expect as our home was well lived in with no updates. We listened to James and James listened to us through the entire transaction. If you're looking to buy or sell in Minnesota or Florida we would highly recommend James and his assistant Joclyn to make your real estate transaction a pleasant experience.

Dick Koeckeritz, a seller from Hugo, MN
We had great success with James and highly recommend him to sell your property. He helped us come up with the right listing price to a quick sale and one that we got multiple offers above our asking price. He also advised us on how much or how little we should do to the property to make it salable, which saved us a lot of money and effort.

Kevin, a seller from Lino Lakes, MN
James gave us great insight in ways to get our home ready to sell. He knew the current market well and provided us with good information on how to maximize our homes value.

Keith, a seller from Ramsey County, MN
He did his job as the listing agent and sold the house.

Sue King, a seller from Woodbury, MN
James was my agent for my fathers estate.
I tried selling it on my own as it was in a prime location, listed at a fair price, seemed like a no brainer. Well with no luck, I contacted James, and with his knowledge, and expertise in the real estate field, BOOM it sold the first weekend. Taking that stress off of me after losing my father was the best thing I did. Thanks again James

Jeremy, a buyer from Wyoming, MN
I appreciated James's advice, guidence, effort, attitude.

James always answered the phone when I had questions, and did what he could to get answers to those questions.

I would be more than happy to have James as my agent in the future.

James Jablonski, a seller from White Bear Lake, MN
James gets to the point and gets the job done. Starts with a well discussed plan then follows the plan. No surprises. Needs more face on his advertisements.

Daryl, a seller from White Bear Lake, MN
He listened to our concerns, offered helpful suggestions. Showed us listings in our area to compare

Penny, a seller from Oakdale, MN
Besides being a nice person and knowledgeable in his field, the two things that I absolutely loved working with James was the fact that he never pressured to "stage" my place, but most importantly, the photos he took were accurate ... not distorted as so many listing photos are today.

Jen Sireno, a seller from Roseville, MN
Without a doubt I would go with James in the sale or purchase of any home. He was knowledgeable, quick to respond and professional. We worked with him to sell our home in St. Paul and purchase a new home in Fridley. The market was out of control so we needed to move fast and James never missed a beat, he was always willing and really worked hard to find us what we were looking for and needed for our growing family.

We would highly recommend him!

Judy and Rosemary, a buyer from Saint Paul, MN
James facilitated the sale of our home with a direct buyer and charged us a reasonable price. He listened to our description of our "dream home" and was a skilled negotiator with a challenging seller. He was an excellent listener throughout the whole process. His low fees enabled us to both sell our home and purchase what we were looking for. We would highly recommend him.

alaskanspawn, a seller from Minneapolis, MN
James was great, he adapted to our style of house hunting with little effort. We didn't need much help searching for a house but when it came to the negotiating and navigating the red tape he was there for us.

His photos of our house were well done and, in my opinion, helped sell our house as fast as it did. We were pleasantly surprised when it sold in 4 days. It did put us on the hot seat for finding a new house but it all worked out in the end.
