Working with John was a pleasure. His responsiveness, market knowledge, and patience were exceptional as I sold my house in another state and got ready to purchase one with him.
We cant say enough about working with John! He was so patient with us and knowledgeable! He over exceeded our expectations! John was so kind and went out of his way for us over and over again. We will definitely be using him again!
Once we made the decision to sell our home, it was time to start doing our research and first up on the listfinding a realtor! The name that kept popping up was John Grimes, so we gave him a call!
From the first time we met with him, we were impressed with his knowledge of the area and the market, and loved the fact that he took the time to explain how he would market our home. He knew when the best time was to list, offered valuable information regarding getting our home show ready, and his wife who is a professional stager helped us with adding just the right touches to make our home stand out to buyers.
Another thing that really stood out to my husband and I about John was that he doesnt just grab up a million listings with a maybe Ill sell one or two mentality. He takes on a few at a time so that he can give each listing the time and attention they deserve, and works hard to get the best deal for his clients. To say that my husband and I were elated when we had our home under contract in 6 DAYS would be an understatement. And not only that, but we got asking price!
If you want a realtor who knows this area inside and out, and advocates for his clients to ensure the best possible outcome, John is your guy!
We found John Grimes thru Facebook and we couldn't be more pleased with the service he provided for us. We are across country which makes looking for a house challenging. John was more than willing to work with us. He continually kept us in the loop as to what to expect. We would highly recommend him for all your real estate needs.
John made the process simple, which is saying a lot considering we bought a house in Atlanta while living in Los Angeles. From the onset, he made an effort to get to know us as a couple, define what we were looking for in a property, and share listings that matched our ideal home. Once we found a place that met those parameters, he orchestrated the initial offer, recommended a great loan officer, and coordinated with the sellers all while we were on the other side of the country. We felt informed and comfortable the entire time because of John's diligence and excellent communication. All in all, I would recommend John to any of our friends and family in the future.
From the time I signed a contract with John to sell my house I was amazed at the communication and professionalism he gave me. My house was under contract within 4 days with about 20 offers! John kept me informed throughout the whole process with all of my first time seller questions. John was so down to earth and gave me real expectations without pie in the sky numbers, John actively worked hard to get me the best deal possible and I ended up 50,000 over my expectations with all of my conditions. He really listened to what I wanted and came through on all accounts. As I moved out of state I cannot use him for any future purchases but I wish I could drag him along to represent me. He was just awesome.
John advised us on the value of our home and it sold within 2-3 weeks! We never felt pressured but gained so much confidence in John along the way. He is well connected in the area. We tried to sell with a flat fee MLS before contacting John and our house sat on the market for 6 weeks. Once he listed it, it was a breeze! Highly recommend John without any reservation!
John Grimes was great to work with on the purchase of my first home. He is professional, knowledgable, and honest. After having a terrible experience with a previous realtor, I was extremely hesitant with working with another... however John proved to have my best interest in mind at all times, which I am extremely thankful for.
First off, John took the house my parents had been struggling to sell and worked his bum off to get people in the door. The difference between him and their previous experience was night and day. That alone was 5 star service.
But then he had to manage our families crazy life. My father suddenly declined and entered his last few days of life while the house went under contract. Our family and John scrambled to make sure we had all the possibilities covered to make sure the sale could still go through for my mom. John figured out all the possibilities and made sure everything concluded smoothly.
Wow where do I start. I was buying a house from California, we knew we wanted to be in Georgia near Acworth. I posted in the Leaving California FB group and started a conversation with John about a year ago, we kept in contact then when it was time I reached out. He was not only our eyes, ears, he was our nose, nobody wants a house that smells of smoke or mold. We didn't have a huge budget, but that didn't matter to John (it is a big thing in the state we are leaving). We did a video walkthrough with him and my husband and I liked the house so we moved forward. He walked me through all the process, since coming from California things are different then what I was used to. I decided to do all inspections (inspection, septic, pest control) he was at all of them, he did a video walkthrough with us and the inspector. The inspector even commented that it was one of the best looking houses that he has seen in a long time. He was along the ride with me the entire time, even at my closing last week. I would HIGHLY recommend John, he was amazing with the entire process.
I did a bunch of google searches on a great realtor and John's name came to the front of the line. This was a unique house on a busy road so he had to find the perfect match and this was all well before the covid frenzy. He found that perfect person during a open house he had and closed the deal. Moving forward on the other two houses he sold for us were a bit easier but his negations skills I believe kept more money in my pocket.
If you want a great agent who is on top of the market with pricing and everything else John is the guy. He gives pointers and assists you all along the way from start to finish. When it come to negotiations hes on top of it. I would highly recommend him if your looking for an agent.
This is now my fourth transaction Ive done with John. I keep going back to him as he is always prompt, knows how to orchestrate a deal, and knows his markets.
Unless I were to become a realtor myself, I will continue to use John going forward in the Atlanta metro area and the surrounding suburbs.
John will now continue to be our family realtor. We will recommend him to everyone we know. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was with us every step of the way. And made him himself available for every house we wanted to see and sent us homes as soon as they hit the market, which was so helpful. He made us feel so comfortable and the stress of moving cross country was far less than we imagined because of John. Not only is he the best realtor, we also found a new friend.
John was amazing and we are so happy that he was our Realtor! From the first time we sat down with him he was in tune with what we wanted and was on board with us!! From staging, having professional pictures done, having our open house and making sure we got the best offer, he was always on top of his game!! He would check in with us when we were under contract to see if we had any questions, stopped by when he was in the area to say hello and we always felt he had our best interests. Such a nice guy and we would highly recommend him to sell your house and to find you a new one!
10+ offers first weekend of listing and most importantly sold at 15% over list price. John did a great job guiding us through the entire list/sales process. Whether you are buying or selling, I highly recommend you engage John early. Rock Star!
John helped me buy a house five years ago and then sell the same house a few days ago.
Both transactions didn't take more than a week bcs he was able to find a house we loved quickly and also find an excellent offer when we were selling by working diligently, while I was out of state.
He is knowledgeable and will make excellent suggestions for improvements to make if you are selling. The paint colors he suggested really made our house more welcoming for potential buyers.
I highly recommend John. He is knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our concerns and questions throughout this process. He is kind, patient, and a joy to work with. We appreciate all of his hard work and persistence in helping us find our first family home!
We have worked with many realtors in a few states and John shines above them all. Knowledgeable, patient, and observant. He guided us through this challenging time for buying a home and wasnt pushy or negative in any way. I highly recommend him!
John was aggressive in his approach to selling my home. He worked continually to market it and keep it seen on many sites. Because my home was different in some ways, it took a little longer to find a buyer fit, but John never wavered in his determination to do everything possible to get it sold. John is a nice and professional agent who is wonderful to work with.
John Grimes was aware of what we were looking for and called us out of the blue to inform us about a property that he thought we would love. We loved and bought that property because John found it, stopped everything in his life to come out during suppertime, in rush hour traffic, so we wouldnt get beat out of the sale. He reassured us and led us through process. John has a long track record as a successful, award winning agent and has a sweet and funny personality. He also has a vast knowledge as a handyman that comes in handy while assessing a purchase. Do not hesitate to hire John Grimes as your agent!
We used John Grimes as our selling agent in 2016 when we sold our house to move out of the country. We had multiple offers in just 2 days and the process was painless. When we decided to look at buying again in the area, we knew John was our guy! He made our buying process simple - even when we did EVERYTHING from another country! He's kind and professional. He also takes pride in his job and is approachable. I love seeing his listings online because he goes above and beyond what's expected for a realtor. He has a personal touch that is hard to find!

John has always been excellent when working with real estate.
This is my third transaction with John and every one has been a blessing. I will continue to use him going forward and recommend him to my friends wherever possible.
He has helped to negotiate closing costs as well as ensuring that each buyer and seller gets a solid deal on the property they are interested in.
John pretty much held my hand through the whole process. He's the best
Dr. Debra S. Bingham Marietta, GA, a buyer from Marietta, GA
John is the best. He continues to not only meet my expectations, but exceeds them. I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best there is to offer!
As a first time home buyer the process was daunting, but John Grimes made the process seem easy. He patiently helped me narrow down what I was really looking for (not what I thought I wanted!) and offered helpful suggestions and insights I hadn't thought about as we toured properties. His knowledge of the local market was invaluable in helping to find just the right place. Once I found the right place John walked me through the paperwork and process with great patience. As everyone I know was telling me horror stories about their own closings, mine went through without a hitch, and John definitely helped streamline that process. I would (and do!) recommend John Grimes to anyone buying or selling a home.

John worked hard at negotiating the sale of our house and was always available for our questions. He is an excellent Broker. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family. 2018
