Jim is an excellent real estate specialist. He has several years of experience in this field. He grew up in DMV area, therefore he knows the culture and history of the communities and locations. He has a great network of people with different background and expertise which makes the home buying experience so much pleasant and sweet. He worked hard and helped us to find our first time home. We visited more than 15 houses together and he was always ready to take us there regardless how far it was or what time it was -early morning or late at night, to be the first in line to put the offer, in case we find our dream house. He has excellent negotiating skill and he can make a perfect deal for you just by a phone call! We are super happy that we had Jim in our side and could get our dream house with a good deal, in this hot and competitive seller market. Thank you Jim for all of your Extra Mile works and I hope we can work together soon (buying another house! :)) 2021
Jim went above and beyond to sell our investment condo. He gave good advise and worked hard to find us the right buyer. When our first buyers financing fell through, Jim acted quickly to put the condo immediately back on the market- with another contract in a week! He was professional, honest, and really cared. This wasnt a big ticket sale, but Jim worked hard for us. Some realtors might work hard if they stand to make a larger commission, but Jim gave us 100% despite the size of the sale. He made it clear our needs and timing mattered to him. Jims honesty, integrity, work ethic and knowledge are commendable. I highly recommend him. 2020
Jim's level of service, knowledge of the market, and ability to negotiate on his clients' behalf are simply amazing. He is exactly what a home buyer or seller should look for in an agent.
When we were looking to buy, the VA/MD/DC housing market was HOT. Homes would be posted one day and they would be sold the next. We were first time home buyers, who hadn't even secured a loan, when we found the perfect house and needed to move fast. Jim connected us with a mortgage broker and finished mountains of paper work for us with incredible speed. Our offer was submitted the following morning and WE GOT THE HOUSE before other people could even get their offers in.
Jim really does go the "extra mile". I recommend him highly and am SO GLAD he was our agent. 2019
Jim is passionate about providing the best possible service to his clients. He truly cares about everyone involved in the process, and wants the best possible outcome for all parties. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and will work hard to sell your home quickly for the best price. Despite the fact that we were living on the other side of the country, the listing, sale and closing of our MD home went smoothly thanks to Jim and his team. Jim was always available via phone and email, and he made frequent visits to check on the house. He helped with preparing the house for sale, and also oversaw repairs to a broken water pipe. Our house sold in 3 days (for more than the asking price) thanks to Jims hard work and dedication. We highly recommend Jim and his team. 2019
Jim really does go the extra mile. He always responded immediately and supported us 100% through closing. Hes a long-term resident who knows the market well. He also has a high ethical bar and worked with us to try to find a win-win deal where both parties are respected. If you want a shady realtor go with someone else. If you want a hard worker who treats people with decency then Jim is your guy. 2019
First and foremost, my overall experience working with Jim was perfection! Before I spoke with Jim, buying a home was something that I viewed to be impossible as a single, working, mother with bills to pay. When I called Jim in mid February, his first question was So, when do you want to be in your new home, by spring or summer? I was so excited by this prospect that I almost dropped my phone! We met right away and started the hunt for my just right house. Jim walked me through every step with patience, caring, and the utmost expertise. He came to every walkthrough with enthusiasm and a critical eye, making sure I didnt jump on anything too soon or something that wasnt right for me (I am so thankful for that). When I found my perfect house, Jim encouraged me to think about it and weigh all options before signing on the dotted line. When the time came to make an offer he took care of everything and made sure to consult with me about every detail of the deal. Closing two months later, was a breeze and I can honestly say that I could not be happier with my new home and with choosing Jim Byrne as my agent. 2019
Jim was our real estate agent for our recent home purchase. We had just returned to Virginia after living in England for 11 years, and hence we felt a bit unfamiliar with the market. We needed to rely on someone like Jim to find the right place. Jim knows northern Virginia and metro DC like the back of his hand; this enabled him to point out the advantages and disadvantages of every neighborhood and property.. It was also clear in working with Jim that he had a great team behind him--Ken Bowers and the rest of the team also gave us great support.
We love our new home and Jim's integrity, ethics, hard work and market knowledge were all key for us in finding and feeling comfortable closing on the best property. I will definitely use him again! 2016
Jim went way beyond the extra mile to help sell my house, and obtained a timely and favorable closing for far more money than I had anticipated when I contacted him. He is trustworthy to the core, committed to serving his clients' interests (rather than his own), expert at negotiating, and willing to do whatever is necessary to get to settlement. He has my highest respect, admiration, and appreciation. 2019
