Jim Jarrett's Client Testimonials

He was always communicative about every step of the process, and he explained all the documentation I was signing and why I was signing it. He was very transparent about the whole process. He displayed exceptional professionalism and a refreshing side of humor, throughout. Jim also worked very hard to accommodate my schedule, meeting me at the house I eventually bought so I could see the house a few times, even though it was out of his way. Clearly, Jim cares about his clients and is the best at what he does.

We cannot be more thankful for our experience with him - we are happier than we could have ever imagined!

There are not many people in the real estate industry who have the high level of integrity to walk the tightrope that is being a buyers and a sellers agent. However, Jim Jarrett did this flawlessly. The whole process was seamless from showing to closing and there was never a question about what was going on or where you were in the process. For us it was a great real estate experience and this makes the second one with Jim Jarrett.

Made the home selling process easy. Jim did a great job working with buyer, buyers agent and with buyers closing company all the way through including delays with closing date.

When I first met Jim I thought, "Boy, he is an ass, just like me, so we will either work well together or will butt heads!" We ended up making a great team and it was a very enjoyable process!

Working with Jim was flawless. Jim made me feel comfortable during the entire process, including the inspections and the appraisal. Jim listened to my frustrations and validated them as a customer through the process, even though none of my frustrations anything Jim was able to control.

His high integrity, experience and ability to negotiate with our buyer were very noticeable and keys to a timely and successful transaction. We highly recommend Jim to any potential buyer or seller and you won’t be disappointed.

Working with Jim was an absolute pleasure. He was extremely responsive and secured the opportunity
for me to tour a home within the first few hours it was on the market. We put in an offer that day and it
was accepted within hours. During the home buying process, Jim assured me during every single stage-
from the offer to the inspection and through closing. His extensive real estate knowledge put me at
ease.

Jim stands out from all of the other agents out there due to his experience and expertise. He really
cares about his clients and it shows!

We cannot say enough great things about working with Jim Jarrett! He made searching for our first home a breeze, even though we ended up building. He stood by our side through the entire process and came to every single meeting with us, no matter the time or importance. He was never more than a phone call or text away which helped calm our nerves! Would highly recommend Jim and he will be the first Realtor we seek out should we ever move again.

As a first-time home buyer, Jim was a joy to work with. He constantly communicated with me, thoroughly explained all the paperwork I was signing and why I was signing it; and displayed a professional, yet lighthearted demeanor throughout!

I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy a house. He will put you and your interests above all else and listen to your situation and wants.

I am writing on behalf of Jim Jarrett whom my husband and I have known for over a year now and who we have worked with in order to build our home. We started the process around last January with Jim to begin building our second home with because our first experience with another sales representative, unfortunately, was not a good one. Therefore, we made a request with our realtor to work with Jim since we had met him before and were impressed with the time that he had given us.

As far as our experience with Jim, I cannot say enough about his work ethic and care for us. He gave us a lot of his time throughout the entire process and answered our questions to the best of his ability and as quickly as possible. Overall, he just wanted to make sure that we were happy.

I believe that he is truly a very kind, diligent person who actually cares about the people that he works with. My husband and I became very comfortable with him and currently have a very nice relationship with him. If I ever have any questions, I know that I could turn to him. All in all, we have had nothing but a very positive experience with Jim. I just think that he is great!

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful service and guidance you provided us through the construction of our new home. As you know, we were first-time home buyers, and we were not exactly sure what we wanted or what we could afford to purchase.

We looked for a house for at least 18 months working with a number of real estate agents and speaking with many sales associates for new construction housing plans. We actually submitted offers for four properties during the course of our search, but all of these deals fell through for various reasons. We believe the reasons were mostly due to the lack of a proactive real estate agent.

As you know, we met you early on in our search for a home, and we fell in love with houses that, at the time, we could not afford due to higher interest rates or the cost. We admire your integrity in not trying to sell us a house that did not meet our budget. Despite the fact that we had worked with at least eight different real estate agents, you were the only one that kept in touch with us over the course of 18 months. From time to time, you apprised us of new construction that was available along with special sales incentive offers. You knew exactly what we were looking for and attempted to find the perfect fit for us. Jim, you were truly committed to not only selling us a house, but selling us the “right house”.

Being a young couple and first-time home buyers, we felt that you treated us as if we were your own children, giving us proper guidance and looking out for our best interests. You made the sales process extremely simple, and you were always so responsive in addressing our questions during the course of the construction. Often, the questions we had were not even your area of responsibility; however, you went out of your way to make sure we received timely and satisfactory responses.

Purchasing a home is a daunting experience and can be very intimidating, especially your first home. You do a tremendous job in shepherding your customers through the sales process, and we applaud the fact that you had so much patience with us. You had the tenacity to pursue us over a very long time, unlike most of the sales people we dealt with in the past. Jim, you are truly committed to your customers and, we are positive that you will continue to treat them with the level of service that we received. Good luck with your future endeavors, and if we are ever in the market for another house, we will be certain to call you. Please keep in touch.

We wanted to take this opportunity to write a commendation on behalf of Jim Jarrett. The family purchasing our home wanted to move in within 30 days of the contract. Needless to say, we were scrambling to find a home, and our real estate agent that sold our home was not really making it an effort to find us a new home. We were pretty stressed out, and becoming very discouraged, until we made a phone call, and met Jim.

Jim was very pleasant, personable, and went out of his way to make our entire experience quite enjoyable, which is not an easy task with the purchase of a home. Our goal was to be in a house before our kids started school at the end of August, and Jim went out of his way to make sure that it happened for us. (We closed on our new home 6 days before the start of school). If we had not happened upon him in our time of need, I do not believe we would be in our home that we are in now.

If there arises a need in the future for us to need a real estate agent, we would contact Jim to help us sell/buy a new home. We had a wonderful experience working with him, and would work with him again in the future.

I am writing this letter as a recommendation for Jim Jarrett. As first time homebuyers, we were nervous of taking that leap and regretting the decision that we made in choosing a real estate office. When I first walked into his office, Jim greeted me and thoroughly went through the process, with no pressure whatsoever and letting me show him the types of houses we liked. After throwing some ideas back and forth, Jim saw the style we liked and did an amazing job of finding that perfect house.

Not only did Jim work around our schedule but he was open and honest with his thoughts on how the house would “fit” us. He eased our concerns and made it as smooth of a process as possible, allowing us to feel like we got the best deal possible. The support doesn’t end with the sale as we have emailed Jim for various things regarding the house and he has always been timely and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first time buyers as it can be a scary experience if there is not stable support beside you the entire way, as Jim always was. When it comes time to sell and buy again, we look forward to working with Jim.

Thank you so much Jim! We don’t regret a thing with the entire process.

Jim Jarrett was the perfect agent for me at the perfect time. Its not often a home buyer has to rush to settle his purchase. My situation, however, required me to have a home (in a tight market) in two months’ time. Jim took the time to understand my needs (and my personality) and guided me through a very quick and very complicated process. I relied on him at a frantic time in my life and he came through. He balanced patience with drive and I came out a winner.

I am grateful for his experience, his expertise, his ability to quickly read sellers and their agents, and his ready knowledge of the real estate industry and the South Hill market. I would never hesitate to call on him again or refer him to my closest friends.

Taunya and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help in searching for our newest home and relocating the family to Pennsylvania. The search was both exhausting and tedious, considering that several of the months involved Taunya being still in Virginia. You gave us good solid information concerning the areas we were looking to reside. We pursued the interest of building...which failed miserably...and still you came through on the purchase of an ideal home for us.

I greatly appreciated that you did not waste our time chasing things you knew we would not be interested in. Your professionalism held us steadfast with you as our real estate agent. We were very concise with our desires for our new home and you direction lead us to it.

Thank you for assisting us in making the dream a reality.

We would like to express our gratitude for all of the guidance that we received from Jim Jarrett during our house hunting experience. We were first time homebuyers, living out of town, emailing (what seemed to be) endless lists of houses to view, and making frequent trips to Pittsburgh with our three month old daughter determined to find a home. Lucky for us, Jim was patient with our approach and just as passionate about the hunt as we were.

Due to our living situation, when we made the drive to Pittsburgh Jim gave us his undivided attention and booked multiple listings for us to see (making the most of our time). He always made us feel like he worked for us; he answered our phone calls and emails promptly; he scheduled every available listing we suggested; he never questioned our decision to walk or offer on certain houses. And despite the daunting amount of paperwork that goes with making an offer, Jim made us feel prepared and confident during the process.

When we finally found our home, Jim continued to work diligently with the sellers and helped us close the deal within two days! Beyond the search, Jim helped us gather the necessary closing documents and even took the time to come to our home inspection. We couldn't be any happier with our purchase and the service that Jim provided.

It was a pleasure to work with Jim Jarrett, he is an honest, friendly, hardworking Real Estate Professional and if we had to do the process all over again we would call him.

Of the many real estate experiences we have had over the past 30 years, this purchase was the best. Jim was the quintessential, buyer’s advocate using his abilities to ask the questions we had not thought of and obtain answers to those that were outstanding. We appreciated his straight forward and honest assessments of buying situations, his integrity in dealing with the sellers and his ability to recommend courses of action throughout the buying process. He tirelessly worked to shepherd the many details of the inspection and loan processes and was able to accommodate our compressed timeline of three and a half weeks which included not only finding a house but obtaining a VA loan, closing and moving in to that house. At the end, what a tremendous success!

If we were to go through buying another house there is no other realtor we would use. We highly recommend Jim in the buying process and know that he would be equally adept in the selling process.
