James Hawkes - Testimonials

From the initial meeting to the ultimate -and fast- sale, he was professional, hands on and always available for questions and feed back. His knowledge of the area and expertise in the market was invaluable. We did not know Jim prior to this transaction but I am so glad we found him and had him handle our sale. I have been involved in many real estate transactions - both as a real estate attorney and personally as a buyer/seller of property. I can honestly say Jim is one of the best realtors I've had the pleasure to work with.

Besides being knowledgeable, kind, personable and fun to be around, Jim is perhaps the most patient real estate professional I could have engaged. Without exaggeration, he took me to see nearly 100 homes over a period of about five years. My initial search began before the pandemic, then stalled, but during this time he stayed in touch and patiently waited for me to become comfortable enough again to continue my search. Once we resumed the hunt, he always encouraged me to have faith, reassuring me that the right home would come along. I know I couldn’t have been an easy client to deal with because I could find fault with the Taj Mahal ( let alone nearly every house he showed me), but Jim understood my hesitance. He knew I was nervous about making such a big change and he hung in there with me. He encouraged me to take whatever time I needed, knowing this was a big step for me. I never felt pressured or rushed by him — only reassured to know I had a true ally and partner looking out for my interests. Once I finally found the house of my dreams, he went into high gear to make sure it didn’t slip through my shaky fingers. He was always there to take my calls, answer my questions, negotiate on my behalf, and follow through until the deal was done to my satisfaction. He is a consummate professional and I highly recommend working with Jim for his outstanding expertise, attention to my best interests and unmatched service.

From the very beginning, he stood out - not just because of his professionalism, but because of his unwavering dedication, support, and positivity. Working with Jimmy was like having a trusted friend in our corner. He eased every single stress, no matter how small, and was always there for us, often at a moment’s notice. From our first meeting, we knew he was the right fit, and he continuously proved us right in more ways than we can count. Throughout the process, he instilled a sense of confidence in us that never wavered, even when others tried to shake it. Jimmy, you are a total boss at what you do. We felt seen, heard, and supported at every step, and that kind of care is rare. If we hear of anyone buying or selling in New Jersey, we won’t hesitate for a second to recommend you. You’ve been nothing short of incredible. Thank you for everything.
