Let's see, where do I start? Bear with me while I figure out how to articulate my experiences with James... First of all, I think he is a little too big for his britches. So... I say get him some bigger britches, and a bigger office too, as his office can get a little warm at times; probably because of all his mind bending information running at full speed all the time. He most certainly has earned them both. I'm pretty sure he thinks the world revolves him... Well, not really, but "I" think it should. I say that because he is always in the middle of everything, and I mean everything. Thankfully so because I could have never withstood the chaos, that he gladly battled on my behalf, without him. Often at times I worried about his sleep habits, because he doesn't seem to have any! Well, none that any sane human could maintain for any length of time. He was always available and happy to communicate no matter what time I needed him. I can't tell you how many conversations we had after I got off work at midnight, and not once did he complain. Seriously, this man must sleep with his phone attached to his hand, either that or he found the mecca for coffee. Either way, it's as if he eats, sleeps, and breathes his work. He is full of resources and patience. He has a SERIOUS amount of patience!!! Trust me, I know, I tested every single last one of them. Listening to him articulate real estate jargon into a language I could understand was mesmerizing. For the life of me, I can't figure out how he retains all of that information? THEN, if you're a veteran, like myself, he will introduce you to the most informative bootcamp you will ever attend as a civilian, the VA home loan bootcamp. It's a fascinating and enlightening experience to say the least, but that's another review entirely. If you are a veteran, make sure you GO to the bootcamp!!! James will fight FOR you, fight WITH you, and fight YOU if need be, in order to make sure that you get exactly what you deserve. At all cost, make sure you listen to him with bated breath, he's a home buying guru and real estate encyclopedia all rolled into that shiny bald head, big flashy smile, and fabulously majestic beard. Seriously, this guy gets it! PS: He seems to work better on a full belly so bring snacks... Lots of them... read more

James is awesome! After our first conversation I could tell that he was going to be a valuable person to have on my side. I spoke with James about helping me find an investment property in Pierce County. James was very quick to respond, and he not only gave me multiple options in Pierce County that matched my criteria, he also showed me options in King County and Thurston County. I've worked with a lot of real estate brokers and James has been head and shoulders above them all. He not only understands residential real estate, he also has an in depth understanding of investing. After doing my own due diligence on the properties that James presented to me, he was spot on and brought me more opportunities than I was able to handle, so I was able to pick the best out of the bunch to move forward with. James advised me of the best course of action to move forward with an offer and was on top of the paperwork for me through the entire process. James has became my "go to" broker and I would recommend him to my family. He is also a veteran, so if you are in the military he would be great to work with because he understands the challenges and processes of military life. If you don't at least check him out before you choose a broker, you're selling yourself short! read more

This was the fifth real estate transaction my wife and I have had in the past few years and was hands down, the best experience we have had. James' in depth knowledge of local market trends, expertise in marketing, and tenacious work ethic were so far beyond other experiences that there's really no way to compare. I knew and trusted James from other associations but even then, he wouldn't accept our listing until he actually sat down with us, explained his approach, and arrived at a common strategy going forward. From that point on everything happened quickly and without issue. Questions always quickly answered, honest, professional advice when needed, and a smooth, painless process. I hope he expands into California so I can use him again in a few years when we do this again. read more

I met James through another agent I work with regularly who thought we would make a great team. After meeting face to face we both knew instantly we wanted to team up moving forward. I haven't regretted it for a minute since! James is as passionate as he claims, both an intensely hard worker and someone who will follow through on his work regardless of any circumstance. I appreciate the care I have seen James give to his own, as well as our shared clients and will continue to recommend him and the services of Operation Red Dot Reality. If you are looking for an agent who is always learning, growing and expanding their services to better serve you....you have found your new partner. Thanks for all your hard work brother!! read more

James is a true soldier at heart & continues to live and apply the Soldiers Creed. He is a warrior and a member of a team, he always places the mission first, he is an expert & a professional, he will never accept defeat & will never quit. His energy is contagious. Not only would I recommend James, but as another industry professional I would trust him with my own personal business! read more

Our experience with the operation Reddot was spectacular. James and Shane were really helpful and so patient throughout the process. They educated us about things we didn't know as first time buyers as well as giving us information for the future. One of the most helpful parts was also the fact that they allowed us to use their moving truck free of charge. If you are looking for patient, hardworking individuals to help you purchase a home, these are the guys. We got the best deal and did not feel any financial strain. We are loving our new home. Thank you Operation Reddot read more

We would highly recommend Tim to anyone who is hunting for a house whether you want to purchase or rent. read more

I'm in the process of moving across the country for the Military. I was stressed out trying to find a realtor that I could trust in the area I'm moving to. I knew when James told me within a matter of days he had found a realtor that he trusted to keep my best interests in mind while buying a home, I knew he had put my wife and I in good hands. James always has a solution for whatever real estate problem I throw his way. read more

Tim was the second realtor we worked with and the differences between the two companies was night and day. Tim brought new listings to our attention almost daily and had solid straight forward advice regarding offers. After completing our transaction several of the other parties involved all had the same key words to describe working with Tim, efficient and on top of things. I highly recommend Tim! read more
