Trusted Experience
”Jim Wire has been our realtor since the beginning of our vacation home journey. He was the one who helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and diligent. Now full circle, he has been amazing in helping us sell our vacation home. He helped prep and ensure everything was ready even though we could not physically be there. Highly recommend him and will be using him again for our next purchase.”
”Jim is a very thoughtful, responsible and respectful professional with the highest integrity. I was fortunate to have Jim represent me in the real estate transaction. He is knowledgeable in current sales trends as well as macro economic and geopolitical impacts on market conditions. His attention todetails resulted in a smooth and issue free transaction. On a personal level through numerous phone interaction, Jim came across as warm, friendly, easy going and grounded, and very much wanting to provide support, guidance and help whenever needed. It has been a most pleasant experience working with Jim. Thank You.”
”It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jim Wire during the sale of our home in South Lake Tahoe. As agents ourselves, who live in the bay area, we appreciated his local real estate knowledge and immense professionalism. Our first escrow on the property was inexplicably difficult. Jim was supportive, positive and encouraging until we were able to find the perfect buyers. Jim’s use of internet marketing was excellent. He was always available and energetic, and a good source for local contractors and inspectors. He is the epitome of the fully informed real estate agent and a great guy.”
“Jim went above and beyond during the sale of my home, which faced some unexpected challenges like the heaviest snowfall in 50 years. As a secondary/ vacation home, I was not on site to address immediate issues and Jim stepped in to help even though it wasn’t really his responsibility. It took an immense amount of the pressure that comes with selling a home off my shoulders. He communicated regularly the status of the home, market, and offers. His advise was invaluable in making adjustments that eventually led to the sale of the home to the satisfaction of all parties involved”
”I worked with Jim Wire on the purchase and sale of my townhome in Lake Tahoe, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Jim demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, providing me with valuable insights and strategies tailored to my specific needs. He was always prompt in responding to my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. Jim’s strong negotiation skills helped me not only purchase the townhome for a great price, but also secure a great offer when it was time to sell, and I truly appreciate his dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent in the Lake Tahoe area.”
“Thank you! When we were getting ready to put our cabin up for sale, Jim was recommended to us by our neighbor. We were very happy with his services. He kept us informed as to what was going on, not only with our place but the ones around us. He advised us when we asked his opinion on a couple of offers and helped negotiate our final deal so we got exactly what we wanted. I know there are a lot of realtors out there, but I highly recommend Jim. “
“Jim made it very easy for me to sell my condo in Lake Tahoe as I live 400 miles away. He was very good to keep me informed and helped me through the documents. I don’t think it’s possible to find a better agent.”
“Jim was personable, prompt, and helpful. He was available by phone, text, email, or in person with every question through the entire process of purchasing our fixer-upper Tahoe cabin! Couldn’t recommend Jim Wire enough! He was awesome.”
