Downsizing

I am a downsizing expert. Since 2008 I have guided more than a hundred individuals and families through this emotional and often confusing transition.

As a regional expert in Senior Downsizing who holds a SRES® (Senior Real Estate Specialist) designation, I am often called upon to speak at community events, I’m quoted in The Seattle Times, and I offer guidance to other agents. I am trusted by the area’s best senior communities, including being the preferred Realtor at Redmond’s Emerald Heights Retirement Community.

As a specialist in senior downsizing and moving, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and considerations that come with this process. Whether it's helping seniors transition from a larger home to a smaller living space, or navigating the emotional and logistical aspects of a move, I am here to support and guide them every step of the way. With compassion, expertise, and a focus on their specific needs and goals, I strive to make the transition as seamless and stress-free as possible.

“Jim was a godsend recommended by one of my dear friends when I had to sell my home in Woodinville with very short notice because I had to move out of state to help take care of my new granddaughter. He gave me advice on everything and went above and beyond expectations to get my home ready. He took care of the mess I left behind and had all the pros working hard to transform my home into a gorgeous sought-after home.

My home got an offer for $350K above listing in 36 hrs and closed in 25 days. I never thought it would be this quick and stress-free even in this hot seller’s market and Jim made this possible with his expertise and hard work.

He is a kind and caring person who truly enjoys helping his clients during a stressful time. He even gave me a ride to the airport and met the driver for my auto transport and PODS movers after I left.

He sold my friend's home and several of her friends' homes as well, and Jim deserves the rave recommendations given to him.”
