James was very responsive and knowledgeable about the commercial real estate industry. For someone buying a commercial building for the first time, I am extremely grateful that James was there with us the whole way. He was able to address all of our concerns and made the whole transaction very smooth.

James accomplished what a different agent was unable to deliver after having the listing for 12 months. Unfortunately, our sale price was far below initial expectations but we were grateful to finally sell our inherited home. After James took over the listing, his timely communication was very helpful especially considering one of the siblings was out-of-state. We appreciate his efforts.

After searching for realtors online, I decided to hire James for the job. We are California residence and needed to quickly list the property because it was recently put into an irrevocable trust. James didnt wait for a buyer to come to us, he actively brought a potential buyer to the property and sold him on the building. It was listed for only a week or two before the deal was written up. We closed escrow in just 2 months. Thanks James BALLIET of KW Commercial!!! You made a stressful process for us so much easier to manage.
