With 28 years of experience, dedication and strong communication you'll receive by hiring me to work on your behalf will help ensure a successful, profitable and stress free outcome! When selling your home or property you need a Broker or Agent who represents YOU one who has developed strategies that can maximize your profits and minimize the pain and hassle of selling. An Agent with buyer contacts and Investors looking to buy right away. An Agent who works exclusively on your behalf. You need an Agent who knows the market place and has knowledge such as: *Proper Pricing Strategies to sell not to sit. *Marketing and presentation strategies such as: Staging and Virtual staging to properly present your home. *Successful advertising and marketing of the property to both agents and the public instead of a 'data-input' Agent who only posts to the MLS and hopes for the best. An Agent who will represent your home or property. You need a depth of experience and a steady hand during negotiations that can sometimes be stressful. After mutual acceptance, guiding a home sale through the inspection process, title, escrow, and financing requires finesse and knowledge.
Hire James Minkley to do the work for you! I will work hard to make sure you get the best price possible for one of your largest investments.
**James is a real estate agent far beyond the average. With his insights in house construction and materials combined with a realistic yet visionary eye on an object's potential, he builds a solid and reliable relation to us as buyers. His professional standard is highlighted by straight manner, being on time and keeping promises. With a broad network in the real estate field behind him, no question is left unanswered, no stone is left unturned. We strongly recommend James, one of the absolute best agents we ever met. And believe us, we've met several over the years.
**James worked with us to find our first home. We were immediately impressed with James's up front and honest approach as well as his knowledge of homes in the area. We never felt pressured or rushed into anything. He was able to give us insight into which home improvement problems would be minor fixes and which would be major headaches. Ultimately he and his partner helped us find the right home for us. We highly recommend James for your real estate needs.
**James proved himself to be a thorough, professional agent. He helped us identify and narrow down our choices in Sammamish, Issaquah during a period of about 2 months of searching. He demonstrated patience and understanding while helping us reach a final decision on a purchase. I would recommend him to anyone in a position like ours.
**James is extremely professional, knowledgeable and experienced. He was very thorough in his explanations of neighborhoods, schools, and market trends when we were searching for a home. He is honest and I value his opinion greatly. I would definitely work with him again.
**James helped us buy our home recently, and I can recommend him with confidence. Aside from his experience with contractual items and escrow-related affairs, he simply took care of us every step of the way. He helped make what is normally an anxiety-filled process much less so.
**James expertly showed us around Issaquah and Sammamish. He was very thorough in his explanations of areas, highway access, neighborhood pros and cons. He’s also very knowledgeable about house construction. I wish he could sell our house that’s in another state!
**James was great to work with. Very responsive and intelligent. Highly recommended.
**James was very patient with me explaining the nuances of short selling my house. He referred me to a great attorney and CPA who helped me know what my options and liabilities would be. James walked me through the whole process from start to finish. His service did not end with the sale of my home. My credit, damaged from the short sale and overdue bills, was proving to be a problem when I applied for a new loan. James referred me to his credit repair specialist, and after 9 months of writing letters my credit was restored. What a relief! I'm now looking for a new home with James and recommend him to everyone I talk to about real estate.
**James was incredibly helpful in renting our place. Above and beyond any agent we've used before...even helped store some of things for a while. We wouldn't use anyone else.
**I have known James for several years and he has always been professional, honest, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his endeavors. He always has his clients' best interest in mind. I highly recommend him as a Real Estate Professional.
**James is an intelligent and diligent real estate professional. I would recommend him.

**My husband and I bought our first home working with James. He was amazing, very patient with all of our questions and concerns. Purchasing a Homepath/foreclosure home was more complicated than a normal home purchase, and we encountered several obstacles. James remained optimistic and realistic; it was so reassuring. At the end of the day he saved us thousands of dollars between renting and owning! As first-time homeowners, who have no family living in Issaquah, James has been an ongoing resource for contractors, appliance servicemen, and our home repair questions! When we're ready to upgrade from our condo to a single-family home, James is the first one we'll call.
**James is a professional; he knows exceptional building, architecture, and the real estate market in Sammamish. He is very kind, considerate, and quite polite and respectful. He listens well and you must meet him to understand his sincerity. I highly recommend him!

**James Minkley ...has been for me a very capable professional + has kept me informed precisely to my specifications regarding market survey info.
**James is the consummate professional. A man with impeccable character and integrity. He sold my Sammamish home less than 1 month after listing. He kept me informed at each step of the real estate process. I highly recommend James to handle all of your real estate needs and if and when I decide to purchase another property, there will be only one realtor that I will call on: James Minkley.
**I have not had real estate dealings with James yet, but as a friend, I would trust him with my life. He is honest, caring, always wanting to help, and very, very smart. Any prospective client should consider themselves fortunate to have him representing them. I have known James for many years and have been the beneficiary of his generosity, openness, and knowledge. I'm only sorry we now live on opposite coasts!

**James is a fabulous agent who goes over and beyond. He is committed to helping us find the perfect home which would meet our needs as a growing family, and meet our budget.
**James is well versed in the construction business, which means he can point out things other agents tend to overlook—he knows what homes have quality construction and which ones will be a 'money suck.' This is critical to buying a home in Northern Issaquah, as most of the homes were built a while back under different construction standards. He is reliable, always returns my calls, and does his research. I HIGHLY recommend James without reservations.

**I've known James for over 13 years. He has an incredible work ethic and has a wonderful way with people. One of the most honest and generous people you will ever meet. There is nothing he won't do for his friends or his clients. People that work with him enjoy spending time with him as well, making business a pleasure.

**Excellent and knowledgeable person. Also immensely talented. Capable of "full service" real estate, meaning that he is very conversant in construction and remodeling.
**As a personal friend for many years, I can personally vouch for James's integrity, work ethic, loyalty, and trustworthiness. You could not go wrong having James represent you as his client in the real estate market.
**I know James as a deeply responsible friend, father, scuba diver, wakesurfer, and human being. He is most trustworthy and has a good sense of humor.
—Hank Morton, Client, Buyer
**James has an incredible knowledge of the real estate market, and an excellent approach to handling real estate transactions. Additionally, his experience as a builder/contractor lends itself to really useful advice when looking at homes. Whether you're on the buyer or seller side of the transaction, he's with you every step of the way.
**James knows real estate—literally inside and outside.
**In a walk-through of homes, he helped me to identify pros and cons. His responses to my questions helped me decide.
James is the perfect agent to have at your side.

**I have been James's client on both the seller and buyer side of real estate in the past year. I would recommend him without reservation: he is highly motivated, honest, down-to-earth, and an exceptionally dedicated advocate.
**When James was building his house a few years back, I had the pleasure of installing a new roof here in Sammamish. I would recommend James to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
