"I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Jamie. He listened to what we wanted in a house, asked thoughtful questions, and was able to show us listings that fit with our style and in our price range. With how crazy the market is, he advised us on how to be competitive with our offers and ultimately, helped us find our dream home. From our very first meeting, until we signed our closing documents, Jamie handled everything with grace and in a professional manner. He was always available to answer our questions and help us navigate this very daunting process. I am certain that our home buying process would not have gone as smoothly, without Jamie at the helm!" - Nina Clark

"As first time home buyers my husband and I had absolutely no idea what we were looking for or where to start, but Jamie guided us throughout the entire process. He is extremely knowledgeable and made us aware of many factors that we never even noticed or thought about. We landed a great house thanks to Jamie!" - Amanda Koslow

★★★★★
"Jamie was the buyer's agent for my husband and I as we relocated to Connecticut. We were unfamiliar with the process and inventory in CT, and we found ourselves searching during the height of a sellers' market. Jamie guided us through the decision around buying vs renting, showed us over 40 homes (and reviewed dozens more over endless texts), got quick answers to whatever we asked, helped us submit 4 offers, and ultimately landed us in a home that is truly perfect for our family. He gave us his honest view when we asked and picked up on what we liked and didn't like as we made our way through seeing various homes. In the end, he wouldn't let us settle, even when we were running out of confidence that we could find the right place on our timeline. He helped us navigate the negotiation of the house we purchased, to walk a fine line of moving things forward in a timely way but also maintaining the right leverage as the buyer. He also guided us through the closing process, helping us find an amazing inspector, the most wonderful loan agent, and a very efficient attorney. Lastly, he kept us laughing the entire time, to avoid becoming stressed lunatics. For us, working with Jamie was less of a transaction and more of a white glove partnership, and we are so so grateful for having found him. Highly recommend." - Rebecca

★★★★★
"Jamie patiently and efficiently helped us through every step of the home buying process. He encouraged us to see different types of properties as we learned what we wanted, and ultimately helped us broker an off-market deal for a home we love in a sought-after neighborhood with few properties in our price range.
Jamie referred us to a fantastic lawyer, mortgage broker, inspector and other vendors. He communicated clearly, directly and honestly with all of the parties involved in the deal. He always made time to help us on matters large and small. We'd recommend him to any home buyer."
- Greg Barone

"My family and I are so grateful for Jamie! We relocated to Stamford from New Jersey in June after selling our beloved home. Jamie was willing to check out homes to buy and rent while we were in the middle of our move and gave us great advice and opinions about the area. What we appreciated the most about Jamie was his patience and honesty…he never rushed us to put in an offer on a house that wasn’t going to be the best for us. He was incredibly responsive, prompt, and quick to show us homes. It’s clear that Jamie has the best interest of his clients on his mind and heart at all times.We highly recommend Jamie for all your real estate needs. We had so much fun and learned SO MUCH about the market in Stamford and we couldn’t have done this without him!" - Sarah Lennox

★★★★★
"James worked with me and my husband for a whole year while we looked for the right home. He was warm, friendly, readily available, and extremely helpful during the process. He never tried to convince us about a property one way or the other, but he did offer guidance and make sure we considered a lot of factors we wouldn’t have even thought of otherwise. He wasn’t interested in just making a sale, he really cared about finding us a home we would be happy in for a long time. When we finally found the right one, James advocated for us during the negotiation and the contract stages, making sure our needs were taken care of. He also gave us the best recommendations for a mortgage broker and lawyer. We just closed on our dream home this week, and we couldn’t be happier!" - Vickie Bergman

★★★★★
"As a first time home-buyer, with many considerations on location, size, price, etc., I didn't just need a realtor, I needed a sounding board, a devil's advocate, a cheerleader, a realist, an advocate and a trusted advisor. Jamie embodied all of what I didn't realize I needed in this arduous and emotional process. Especially in this latest market and while he had many other clients, I never felt second or less than. He was responsive, direct, thoughtful, proactive and determined. If you are looking for a realtor, you're welcome. You've found him." - Susie Starr

★★★★★
"We feel exceptionally fortunate to have engaged James Barone as our realtor for our relocation from Maryland to Greenwich, CT. Given it was an out of state move, we did not want to make multiple trips to look at houses, so we spent significant time researching neighborhoods and houses on the internet. Jamie reviewed the lists of properties we were considering, researched any potential issues, and advised us as to whether the properties would fit the criteria we had given him. He was extremely helpful in using his extensive Connecticut expertise to narrow down and prioritize our list of neighborhoods and properties. Jamie was very responsive – often we heard back from him within minutes with a response to our inquiries.
Jamie was a wealth of knowledge – on neighborhoods, home construction types + trends, value for money, resale value, and renovation ideas + cost, in addition to his expertise in the legalities of real estate transactions. Coming from out of state, we wouldn’t have felt nearly as comfortable buying a home remote had we not had his local expertise guiding us. Jamie helped us through all the contractual and closing details, which we were doing remotely. He arranged the necessary inspections and was present for such inspections as we could not be. Jamie was a joy to work with and we recommend him without any reservations."
