"They were very helpful. In the beginning they suggested a list of things that would help sell the property. As the time went on they met with workmen and local business people to complete other projects to the property. They keep me informed after open houses and when someone looked at the property. I would use them again."

"My husband and I were referred to Jim through a friend of a friend as we started our search for a Cape House. Jim was the perfect realtor. Jim listened to what we were looking for, lined up a number of homes for us and spent quality time getting to know us and read us. Based on his assessment of our needs and wants, he was right on. He said he shared this with his wife, Leslie and together they found us the perfect house. The house, location, amenities... it was exactly what we were looking for and we were so impressed. The entire negotiation process through closing and after, Jim was always on top of everything, shared the details with us and updates on the progress along the way. He didn't skip a beat, was very clear and very professional and felt like our friend at the same time. We will be recommending Team Van Ness every opportunity we have!!"

"We worked with Jim Van Ness as our agent when searching for properties on the Cape. Jim was professional, knowledgable, and always readily available when we had any questions. He answered quickly and expeditiously. My brother had purchased property from Jim a few years ago and recommended Jim to us. Jim found our perfect property in Harwich which we closed on in early April 2015. He offered to be a point of contact for follow up on pending jobs which was priceless since we live three hours away and this was our vacation home. I would highly recommend Jim and Team Van Ness for real estate needs."


About Jim
Agent is affiliated with Kinlin Grover which is now a part of Compass.

Team Van Ness has been serving Cape Cod home buyers and sellers since 2000.  Starting off with Jim getting his license, his focus on delivering premier service has resulted in being a top producer since 2004, averaging between 20-25 transactions per year. Even growing up all around the world as a military brat, The Cape is always where his family circled back to and it’s even where he took his first steps on the sand of Wellfleet Harbor where Jim’s grandfather had purchased a traditional Cape Cod cottage. When Jim and Leslie’s youngest child went off to college, Leslie earned her sales agents license in 2013 and thus, Team Van Ness was launched in doubling their efforts into turning your real estate dreams into reality. Leslie added a great deal of knowledge and Cape Cod expertise as a long time resident of the Cape as well as a love for helping people turn a house into a home.

When they’re not working, Jim and Leslie enjoy spending time with their 3 children and spouses as well their 4 sweet grandchildren. They love staying active by enjoying paddle boarding, pickleball, hiking as well as taking in all the Cape has to offer in terms of local music, art, food, and coffee-where you can probably expect your first meeting to be at one of their favorite local coffee roasters. Whether you’re relocating, desiring to move year round, or wanting to own your vacation home, Team Van Ness is able and experienced to meet all your needs, so pull up a chair and let’s get the ball rolling!
