I had a wonderful experience working with Jim Guthery. He and his team were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that ever came up. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home, and any time that I have a need for a real estate professional, I will be giving him a call.

Bought a single family home in 2017 in West Chester, OH

Jim was an excellent realtor. He was as readily available, and never complained about how long it took to find the home I wanted. On occasions, he showed me 15/day. Even after closing, Jim was an "after-sales" service provider, in that he was able to recommend other service providers to me, to help with the moving and settling in my new home. I would recommend Jim to home buyers, or sellers, for that matter, without hesitation. Thank you, Jim!

Jim is truly dedicated to getting the best for his clients. His knowledge and extensive network provides support and understanding not found with every realtor. Jim will walk you through the process, help you feel comfortable with every aspect of the sale, and go to bat for you to make sure you are getting the best possible deal. We highly recommend Jim to anyone who is looking for an honest, quality realtor and we will use him again if we are ever in need of his services.
★★★★★ Marialice OHara July 2015 via Zillow

Bought a single family home in 2015 in Carlisle, OH

Jim is the most professional realtor I've ever seen. He was also super honest and pointed out deficiencies in viewed home and in several instances said quite bluntly that I could not buy that house. He is in the business for the long haul and gives his costumers ultimate service. I'm going to give his cards to my sister to pass out to people she knows who need a great realtor.
★★★★★ Kateri Gabriele February 2015 via Zillow

Bought a single family home in 2015 in Dayton, OH

Jim has the useful ability to determine features that were important to us when we could not quite put a finger on them. He is very knowledgable and pointed out strengths and weaknesses as we toured various homes. He is very accommodating in his schedule to show houses and also gives families plenty of time to explore and revisit homes as needed. Jim was a huge advocate for us in negotiating our home purchase. He surpassed our expectations with a negotiation on a house that did not work out--making sure that our safety was a number 1 priority. He then worked extra hard when we quickly needed to find a different house!

Bought a home in 2015 in OH 45036

Jim Guthery was great to work with, and very professional. We really enjoyed our time in his presence looking at new homes and even when we were filling out paperwork. He is just a joy to work with. Most notable was that Jim had a strong network of business professionals that were able to help throughout the entire process of buying our new home from inspectors and general contractors through to financing. We are really excited about our new home, and we wouldn't have had as much fun finding it with out Jim's dedication and work ethic.

My wife and I were looking at houses all year with different realtors. Nothing worked finally we found Jim and everything changed. He found the perfect house for us and helped us find a finance representative willing to work with us quickly. I can't say enough about Jim Guthery. He truly is a Real Estate professional.

I have been known Jim and his wife for few months. they are very good couple. Jim is a nice guy. He helped me with showings, listed my home, helping me to find a home that I want. I am very glad to be his customer, and that he is our agent.
★★★★★ Justin Wiedle October 2014 via Zillow

Bought and sold a home in 2014 in OH 45322

We used Jim for buying and selling. He was great to work with. On the selling side, he was willing to hold multiple open houses to sell our condo, and he arranged a great photographer to get nice pictures on the web for better presentation. He actually sold the condo twice, because the first buyer's finances fell through. On the buying side, he blocked off entire evenings so that my wife and I could view multiple houses after work, three days in a row. He also worked closely with our mortgage broker to make sure everything was on track. Realtors can be hard to trust, but Jim earned our trust throughout the process and I'd be happy to contact him again if we are ever back in the market.

★★★★★ jbcalvinjr September 2014 via Zillow

Bought a single family home in 2014 in Xenia, OH

Jim patiently helped my wife and I find the ideal home, in the ideal neighborhood, and at a fantastic price! First, Jim helped us find the right location based on our needs. Second, Jim connected us to a mortgage company that followed through a complicated VA process in less than 30 days (other potential mortgage companies were quoting us 40-50 days). Third, when looking at Jim's website and identifying potential homes to view, he would quickly respond with setting up a viewing at a convenient time for us. Jim responded to emails and text messages promptly no matter what time in the day. Last, Jim helped us assess the worth and appraisal value of our home by performing a pre-assessment based on sales of homes in the area within the last year, which helped us nail a great price on our new home! Cannot say enough kind words to describe the experience, but to sum it up in two words, AWESOME REALTOR!!!

★★★★★ richiekeaton August 2014 via Zillow

Sold a home in 2014

I used Jim for a listing and a purchase. I was very impressed with his level of determination on both sides. The listed house had some work done to it and he had the house sold before it was finished. The purchase of the house was smooth and the closing was really quick. Very little effort required on my part. Thanks again Jim for a great experience and getting me a fair price and finding the house I wanted. I would highly recommend these services.

Bought and sold a home in 2013

I met with some other agents and they didn't impress me at all. Jim did an excellent job and I recommend him to anyone. He is very knowledgeable, responds quickly to questions, and is very honest.
