Jim Pope – RE/MAX

What a wonderful experience working with Mr. Pope. He’s a real, genuine person who cares about making the process easy, painless, and SUCCESSFUL for his clients (and no, I’m not a paid spokesperson!). I’ve dealt with several realtors over the last 10-​years and Jim is someone whose knowledge and integrity I never once questioned, which in itself makes the process so much easier. Thanks Jim.

We have used Jim to buy, sell and refer. He is terrific, really knows his stuff, is easy going and very patient! I would highly recommend him as a real estate agent.

Just got our first house and I have to say the process was pretty easy and we owe it all to Jim. He was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house or even sell one. My daughter even likes him, she thinks he’s such a cool guy and I agree! Thanks again Jim, you rock!

Jim Pope is Great. I have worked with a lot of Realtors in the 15 years that I have been doing mortgage loans and have found none better than Jim. He is a team player, is a past President of the Whatcom County Association of Realtors, and an excellent negotiator. Jim has the reputation that you need behind you when selling your home, his valuations and reputation as a good person to work with will entice other Realtors to show his listing before others. If you’re a buyer his attention to detail and ability to listen will enable him to show you what you want to see, rather than what just comes up on a search or a collection of his listings. Even if you find your home online, a Realtor with Jim’s reputation and knowledge is who you want on your side when you find yourself in negotiations for a home or investment property. Sincerely, Jack Decook, Sr. Mortgage Loan Originator, NMLS # 409 940

I can highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Bellingham or any of the surrounding areas. His knowledge of contracts, negotiations, and the local area is invaluable to his loyal clients.

I’ve seen Jim interact with clients, I’ve seen him bend over backwards for them, and even though I didn’t use Jim Pope when we bought our place (had to go with the wife’s parents) I have used him to look into my contract and some issues I’ve had since… and he has given us exceptional service with up-​front answers. His positive attitude, knowledge of the industry and laws, quick responses, and desire to truly find what is best for people is evident.
When you work with Jim then you can not only expect the best service around but he truly looks out for others.
I would HIGHLY recommend Jim Pope to anyone who is looking.

Jim is an amazing real estate agent. He helped my husband buy his first home more than 12 years ago. Since then he has helped us sell and buy two homes. In fact, by now, he’s not just our real estate agent, he’s our friend!
Jim is great on so many levels. First of all, he goes above and beyond what a typical agent will do. He is there through every step of the process, not only explaining each step, but laying out the pros and cons of all your options. Secondly, Jim knows the business inside and out, so when he offers you advice, you know it is good. Last, but not least, Jim is trustworthy. He sincerely wants you to get the property that will truly mean «home» to you! We never felt pushed towards a house or manipulated — which I have with other agents, sadly.
Jim was a gem when it came to selling — and believe me selling is a much more difficult process than buying! He made a great go-​between and kept us sane and level-​headed (well, as much as he could).
We just had Jim and his wife over for a BBQ to celebrate our first year in our new home, and we couldn’t be happier. I always encourage anyone I know who is interested in selling and/​or buying to give Jim a call first — it is a decision you won’t regret!

I had a great experience with Jim as my realtor.
Throughout the process of finding my place, I could tell that he really likes being a real estate agent. He was happy, friendly, and liked talking about real estate. (Jim is one of those rare individuals who is easy talk to… it feels like I’ve known him my whole life.)
When my perfect place came along, he found it right away. (the day it was listed actually) After we realized what a outstanding find it was, he helped me place an offer and eventually beat out a few other bidders.
My home buying experience with Jim was excellent overall, but the biggest reason I’m giving him 5 stars is because I felt he was trustworthy. Buying a home was such a big thing in my life that I wanted to be sure I had someone I could trust who knew the laws and rules and could protect me against making a mistake. For the entire process following my accepted offer, Jim met with me regularly to keep me informed and review any potential issues.
Since I’ve been living in my place for a few years now and I haven’t had any surprises, I know that I was really lucky to have Jim as my realtor and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to my friends.

Jim Pope is an outstanding Realtor who goes above and beyond for his clients. In 2007, Jim helped me buy my first home. He was patient and professional while showing me how to become educated on a variety of topics including neighborhoods, condos, homeowner’s associations and financing options.
Although the homebuying process can be stressful, especially for first time buyers, I was always confident that Jim was providing me with top quality service and expert knowledge. Jim is also so personable that he can build trust and make friends almost instantly. I highly recommend that you consider working with Jim Pope for any of your real estate needs.
