James Lee – RE/MAX Top Producers

James is an outstanding realtor. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and highly responsive. I would recommend him without reservation.

I have known James on a professional level for over six years since we worked a short sale together in West Covina in the Inland Empire. Short sales are never an easy or straightforward negotiation, and James’ team makes it look easy.
We have referred and worked on many deals since and his professionalism and real estate business savvy are peerless. Truly, it is a special type of individual who can thrive in the face of the type of retraction the real estate industry experienced in the last decade. Whether you are looking for your next home or vetting a commercial investment property, James will make sure your interests are well-​represented.

I had 5 other agents that wanted to sell my house for me and initially, I intended to sell my house on my own. But James gave me assurance that he can sell my house at the price I wanted and he did! He is an excellent negotiator! His pleasant, determined, and positive attitude makes everything doable. For a young person, he knows his business very well-​it amazes me. And he guides you through the entire process and he’s there for you even after hours. He makes you feel comfortable that it seems you’ve known him for a long time. If I had to sell another house, I would go with James.

This review is long overdue. I can’t begin to say enough about James’ services.
We initially met James at an open house in Eastvale. We loved his professionalism and non-​pressure approach. We had spent the entire afternoon telling dozens of agents that we were already working with someone (we weren’t), but James quickly established a trust and easy going conversation. We decided to give him out contact information and test the waters. Mind you, I worked in the industry for severe years, and had really considered forgoing working with an agent.
James contacted us promptly with several lists of homes that met our needs. We made several trips to Eastvale, and he was always extremely accommodating. He would work around our erratic work schedules at all times.
A couple of months into our home search, we ran into several personal issues that requires us to scratch moving to Eastvale. He didn’t bat an eye, and assured us that he would work with us wherever we felt we needed to search.
Long story short, after several unexpected turns in our life, working with us from Eastvale to Pasadena to Los Angeles and finally Northridge, he found our new home for us. We worked with him for well over a year, covered the majority of Los Angeles county, and he handled every step and turn like a true professional and friend.
I do not regret for a second having entrusted him with guiding us on this journey, and cannot thank him enough for everything that he has done for our family.
I recommend him to ANYONE looking for an agent. He has an incredible work ethic, but, most importantly, he truly cares!

Couldn’t have been happier with my purchase process. James you are the go to realtor. My experience with James lead me to finding the home of my dreams. From start to finish James kept me updated and worked out a great deal. Since my purchased a few years ago he has helped me in several other realtor transactions. Keep it up pal

James Lee is the best realtor! We have worked with James with a lease in 2010, sale and purchase in 2014. He was always available, honest, kind, professional and a true hard worker. We were so selective, I thought he would give up on us. Well, that was never the case. James always showed up with a smile. I would refer James to all my family and friends. We could not have asked for anyone better. We are customers for life.

James is the best short sale real estate agent! We had horrible lenders that would not work with us, and caused us months of stress and heartache. James worked tirelessly to get our short sale complete. Took night and weekend calls, reassuring us the whole way through. We are thankful to have met him, and highly recommend his services.

Hands down the BEST realtor we have ever worked with. My husband and I have worked with a number of realtors and James was by far our favorite! We have honesty found our realtor for life.
James is organized, respectful, determined, punctual, responsive, outgoing, caring, understanding, knowledgeable, self motivated, determined, and honest to name a few qualities. He is not pushy and truly was looking out for our best interest. James is extremely knowledgable in his field and 100% dedicated to his clients. Looking for a home can be a daunting task after visiting multiple homes and sometimes the feeling of settling for any home seems better. However, James continued to remind us that there was a right home for us and not to settle for any house to call home. Like I said before James is invested in the happiness of his clients. He was always looking out for our best interest.
As an added bonus my toddler loved him. He is great with kids! She actually enjoyed looking at homes with James and would ask for him if we went to a house without him. She too says that she only wants to go shopping for a house with James.
I highly recommend James to anyone who wants a wonderful experience purchasing a home. We couldn’t have been happier! Thank you James!

James is a fantastic agent to work with. We had a transaction together, where he was representing the seller and I was representing the buyer. It was a transaction that took a little more TLC than most because of some contingencies, but he stayed in communication with me at all times. He was always available when I needed something and was very respectful to my client’s concerns and questions! He knows what it takes to make a transaction come together and run smoothly for not only his clients, but mine as well! I look forward to working with him again on another real estate transaction soon!

James was a great help 3 years ago when we were on the verge of foreclosing, he stepped in and had a buyer to short sale our house and saved us additional grief, As well as helped us find a rental property. 2 months ago James also helped us find our new home. James is always very accessible via phone, email, text or in person, always made us feel that we were the priority, not the sale. I’ve recommended him to our friends and family and will continue to do so.

Fantastic Transaction James is the consummate professional. Smooth no surprises and worked hard for his client. I would recommend James.

Without question, short sales are the most complicated real estate transactions a homeowner can face — and the most prone to failure. That’s why I would recommend James Lee. He is the best short sale agent I know. His expertise is immense, he is professional and patient, and very dedicated to his clients. He knows just how to handle them and stay on top of things in order to get the best results for the homeowner. Though I am an realtor myself, I hand over all my short sales to him. It is crucial that you have an agent who is an expert with short sales and there isn’t anyone more knowledgeable than James.

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience purchasing our home, thanks to James. He was so patient and knowledgeable and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He went above and beyond to ensure we closed escrow on the day we needed to. We highly recommend him and we will be sending all of our friends his way!

I contacted James Lee when I was thinking about selling my house. James showed up in a suit and was very professional. He looked over my house and then we discussed some selling strategies. What can I say but THANK YOU JAMES! You know your stuff. Within the first week we had multiple offers on the house. James is a go getter and knows what he is doing. I have recommended him to all my friends.

I met James at an open house and was impressed by his professionalism. I do not like pushy people; but I do like go-​getters, and James knows how to get things done without being pushy.
James helped my husband and me buy a short sale house. He was always accessible, quickly responding to calls, texts, and emails.
James works with integrity and if we have real estate needs in the future, James will be our first and only call!

We recently moved into our first home and working with James Lee made the entire experience so simple & stress-​free. From the moment we contacted James he was extremely thorough with us, making sure to find us a home that had all our wants, needs, location, and (most importantly) our price range. He was extremely patient with us and always made sure to show us a wide variety of homes at every showing. James is so knowledgable and easy to work with, we will definitely be using him for any future purchases.

I had never short-​saled a house. So I googled it to research how to go about it. I saw James’s name come up and clicked on his site. It seemed to me he had knowledge and had experience; so I gave him a call.
From the outset he was thorough and explained everything I needed to know. We emailed back and forth because of questions I had. He was never once pushy and never once failed to answer my questions. We set an appointment to meet, and it was downhill from there.
Every step of the way James made it so easy. Still to this day my wife and I can’t believe how effortless he made it. Total pro. I recommend him to everyone who’s thinking of buying or selling. Honest, gets back to you when you need an answer, follows through AND great attitude. We just had the most positive experience. If we ever buy or sell again, we’re going with James.

We had a wonderful experience with First Team years ago when we purchased our rental property. Shirley and Gail were wonderful. This year when we decided to short sale our hope we went back to First Team and met with James Lee. What a wonderful experience. She was knowledgable, patient and kind during a very emotional and stressful time. He handled everything with the bank and kept us informed throughout the process. It was all handled quickly and professionally. If you are considering you options you want to contact James. He will explore all your options without any pressure. Thanks James

I have worked with James Lee at First Team for over 4 years and three houses. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and a nice realtor too. He was always available to answer questions and help me through several different processes from selling a home to renting. I appreciate his help over the years and I highly recommend him. I will be using him again in the future!

I was referred to art by a brother in law of mine who deals in real estate frequently.
the team at First Team S&S Helped me find and purchase my dream home in West Covina. The home was a short sale and they worked for months to get it approved.
After getting it at the right price for me, ART AND JAMES were given 15 days to close escrow by the bank. They closed in 14 days!
This entire experience was actually great. I never thought I would be ale to buy a home and have the process go so smooth, ESPECIALLY considering it was a short sale!
ART AND JAMES kept me in the loop the whole time and took the time to explain things I did not understand as a first time home buyer. I would highly recommend him and his services to anyone who is looking for a home in the Southern California area.
