James Kontopodias - Keller Williams Real Estate 120 West Main Street, Clinton, NJ 08809

"This is my second time purchasing with Jim and will continue to work with him in the future. Jim's market knowledge, experience, and creativity in putting together an offer has allowed me to get my offer accepted in a tough buyer's market. Jim's a true fiduciary who always looks out for his client's interest above his own and has done so on numerous homes that I've viewed with him. He has discovered issues on homes I wanted to make offers on and has always guided me right. I've always felt that he was 100% on my side and that he provided an objective opinion on a home which I appreciated. He's very responsive so I always know he's always there for any question, big or small, and can count on him as a sounding board for any thoughts I have with third parties such as lenders, inspectors, etc. Trust is not an easy thing to come by in business, but I can say I trust Jim with any real estate transaction."

"We have nothing but good things to say about our realtor, Jim Kontopodias. He was highly recommended by our daughter and son-in law because of his methodical and non-aggressive approach. We began working with him in the Summer of 2022 to purchase a new home as part of our downsizing efforts after our children had grown and moved out. Jim offered his valued advice as we worked through the process of narrowing down our new home location preferences and house requirements. He didn’t rush us as we continued to refine our wish lists. His keen eye and knowledge of home construction allowed us to spot potential issues prior to making any decisions to purchase. That saved us a lot of time and angst. Jim also assisted us in preparing our existing home for sale. This included which areas to focus on, how to market the home properly and price it correctly. His efforts paid off handsomely for us with a half dozen excellent offers received within the first few days of listing. While under contract for both homes, Jim handled each potential obstacle calmly and professionally. He talked rationally about the best plan of action when we were feeling stressed and overwhelmed. He answered texts and emails promptly and worked well with our attorney and the other realtors. Moving will always be tiring and stressful, especially when downsizing and leaving the home where you raised your family. But Jim was a true ally in helping us though the process. We highly recommend Jim and would definitely use him again if the need arose."

"Jim is a top notch realtor. The best! He was able to help us find a home and close during a most difficult time. He worked relentlessly to get us what we wanted and needed. Jim is courteous, professional, and friendly. We would definitely use his services again, as well as recommend him to our friends and family."

"Jim is simply the best agent anyone could ask for. Both my parents and I have now enjoyed the benefit of his expertise in our home finding and purchasing process and he was amazing throughout. I started looking for a home almost a year ago, and Jim arranged so many showings for me during that time I've lost track of how many it was. He was always highly responsive, super professional, and had exceptional rapport with all the parties involved so he could find out what was happening behind the scenes. He's very upfront and honest but tactful at the same time. He was also an excellent resource for the additional folks you'll need to find, including inspectors, attorneys, contractors, etc. I would unhesitatingly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a home!"

"Since my husband and I hadn’t sold a home in many years, and didn’t have any friends who had either, I wasn’t sure who to choose to list our home. So I went online and quickly became overwhelmed with all of the choices. One realtor stood out each time I was searching – Jim Kontopodias. I noticed that had quite a few positive reviews and I really liked his personalized bio (he’s an animal lover!) so I gave him a call. He actually called me back within an hour and we set up a meeting so that he could answer any questions we had. He was so professional and personable we hired him on the spot! Immediately Jim got to work selling our home. From explaining the various strategies in setting a sell price to the guidance he provided from listing to closing, I could not have asked for a better realtor. After listing our home it sold to a well-qualified buyer, well over asking price, within hours. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and hard-working partner to sell your home, Jim is your guy."
