"I had a wonderful experience working with James. His local knowledge of Malibu is extensive from a long time of working and living in the area. He was usually reachable and if not responded very quickly. He helped my try to get a few places that got away with zealous bidders but ultimately he found the right empty lot and we acted quickly after a price reduction and were able to close the deal. Thank you James."
"We have bought and sold homes with James Respondek and the experience was never short of superb. He knew the neighborhoods and he knew the reality of the market. He maximized the value of our home when we sold and found us exactly what we wanted at the price we wanted when we jumped back in. Very chill. Very competent. Wouldn't do it without him."
"James was recommended to us by one of his former clients. We had already picked out several holes we liked in the Palisades area and not only did James bring some additional options to the table (we ultimately settled on the 1st house we had seen), his experience in the Palisades area gave us the confidence of what we were getting ourselves into. Never pushy. Not driven towards a close, but rather what was best for us. He also dealt with an insane seller for us so we didn’t have to. Awesome experience and have definitely recommended James to others and will use him again if we ever sell or buy in this area."
"I am the business manager for a well known actress. James did an excellent job of selling her Rustic Canyon home. He aggressively marketed the property and gave us excellent personal service. We look forward to doing business with James again.
