We just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how very much we love our new home and neighborhood and feel we got a terrific deal due to your efforts. When we first tried to sell our home under a different Realtor, we were unable to do so; nor was the agent able to locate us the home we wanted to buy. We were very specific about our needs in that it had to meet not only our budget needs, but our aesthetic ones as well. We did not want to feel "fenced in", and our new home has a magnificent view. It is even more beautiful than I thought we could manage financially, but you made such a good deal on it, we are now the proud owners. What was probably the most amazing is how fast you were able to sell our old house. The video you made was terrific. Each step of the way you helped us and never tired of our many questions. It is no wonder that we recommended you to our daughter and son-in-law when they bought their first home. Our family is certainly a more than satisfied customer who would love to recommend you to anyone who wants fast, honest, and caring service. You are the tops. You have given us many laughs along the way, and overall, have made this a rewarding experience. We would recommend you to anyone. Thanks again. We wish you all the continued success you deserve

If you are looking to buy or sell a home and want an honest, trustworthy individual who upholds an integrity level second to none then the person to call is Jim Kazakoff. Jim has proven himself over and over again as a top-rate individual who only looks out for the best interest of those whom most realtors call clients but whom Jim calls friends. Jim was willing to work with a schedule that was convenient for our family whether it had to be early morning or late into the night. Jim has always been there for us no matter the time. Jim made buying our first home seem to be an easy task. That was due to the fact that Jim did a lot of the work behind the scenes. He helped us also find a mortgage company that assisted us in making the dream of owning our first home come true. Jim was by our side through the entire process giving us valuable advice and after all the paperwork was signed, sealed, and dated he could have easily said goodbye but this is where he went above and beyond what he had to do for us. Jim helped us find a painter on short notice to paint the interior of our home before we moved in. Then as a surprise Jim had our lawn mowed for us. After moving in, our water heater went out and the first person we called was Jim. He didn't have to help us but he directed us to the right people that solved our problem. Throughout the year Jim kept in touch by greeting cards on special occasions, by receiving his monthly newsletter, e-mails, and he dropped by the house at the holidays just to say hello. Those type of small acts of kindness go a long way in our book. Then just when things were finally getting settled we found out that we had to transfer, and we turned to Jim to help us sell our home. Again, Jim stepped up and made the process seem so easy, and he maintained a calm about himself that settled our minds in a time when things seemed to be going crazy. Jim set all the appointments for us at our convenience and continued to reassure us that everything was going to be okay. We never felt that Jim was put out with our many questions or comments. He gave us up-front, honest advice that allowed us to make the best decisions for our family. We can't say enough about Jim Kazakoff and how he treats the people he works for. Jim has a strong professional work ethic and shows genuine concern for our family and our needs. We thank God for Jim Kazakoff and for all he has done for us over and over again. GOD BLESS JIM KAZAKOFF! Hopefully, we will be back to the area again and the first person we call will be Jim Kazakoff

We TRULY, TRULY love our new home. We cannot thank you enough for all you did to help us sell our previous home, then find our perfect home. We have a couple of friends who are beginning to talk about buying a home. We will continue to sing your praises!!! Please drop by anytime you find yourself out our way!! We were talking to a friend who asked about our experiences with different realtors and thought you'd like to know what we told him. BTW, you are referred to as agent #3... We have had experience working with 3 different agents. Bottom line, 2 were great, one was good. All 3 had qualities that were beneficial with our decision process. The first agent we worked with was great. We were first-time homebuyers and he was very thorough in helping understand the entire process, got us with the right people and basically taught us what to look for and what to stay away from in choosing a home. When we asked his opinion, he gave it to us as if he was in our shoes. The 2nd agent was chosen, due to the first agent retiring. Agent #2 was helpful in getting us ready to sell the house we lived in. We were building and had already chosen the house so she was no value on the other side. There were key things she missed in getting the house sold, not a lot of followup with prospects and when the house didn't move quickly, her solution was to just drop the price. We ended up pulling the house off of the market - the main reason being the agent. The 3rd agent was incredibly professional. He had his own professional website, and after we hired him, he did a lot of marketing of the house we were selling. He was brutally honest on things we needed to do to get the house ready to sell, whereas Agent #2 was hoping they would slide by. Agent #3 provided a contractor to make the necessary changes to get the house ready to sell. With his recommendations and aggresive marketing and follow up, he had the house sold at a price that was what we wanted to get. We were unsure of the house and area we wanted to move to. Agent #3 spent many days and evenings showing us properties. He forced us to look at things for us to make an objective decision. What sets Agent#3 apart form the others is the followup after the process. He puts out a monthly newsletter to keep all of his customers up to speed. He has a yearly get-together at a restaurant for a FREE meal as a thanks for being a loyal customer. Agent #3 has mastered pre-sales and post-sales

Buying and selling a home at the same time can be pretty traumatic at times, unless your realtor is Jim Kazakoff, ... really. Jim, the list of reasons why I will, and have, recommended your services is long. Although the outcome is pretty hard to argue with - sell at market, buy below market - it was your approach to marketing, knowledge of the market, attention to detail, advice and patience during the process that made the experience bearable, and even... occasionally... enjoyable.

We put our house on the market and with blind faith moved back to our home state of California to start a new life. Eight months and three realtors later, our house STILL had not sold. Fortunately, we found Jim and within a few months, he got our house sold. He worked diligently for us during the entire listing, and kept us informed all the way through (and believe us...by this time, Kim was a wreck and needed constant reassurance). His professionalism and courtesy to us was highly commendable. We would recommend him to all of our friends and associates! Thanks, Jim!

After having my home on the market for a year, I was getting frustrated especially with so much activity. But the deals always seemed to fall apart at the end and this is when I met Jim. Shortly after selling my home, I realized that Jim has a special understanding in the art of selling a home. With his ability to read people and their circumstances, he seems to see results before they happen. I would recommend his services to anyone, especially if you are having a difficult time

I can assure anyone that I am very happy with the professionalism and honesty of Mr. Kazakoff. Without a doubt I recommend him as a very outstanding realtor. The business transaction with Mr. Kazakoff has created a wonderful friendship; even as the years have passed he still keeps in touch with me. He has had wonderful family events every so often with all his clients past, present, and future. He has created a community of neighbors that I am very much pleased to be a part of. I feel lucky to be able to have a friend to help me in the future if I ever decided to sell my home or buy a new one. I highly recommend Jim Kazakoff not only as a realtor, but also as a friend.

Jim was a great help to us and he never gave up on finding the perfect house for us. He took us to many different places and we must have worn him out; but he did an excellent job in helping us. We find Jim to be one of the top realtors and he really cares for his buyers. We have never received better treatment from any other realtor. I myself did not even see our new house until late July and I am very proud of my parents' choice and am very thankful to you for all the help you gave my parents. I know that many people in the past gave up on my parents because of the language barrier or because they thought that my parents were just wasting their time. So I must tell you, "Thank you! " for helping my parents. Also, my dad says thanks for helping him set up the phone and other utilities. I'm sure no other realtor would've put that much effort into the purchase of a house.

As first-time home buyers, my wife and I had many, many questions. Jim held our hands through the entire process, step by step. He took the time to explain who, how, why, etc. all the way home. It was a relatively painless experience because of the time and attention that he gave us. He took pictures, made recommendations on everything from window guys, to inspectors, etc. Last night, he just explained how our alarm system works! He has focused on removing the little challenges that can/will otherwise make the home buying process a nightmare. He was/is always trying to meet our needs 100%. He was/is always available. We love our home, and we'd just like to say, "Thank you, Jim!"
