“James and his group were awesome. We were moving to Richmond with no local knowledge at all, and James made the process as easy as it could have been. We gave him a list of our priorities, and he took that list and gave came up with a list of potential candidates. We did not find anything on the first weekend or even the second that was a homer … un (we saw 40 houses with him in 2 weekends but none were quite "it"), and James was not deterred or pushy at all and even had the idea to go back to his office quickly to adjust come criteria before we had to leave town. We ended up finding the house that we both knew immediately was "it" in that last group, and if it would not have been for James and his tenaciousness we would have never found it. James and his entire group also made the negotiation and subsequent post contract processes a breeze, and went out of his way to go to bat for us on several occasions. I have bought and sold several houses in my career, and I can say without a doubt that James and his group made the entire process as fun and painless as possible.” Read More ▾

“James Strum was beyond excellent to work with! I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a Realtor who really gets involved with his clients and finds them exactly what they are looking for! This was my first home purchase and he was extremely responsive to all of my 10 million questions at all hours of the day and night, he has extens … ive knowledge of the area, and he fought extremely hard for six months to get my short sale to closing when most Realtors would have thrown in the towel. he dealt with multiple lien holders and he really went above and beyond his job description to get me what I wanted. He really educates you on the entire home buying process and in the end makes you feel a lot more comfortable with it all. Not only did I find the best Realtor, but I gained a great friend in the process! There is a reason he is #1 with Long and Foster for 2012 and 2013! Thanks James” Read More ▾

“We were introduced to Mr. Strum by a relative who had glowing praises for his services in what was a very trying time for us. Facing the need to move my mother and close a house in a town we no longer live was a daunting task. James certainly know how to make a good impression, meeting us on what turned out to be our first trip to Richmond to st … art disassembling the home. James offered honest advice on how to prepare the home for sale. Frankly, I would have been pleased with this performance, but his responsiveness was only the beginning. James connected us with all the service providers we needed to interact to paint, clean up, fix a failing heat pump at the lowest cost and complete necessary electrical and plumbing issues to close the sale. All this and he also kept me in the loop 100% of the time by email, phone and text messages. If you need a realtor will support you in a sale or a purchase, I sincerely believe James Strum is the agent you want to work with” Read More ▾

“Bottom Line: If you don't go with James, your doing yourself a disservice. My wife and I were very happy with the service James Strum provided in the recent sale of my home in Richmond's Northside (Rosedale). He was able to sell a home I had owned for almost 10 years and hadn't lived in for 7 years. He was there for me when I returned from an … Iraq deployment in 2009 and helped me find a tenant to occupy the home when it got slow. Then when the opportunity came to sell, when it was financially right for me, he was there to market, price, advise, help, befriend, negotiate, and sell the home. James is a class act, honest, a man of integrity, and, in my opinion one of Richmond's finest real estate agents. He's not only served me, but my closest family members, and his service has transformed into friendship. I can honestly say there is no other agent in Richmond that I will ever do a real estate transaction with unless their name is James Strum. Please consider this to be a frank and honest assessment of a great agent; you need not look elsewhere for a greater professional for this industry.” Read More ▾
