What Others Say About Jim Kelly
Jim went far beyond any expectations we had entering the sales market. Our previous experience with realtors left us with an unclear feeling about the industry. Jim restored our faith in intelligent, faithful and zealous service on behalf of realtors. Jim Kelly’s service stands out, unmatched by any other agent with whom we have come into contact. Without reservation we have the utmost faith, confidence and trust in Jim. A true gentleman, Jim embodies the professional spirit and strikes me as the only realtor I’ve met who views his priorities as service first, paycheck second. The value he added to our family is immeasurable—there is no way to know how much we could have lost over the years. Thanks to Jim, we don’t have to find out. Thanks again! We can’t say enough about what you’ve done. -- Jon & Sara Hall, Hanahan, SC
Jim went beyond the norm. He really cared about me and my goal to sell quickly in a tough market. He helped with many tasks for me and acted on my behalf since I was out of state and unable to take care of everything myself. Jim was wonderful. He kept me informed throughout the process. He was very helpful and careful to guide me to the eventual sale. At closing he was head and shoulders above the buyers agent. He is a Pro, first class in a field of also-rans. - - Robert Hurlbert, North Charleston, SC
Jim always looked out for our best interests and his integrity stands out. He is a true Professional, well spoken, knowledgeable and punctual and is always available to our needs. Jim was always open to our feedback and suggestions and acted on them promptly. -- J. DeBrum, Johns Island, SC
Jim's knowledge, honesty, trustworthiness and willingness to answer all our questions made us feel we could trust Jim and we believe it still. Jim clearly knew all aspects of selling homes. -- R. Dahlen, Murphy, NC
Thank you for a great job you did for me, for standing up for my rights and the extra time you took to make sure all the paperwork was in order, and not for one minute did you try to push properties at me that I didn't want. You acted more like a friend then a Realtor that I just met. Thank you for all you did for me and for looking out for my interests. M. Vieira, Long Branch, NJ
Jim took the time to understand our needs and began to send me properties that fit what we were looking for as they became available. Jim had a game plan and did not push me toward an option that I was not interested in. He was also a great resource for information about the area, employment opportunities, the navy base, what Charleston had to offer culturally, etc. And he offered FOLLOW-UP! This is very important in my book, and when someone says they are going to do something and they do it (and in a timely fashion,) I appreciate that. Jim was great about proactively finding us options and communicating the information to us quickly and getting us in there to see the properties. His service and high-level of professionalism was much appreciated. K. Malone, Goose Creek, SC
Your professionalism and accuracy about what to expect regarding the sale of our home stands out most in our mind! You were organized, knowledgeable and your swift progress of marketing our home proceeded rapidly without seeming rushed. Our experience was wonderful and we have recommended you to others! J & D Bennett, Hanahan, SC
We worked with Mr. Kelly for almost two years to find a home in the Low Country. This home is our retirement dream home. Mr. Kelly contacted us after we made an internet inquiry regarding retirement opportunities in Charleston. He was professional and did not push us in the early stages of our search. This is one reason we followed up with Mr. Kelly once we were ready to make the move. We gave him our criteria for a house and upon visiting Charleston several times he showed us all the neighborhoods and types of houses fitting our criteria. He answered all our questions and there was nothing he would not do to get the answers we needed to improve our decision making. Since we lived out of state, his efforts were beyond the call of duty. This is one of Mr. Kelly's strengths - serving clients who are not local.
Mr. Kelly helped us in formulating a contract based on contingency regarding a house we fell in love with once our present house went up for sale. When the contract was not accepted by the seller, Mr. Kelly kept us up to date as to the status of our dream house. He followed through on keeping us informed of the real estate market in the Charleston area as we waited for our house to sell. It was a stressful 9 months, but Mr. Kelly was very encouraging and always followed up with us once a week as to the status of our sale and to see if there was anything he could do for us to make the wait easier.
When our house finally sold and our dream house was still on the market, Mr. Kelly was swift in getting all the paper work prepared so we could make an offer. The ability to explain all the fine points of the paperwork involved in formulating contracts and contingency offers so that clients can fully understand the legalities of a document is difficult, but very easy for Jim. This is another one of his strengths. He helped with mortgage issues and insurance options. He even formulated a list of phone numbers of utilities and tax offices we needed to contact. He was always willing to help inspectors and insurance agents get access to the house. The only thing he did not do for us was to move our household goods!
We cannot say enough about Mr. Kelly's assistance. He told us when we first met him that he wanted us to make him our Realtor for life. We have certainly done that in addition to making him a good friend. My husband and I were touched when he said "Welcome home" upon informing him we had arrived in town the day before settlement.
We cannot think of one thing he could have done better. Thank you, Jim. N & P DiModica, Mt Pleasant, SC
We feel that your level of personal service was outstanding. You took all of our questions, comments and concerns to heart and always had an answer within a day. This was our first home buying experience and we feel that Jim Kelly made it very easy and enjoyable for us. He was always available to talk to us when we called, or called back within a reasonable time frame. Even though we didn’t have a lot of money to spend on our home we were never treated any less than someone who did. We absolutely recommend Jim Kelly and will absolutely use him again! J & B Long, Summerville, SC
Jim was excellent! His honesty was always present, his diligence and hard work showed and his suggestions to selling were key. His expertise and honesty will serve him well whatever he does. My experience has been amazing, even in a “down” market, he assured us that we were in good hands. God bless him! J & B Madey, Goose Creek, SC
Jim Kelly came across as trustworthy and someone we felt comfortable with. He was very informative and made us feel at ease. As first time home buyers, he was patience and honest. If a house didn’t seem right for us, he let us know. Our experience with Jim was awesome. We ended up with the perfect house for us! K Lower & C Rabbitt, Goose Creek, SC
Your total honesty and open personality showed you cared about where and what our needs were, you anticipated our thoughts. Overall there is no one person that I could have enjoyed more. You were more than there for our needs and went above and beyond the call of duty. The "Jim Kelly" experience is something we are glad to be part of. Our respect for your work and you, will remain in our minds forever! A & T Marino, Summerville, SC
Jim Kelly is very professional and has a great deal of integrity. He always tells us the truth, returns calls quickly, knows the real estate market and knows how to market houses to sell. Even though closings and real estate transactions are difficult, Jim always handles them in a professional and calm way. We never have to worry about the paperwork! He has the ability to make sure the closings go as smooth as possible with no mistakes. Thank you for all you have done for us. We don’t know what we would have done in the past couple of years if you had not been our agent. A lot of challenging things have come up but you always took care of them. You are AWESOME! J & G DeBrum, Johns Island, SC
