There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.

When we were getting ready to put our cabin up for sale, Jim was recommended to us by our neighbor. We were very happy with his services. He kept us informed as to what was going on, not only with our place but the ones around us. He advised us when we asked his opinion on a couple of offers and helped negotiate our final deal so we got exactly what we wanted. I know there are a lot of realtors out there, but I highly recommend Jim.

I highly recommend Jim Ware as your next real estate agent. My husband and I met Jim quite by chance in the parking lot of Chase International (which we thought would be open). He was just dropping by and asked if he could help us. He subsequently received a call cancelling an appointment shortly after the time we met. We were happy he could spend more time with us, and the relationship was established that day.

We initially made an offer on a different property that fell through after the property inspection. We came back to a property that Jim had initially selected because he thought we’d like it. He was right, we did like it even though it didn’t tick all the boxes on our list. He listened to what we said we liked and didn’t like. No house is perfect, but Jim correctly surmised that this home met more of our “must haves” than not. We ended up having Jim write an offer, respond to a counter offer and successfully ratify the contract on our new home.

Since my husband is a retired real estate broker, we were not easy clients and our loan created continual delays in our close of escrow. Jim was always professional and “no drama”. He made sure we were always in contract because of the delays and even had to deal with our being out of the country for 3 weeks prior to our close.

We are also new to the area so Jim has provided us with invaluable local information to make our relocation as smooth as possible.

The bottom line is that he helped us get into the house we wanted, and was professional, honest and ethical.

Jim is a true professional. He is kind, knowledgeable, patient and informed. He made our buying experience seem effortless. I highly recommend Jim if you are looking to buy anywhere in the Lake Tahoe area.

Jim Wire is a Professional but also he will be your friend and look out for you during the entire sale/buy transaction. He will do his best to leave no stone unturned. He will let you know what he thinks you should do and he is on your side through the entire process. Jim is your honest friend in while you are in the Escrow Trenches.

We were living in the San Francisco Bay Area and were interested in moving to a lesser congested area to enjoy our retirement. We chose the Tahoe Basin and outlying areas and not knowing who to contact we went online to search for a realtor. Jim Wire called us immediately and offered his services through Chase International. No other realtors called until 2-3- days later. Jim got right to work. We scheduled a weekend to look at properties and in the mean time Jim sent us lists and lists of properties to view online that were in our price range and in the area we wanted to live. We were able to view the home of our dreams and rushed up to see it before it was gone. We had never met Jim but when we did his personality and warm welcome exceeded our expectations. Jim put himself in our shoes and shared our joy and enthusiasm without tiring or wavering in his walk with us. We made an offer on the home the day we saw it and with Jim's help and relentless effort our offer was accepted that evening. Jim always walked his talk. He did what he said he would do and called or text when he said he would do so. If you are tired of frosted flakes and want a Tony the Tiger then Jim Wire is the man for the job. Thank you Jim for finding and helping the Taylor's get their dream home!

Jim was very helpful for me to help me complete my first home purchase. I was looking to complete a purchase fast and he really helped me get all the inspections done, list great property picks and responded in a timely manner on everything. I would definitely recommend to others!

We just closed on our second property in South Lake Tahoe, with Jim as our agent. As usual, the service was perfect from initially reaching out, to closing on our home. Jim was very responsive, and patient with us as we viewed many houses, all over town.

His experience and knowledge of the area is invaluable, and he is very transparent about various home types, construction, red flags, and local neighborhoods. We ended up with a home at our budget, in the neighborhood we wanted, that perfectly suits our needs both in the short term, and as a long term investment.

Once we made an offer, we were in a big rush to close as we had tenants moving into our other home. Jim's responsiveness, attention to detail, and guidance on various contingencies, inspections, and repairs really helped us to make informed decisions while expediting the close. We couldn't have done it without him, and look forward to working with him again in the future!

April, 2017

Jim helped us buy our condo in early 2017. We were first time buyers and Jim was very patient with us as we figured out what was going on. He is an excellent communicator and we never felt lost in what initially seemed like an intimidating process. Our vacation home will be used as a short term rent, which adds additional hurdles, but Jim was very transparent and honest about the process. We couldn't have done it without Jim and look forward to working with him in the future!

Jim was the agent we both bought the home from and sold if from. Excellent, easy-going, smart with lots of local contacts. Made both buying and selling easy and smooth. Understanding and extremely patient -- which is very important during the buying and selling processes!

Recently, we just purchased property in South Lake Tahoe and would like to just share our thoughts with the awesome experience we just had with Jim Wire as our Realtor. Although we have purchased properties before, we have never encountered such a level of excellence as we did with Jim. Jim kept us well apprised of each phase of the sale from start to finish. Jim’s knowledge and resourcefulness made this one of the easiest real estate transactions we’ve ever completed. We would highly recommend Jim to anyone who is interested in purchasing property in Lake Tahoe. We give him a 5 out of 5 stars.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jim Wire during the sale of our home in South Lake Tahoe. As agents ourselves, who live in the bay area, we appreciated his local real estate knowledge and immense professionalism. Our first escrow on the property was inexplicably difficult. Jim was supportive, positive and encouraging until we were able to find the perfect buyers. Jim's use of internet marketing was excellent. He was always available and energetic, and a good source for local contractors and inspectors.

He is the epitome of the fully informed real estate agent and a great guy.
