James was professional, helpful, and quick to respond. He helped us find our dream home faster than we ever thought possible. His keen eye for detail and understanding of our needs were commendable. We are very happy with our purchase!
James explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from the making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker and the coop board. This made it really easy to move into our new home.

James is very personable and a great agent! He was very knowledgeable regarding items to watch out for when house hunting. Now that we have purchased our home, he is extremely helpful with putting us in touch with handymen. This was needed for us to get our needed shelves and wires ready and our house turned into our home!

James was so helpful and supportive as my fiance and I bought our first house. He was honest about location, safety, and value, and he always did his best to ensure the smoothest possible experience. He was available any time of day to text, email, or call us back with the information we needed. From the time we started looking for houses to close, James was professional but also felt like a friend. He and his wife even welcomed a baby a few days before our closing, and it never affected his attention to our home buying process. We'd recommend him to anyone in the area, he really is incredible!

James Banks is outstanding. He helped immensely in every facet of the home-buying process. Great knowledge of real estate, very professional, and easy to communicate with. I can’t imagine using another real estate agent. If you’re looking for a real estate agent to get the job done smoothly, James is your man.

As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about getting everything done, but James guided me every step of the way. He was very accessible, quickly answering all of my questions day or night, weekday or weekend, and always being proactive about keeping me in the loop.
Because I was in the last few months of an apartment lease, I had a very aggressive goal for closing on a home that I wasn't optimistic about meeting, but James found me a great place in record time and negotiated a price I was very happy with, despite the limitations of the market. I couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one I got with James. He comes highly recommended.

Great Realtor. Honest and helpful.
He really did a great job of making sure things got done properly, and handled the negotiations like a boss.
James was fantastic. He was always prompt when I wanted to view a property and if I had questions he had the answer or found the answer. When I decided to put in an offer he gave me suggestions that ultimately got me under contract. As things progressed, he was available any time I had questions or concerns and he worked hard to make things go right. Thanks to James I have a new home that I got a good deal on. I don't consider James to be just my real estate agent but a friend.

Excellent service. Available practically 24/7 to answer any question and doubts about the process. Clear technical knowledge about the house and area and very helpful comments.
Simply the best! Sold the home on the first day.
I contacted Mr. James after many unsuccessful offerrs with my old realtor. I got the house the next day because of Mr. James. On top he was there every step of the way and most of the time he done more than what a realtor will do. A great example of how a friendly, professional and helpful Realtor should be.
A++++++ Rating for him.

James was very professional and knowledgeable. He came to us with recent comps to price our property correctly. James was very understanding given our circumstances with the rental property we were selling. We highly recommend James to anyone looking to sell or buy!
I enjoyed a remarkable buying experience with James as my agent...40 days after randomly calling James, I closed on the perfect home in the most ideal location. In a market where multiple offers are made on day 1, I was very fortunate to get my home at asking price...As a closing gift, James paid a professional cleaner to thoroughly clean my home at great cost. James is honest and a great guy. I strongly recommend him.

James made the dreaded experience an EASY and SUCCESSFUL one!! James Banks is easy to work with, attentive to detail, and driven to get the property sold . Sue and Mije Ward
Sold the home in 1 day. Fast to respond and professional. We'll be recommending him to everyone we know!
Probably the best real estate agent in the RTP area
James is amazing at providing courteous and prompt customer service! I would highly recommend him!
James' expertise got us 3 full price or above offers within the first week of being on the market. What more could a seller ask for? He's also very personable, always responds to emails/texts/ phone quickly, and is an expert in the Raleigh market.

James was great! Incredibly responsive and always willing and flexible with our schedule.
James remained patient with us as we continued on our search for close to a year. When the time came and we found our house, our interests were always James' first priority. There is no doubt that we were in a better negotiation position because of James and secured our ideal home with a great deal. I would recommend James to anyone in the market to purchase a home.

I had to move in my house ASAP & James made sure he expressed that to the sellers. I would recommend James to any friends, or family looking to purchase a home in the NC area.
