Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

 

"James “Jim” McConnell has represented me on two residential property sales during a very depressed housing market. He was able to sell both properties in a very reasonable timeframe. During our professional association, Jim provided me with valuable suggestions on real estate presentation, needed enhancements to my properties, and innovative marketing techniques. He took the interest in my properties as if it were his own. Jim uses a very personalized approach to real estate sales. He has a unique talent of being able to match buyer’s and seller’s desires to make a successful transition from negotiation to signed contract. At the end of the day, I knew that Jim had done everything possible to manage and sell my real estate. "

"I wanted you to know that Jim McConnell has gone above and beyond our expectations again. We were at an impasse buying our house after the final walk through on Tuesday. Jim made the sale happen even though we were ready to walk away from the deal. Over a year ago we had our house in Treasure Island listed with the Number One Century 21 realtor for 8 months. After very little action we switched to Jim. He used his creativity and negotiating skills and we had the house sold in 3 months. It was not a hot selling market then as it is today. We would highly recommend Jim to anyone and truly appreciate all his efforts on our behalf. S & C S. "
