I had the best experience with my realtor Craig Pollard. His attention to detail was inspectable! He answered all of my calls and text messages within seconds. Any questions that I had he answered efficiently and timely. I had an issue with getting a HOA approval via FHA, he did his homework and was able to point out discrepancies in the condo approval survey, he was able to have all issues rectified and got me approved! He goes over and beyond for his clients. If you are looking for a realtor that will give you VIP treatment, he's your man! Thank you so much Jim Shaffer and Associates, I am so happy with my new condo! I cannot forget about my closing coordinator Linnea Hayes!! She was fantastic! Any and all of my questions were answered within minutes. She emailed and texted me every step of the way. She made sure that my homebuying process was smooth and efficient! I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for all that you do!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Brendan Davis and Will Robinson of Jim Shaffer and Associates. They were extremely professional and helped us find and close on our first home in exactly 3 months. Being that this was our first home, we were new to the home searching/buying process. Brendan and Will quickly gained our trust and confidence in them throughout the journey. Their expertise and guidance along the way, was very comforting to us. We will gladly recommend JSA, especially Brendan and Will, to anybody we know buying or selling a home in the future.

Jim Shaffer and Associates helped us to sell a home in Ferndale and buy a home in Huntington Woods. They were excellent in selling our home -- pricing it perfectly for the market. We accepted an offer for over asking price the first day! The process for selling was smooth and painless. Buying a new home in the crazy spring and early summer market proved to be challenging, but Kara and Colleen persevered in showing us home after home after home. When we found a home we loved after several months, Kara negotiated hard and helped advise us how to make our bid very attractive with multiple bids on the table. Our bid was chosen and we now own the home of our dreams! Thank you to the expertise of the Jim Shaffer team. Buying and selling a home is disruptive and crazy, but they helped make the process as smooth and painless as possible.

John Mahar with Jim Shaffer and Associates sold my house in 3 days with an offer OVER asking price. The process was seamless, stress-free, and I felt as if I was working with family from the first day. I was so happy with my agent I signed him for not just the selling of my current home, but the purchase of my new home. I've referred him to my neighbors who are just beginning the process and I have FULL CONFIDENCE that they will be in great hands!

I did not think we would ever be able to sell our house in Oak Park. However, we had heavy traffic come through, the pictures looked fantastic in the listing and we sold our house in a matter of months for a great price. The team, including Michelle, helped us shop for a new house and gave us their professional advice along the way. They knew things to look for in a house that could cause trouble and helped steer us away from houses that had visible issues. We were able to find our dream home in Clarkston and the team worked around the clock it seemed to make this a smooth transition for us. While selling and buying a home IS stressful, this team helped relieve that stress and get us exactly what we needed in a short amount of time. i will be forever grateful!!

Jim Shaffer's Realtor John Mahar worked tirelessly with me to find me a great house. His knowledge, responsiveness, communication and tenacity were of the highest quality. John did everything he could to not only help me find a great house that met all of my needs, but taught me a lot about home construction, real estate, and more that I would need to know as I purchased my first house. I ask a LOT of questions and John was patient and thorough in answering all of them. I have recommended John Mahar to several friends and will continue to use him as my real estate professional in Michigan. His assistant Amy Greenwood was also a pleasure to work with! I loved working with them and recommend them highly.

Mark S was a great help in everything. I am a first time buyer and he walk me through the whole process. In this market it was very hard to be chosen when our offer had a low deposit but Mark and Amy and this team really help me to show that we were the right people to buy this home. We got a great house and this team just went above and beyond for us and are forever grateful.

Within hours of our house being listed on the market we immediately had showing appointments scheduled for the same day. The scheduling app was convenient and helped us to keep track of our upcoming appointments and allowed potential buyers to leave us immediate feedback. The staff was there guiding us along the way!

Jim Schafer and one of his associates worked as both the buying and selling agent for the property.  Jim Schafer both personally and with his team was unable to manage both the buying and selling standpoint from the transaction, ignored key dates (like the closing date and date of transfer) and further ignored addressing an issue when the seller improperly took property from the home discovered after the transaction.  Ultimately after much "back and forth" the old property owner cooperated and was perplexed by Jim and his team - unable to handle such a minor controversy.  If you plan to work with Jim--be sure to hire an attorney to work with him where he feels forced to apply some level of respect and common sense to simple items.

Excellent! Jim and Drew provided top notch service. They were responsive and made sure that I felt comfortable during the entire process. They actually got my house sold in 6 days and made the process totally seamless. I couldn't recommend a company more highly. All of the tools they have made the process great.

Jim provided a crisp list of exactly what to do to prep our home for sale and also honest recommendations for what to do for the showings. Excellent follow through by his staff for the closing.

He and his associate Kara Edwards were knowledgeable, punctual, and patient.  They quickly and easily addressed any concerns we had about the selling process.  Jim and Kara were very helpful in teaching what we needed to do to prepare the house for showings.  The ways they used technology to streamline the process was amazing.  They worked hard to make everything as easy as possible with our busy schedules.

I would recommend them hands down for real estate services.

Tony Tran was my agent and Amy Greenwood was my closing coordinator. Tony went above and beyond to help me find the home of my dreams. He was very good at offer strategy and was very knowledgeable about the whole process of buying a home. Anything I asked him he was more than happy to do for me. Amy was wonderful and helped me through the process of closing on my home loan. She was kind and answered any questions I had along the way. Jim Shaffer and his team I could not recommend more for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Go with Jim Shaffer's team - you will be SO happy you did!!

From the beginning of the process when the sellers' agent came to my house to discuss the entire process to the end of the process at closing on the sale of my house I was very impressed with the service at JSA. I was always in the loop of communication via e-mail/text/phone call depending on what was most convenient for me at the time. I picked a listing price and a date to "go live" and within 3 days of having my house on the market had multiple attractive offers. I ended up selling my house for more than Iisted/expected it to sell for which was great and everything was very smooth and stress-free. I would recommend Jim to anyone selling a house in the areas he services! Thanks Jim and team!

We were very impressed by Jim's office's work. I would highly recommend Kara Edwards as a buying agent. We also had a great experience with Amy Greenwood, our closing coordinator. Both were very responsive and helpful in a process we knew nothing about. Kara got us into the house we wanted to see the same day I called her. And we made an offer on it that night! There is a $495 fee a buyer must pay on top of the commission they receive on the price of the house, which seemed a little excessive. But I think most agencies have this type of fee. And I would much rather have a professional dealing with all the legality and processes of buying a house than just myself. I would definitely recommend their office and will use them in the future.

It was a good experience. We never felt neglected or abandoned by our agent. They really did whatever it took to sell our house.

Jim met with us twice before listing our home.  The process to list was smooth and painless.  We had over 50 appointments to view our house within 3 days of listing which doesn't include the open house traffic.  When all was said and done, we had 22 offers.  Jim really does a great job and his entire office was very helpful.  We highly recommend them!
