Jim Beuerlein was professional, courteous, pleasant, prompt in returning calls and doing what he said he would do. He provided excellent information and service based on his many years in the industry and expertise. He has a thoughtful, no nonsense, professional, easy-going business approach to the entire sales process with good listening skills and without being arrogant or overbearing. He is forthright, yet sensitive to the situation and any concerns. He is thorough, and quickly follows through on every question or need. He was extremely helpful and took care of all issues, knowing that I was frustrated after not being able to sell the condo for over a year. He would say "I'll take care of it," and he did, which really helped relieve my stress levels. He is an experienced, capable, and serious business person who was always available with the answers to questions or concerns. Jim has a pleasant personality, and knows how to deal with people. As a senior, I was thankful for the Senior Citizen's discount for Angie's List members. It really helped and I appreciated it very much. I definitely recommend him and would call him again for real estate sales.

The second deal, I was selling a property. It was very problematic and Jim handled the problems in stride. He represented my interests well. So well that, on several occasions, when I would get frustrated with the buyers requests and demand something to be done, he had already made it happen. I am very pleased with the quality of Jim's service. He went beyond my expectations. He is thoughtful, pleasant, professional and a man of integrity. I say he is a man of integrity because I have found that if he tells you something... you can trust that it is true. That is very important when you are representing someone else's interest. He is not flashy or showy, just steadfast and honest. I recommend Jim highly and will use him again.

A very polite and trustworthy "Christian" individual that went way beyond in providing services to make us comfortable. Being retired military, we have bought/sold many homes - Jim was the best Realtor!

Jim conducted himself in the most professional manner imaginable in what turned out to be a rather complicated deal. At no time did it seem like he was lacking in any way the experience or foresight to navigate the evolving complexities of our transaction. Quite the contrary in fact, he was out in front of the issues and had plans and solutions for any number of possible outcomes. I rested well knowing that he was my capable and honest broker and that if our deal was to be a success, that Jim had all matters well in hand. I have used many real estate professionals in my career and Jim's performance gave me the confidence to focus on the other issues in my life and business making our relationship one of ease and complete trust. Looking forward to partnering with Jim again in the near future.

We had the lot FSBO initially, but decided to go with an agent, and decided on this one based on Angies list. He was friendly enough but not too encouraging about how long it would take to sell. The lot sold in 3 days to someone we had made initial contact with, a builder who was also acting as real estate agent ( to be paid 3%) and the people he was to build a house for. Although we had made initial contact with the buyer no offer of a reduction in fees was offered. In negotiating the contract he had us paying all the closing costs, which he said was standard for the area. He also insisted that we use the title company based in his office. I called 3 times to make sure things were on track, during the two months before closing. 3 days before closing his secty called to get our mortgage info and wiring instructions, she said it would be a "split closing" with the buyers closing separately, which made me nervous but I accepted that all would go normally. The HUD statement we received the day before closing didn't even have the mortgage payoff amount on it. When I called they said it was a preliminary statement. We were told the buyers had already signed their part, and on the day of the closing we signed ours. After we signed we were told they had not received all the money from the buyers, but by noon it would be wired into our account. By the end of the day, no money had been received despite multiple calls to the title co. I called Mr Beuerlein and he said he knew nothing about it. He had his secty call back to say that the builder had money being wired from 2 divisions, and one had come in but not the other, and that it would be Monday morning before it was straightened out. He didn't even call me back personally. It is now Monday morning and we still don't have our money, and are simply hoping that the buyer will pay their part. The whole deal was handled poorly, we felt that our property wasn't worth his time, and that he has failed to represent us, which is what we paid him for, isn't it?
If you have a million dollar home, maybe you will get better treatment, but we felt that he and the title company in his office did a very poor job, and were unprepared. I never would have signed anything had I known the buyers funds were not already being held by the title company, especially since they signed their papers the day before. The title company reassured me they won't release the paperwork until the funds have been wired, but after the haphazard way things have been done so far, my confidence is very poor. I am expected to call back again, for the 6th or seventh time, to see if it has been done. Mr Beuerlein has evidently moved on.
Response from Jim Beuerlein
"I met with the sellers prior to listing their lot, they complained that while they had the property listed FSBO that they had been unable to get anyone on contract for the property. After careful analysis as to value of the property and preparation of a marketing plan the sellers decided to have me market their property. A listing agreement was prepared and signed by the sellers. I went to work and within three days we had an offer well below asking price, I was able to negotiate the buyers up to full price and the buyers and sellers signed the purchase agreement. (at no time was there any mention by the sellers of renegotiating the commission rate, 50% of which was paid to the buyers agent). I checked the closing statement while writing this response and both buyer and sellers paid their respective closing costs as was stated in the purchase agreement and on the closing statement. The seller did pay for title insurance, while it is a negotiable charge, it is customary sellers expense in Williamson county. I think it is important to mention I negotiated the purchase price up more than 5 times the cost of the title insurance. A preliminary HUD was generated so that the seller could see their fees. It is normal to have corrections to this HUD. In this case, the pay-offs had not been received but the other seller expenses would be listed so that any corrections could be made. There are generally revisions during the preliminary HUD stage. The final HUD was approved by all. The buyer signed their papers and closed. The seller signed their papers and closed. However, the money had not been received at the time of signing (which is not unusual because of timing) and the title company assured everyone, as they always do, that the paperwork would not be released until confirmation of funds were received. When we realized there was a problem with the funding , we contacted the buyer’s agent who was very surprised to know there had been an issue with the wire. He immediately contacted his Corporate office (the purchaser a large reputable national building firm) to track the wire. The agent (employed by the builder) told us this had never happened before and he would get it straightened out as soon as possible. I was very much “in the loop” and have a licensed assistant who helps me with my closings. She is office-based and knowledgeable on resolving issues. We both worked on this for a quick resolution. We are always disappointed when a transaction doesn’t go as smoothly as we like, especially when it is out of our control. Unfortunately, each real estate transaction is different and is never “perfect”. The value we bring to our clients is the knowledge and resources we have to correct a problem when it arises. In the end the seller rec'd 100% of all funds due them albeit 3 or 4 days later (over the weekend) than we all expected, but at no time was their property in jeopardy, the title co held the deed until funds were rec'd. There was obviously a snafu in the corporate office of the builder, but it was beyond the control of anyone involved in the closing. I am sure that not receiving your funds when you expect them is upsetting, and it was upsetting to me as well. My goal was and always is the best interest of those I represent be they buyers or sellers and the reviews of other clients bear that out. I hope one day you will understand and revise or remove this review. Blessings All the best. Jim"

GREAT! GREAT! GREAT EXPERIENCE! When I think of our experience with Jim Beuerlein, two words come to mind: INTEGRITY and PROFESSIONALISM. From the first day we met with Jim, he spoke honestly and candidly about the process of selling our house. We found him to be a man of his word. He did exactly what he said he would do. Jim does his homework well. He arrived at our first meeting with realtime information on the selling prices of comparable homes in our neighborhood. When discussing the asking price for our home, he was careful to make sure he understood our priorities (i.e., did we want to set a price at the very top of the tier, to get the highest possible dollar but possibly wait a little longer to sell the house? Or did we want to price competitively, at a very good price, and sell quickly?). After looking at our home, Jim gave us excellent advice on exactly what we needed to do and NOT do in order to sell the house for the best value. He knew exactly what buyers were looking for in our area. Not only that, when we asked him for suggestions on contractors to use to do some of the updating work, he gave us the names of a couple of reputable companies who do excellent work. He was familiar with these contractors, and he was very comfortable and confident in his recommendation. He was right on target. We went with one of his recommendations and we had excellent work done on our home with no surprise charges, etc. We received a contract on the house immediately after it began showing. There were some minor requests from the house inspection from the buyers, and once again, Jim worked with our contractor to immediately address those small items. In fact, from the moment that we signed our contract with Jim to sell our house, we turned it over to him and he managed the process from beginning to end. We found Jim Beuerlein to be a true professional and a man of impeccable integrity. I had never met Jim prior to this time. I called him after reading his reviews on Angie's List. Besides being greatly indebted to him for all he did for us in the selling of our house, I now count him also as a friend. I heartily recommend him to anyone selling a property in the Brentwood TN area.

Jim provided excellent resources including stellar pictures of the property, a website dedicated only to our property, excellent numbers of viewings and follow up. He sold our house for us in 2 weeks after being on the market for 9 months with another realtor.

Jim is extremely knowledgeable having been in the real estate game for over 30 years. When so much is on the line, money wise, one of the most important attributes in a realtor is knowledge not to mention punctuality and communication. Jim responded to my every question, and believe me when I tell you I had many, with an answer in extremely quick fashion using text messaging. He patiently showed us 14 listings and on every occasion he was always on time. Jim is a true professional, not to mention just a good guy. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone who needs a realtor.

It all went quite well. Jim, and his assistant, Marilyn, were always prompt in their communications and prompt to respond if I had inquiries. There were a number of issues the inspector found. They advised us with outstanding professional advice and then negotiated with the seller's agent an amount to come off the sales price for the needed repairs. They then called the needed contractors, scheduled them, met them at the site to get them in the house, etc. This alleviated stress and worry on me. They certainly earned their commission and then some. Their earned commission was paid by the seller. I didn't pay them anything. Obviously, It was well worth the service they provided--for me, of course, but also for the seller as well.
Jim, has been in the real estate profession for many, many years. He is not a novice! He is a true pro! To be in the business for as long as he has speaks to the fact that he has been quite successful. He has a laid-back personality that is not overbearing. But yet, he stays on top of things, communicates quickly, has the professional knowledge of what is good and what is not. I highly recommend him and certainly without hesitation would use him again when the need arises.

I began the process of selling my house by looking on Angie's List. Jim Beuerlein stood out from all the rest as the best agent so I went ahead and signed him up to sell the house. I was out of state for the sale and was expecting many long trips back and forth between states until the house closed. But as it turned out I didn't have to make any trips. Jim took care of everything that came up while the house was on the market and even after it was sold waiting to close. Besides just showing the house, he also did other things that were most helpful.
His office was not in Murfreesboro but in Brentwood so it took effort and time for him to generally check out the house from time to time and also look into any concerns I had. And after the house was sold and the house inspector found problems that needed attention, Jim took care of that too. He lined up the contractors (reasonably priced) and got everything done in time for closing. I didn't even have to talk to any of the contractors. From my point of view the repairs just magically happened and the house was sold.
If I had another house near Brentwood to buy or sell I would call Jim Beuerlein..

Jim developed a marketing plan for our unique piece of property. He posted a web site dedicated to our house and surrounding acreage that featured scores of photographs taken by a professional photographer. Jim stayed in contact with us keeping us advised of the details needed to get the deal done. He is the consummate professional with an easy going manner that made a delight to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend without reservation and would gladly use his services again.

We met Jim at a house he was showing. We had planned to go with a different realtor, but we were so impressed with Jim that we decided to switch! He is incredibly knowledgeable and very trustworthy. He was there with us every step of the way. He's a straight shooter with a heart of gold. We love our house!

Jim was great! He started off with a marketing plan to ensure my house was being advertised in the best way possible. He then looked at the housing inventories in the metro area, city, zip code, and neighborhood to get a feeling of how well properties are selling. After looking at similar properties in the area he was able to determine a very good sales price for my home. In just under 2 weeks of my house being listed l accepted an offer less than 2% from my listing price! Thanks Jim!

Jim came out and gave us an approximate sales price for out house, based
on comparabes. Very professionally presented. Explained his marketing
plan for the property and presented us with an excellent report and
proposal for out consideration. He actually put quite a lot of effort
into his presentation even though he understood that any listing was
contingent on the possibility of a job transfer and potential move. We
will in all probability use Jim when and if we decide a sale of our
house is appropriate. He is very professional and direct is his
assessments.

The whole process went quite well. We put in a bid on the first home and it was accepted right away. The house was inspected
and some major flaws were found but the seller would not agree to fix any of the flaws so we withdrew our bid and moved on to
look at other homes. Jim was able to get us in to look at a home that was almost completed and we really liked it so we agreed
to buy it. Had a little trouble with the mortgage company but that was all. Jim even made signing a mortgage enjoyable!

Our agent walked us through every step of the process with ease. He was available at any given time. He went above and beyond what it takes to get our house sold. I would use him again if I were going to buy or sell another house and I have recommended him to others who are in need of a real estate agent.
