I cannot recommend James Peterson highly enough! James was extremely professional, thoughtful, and thorough in everything having to do with selling our home. Additionally, he brought a level of expertise and experience that was invaluable! His attention to detail ensured a timely and successful listing, sale, and final transaction. Throughout it all he patiently guided us all the messy business of preparation, going live, and the final process of accepting an offer. His advice turned out to be just what we needed as we sold our home of twenty years. I cant imagine having gone through this sale with anyone else and I strongly recommend James Peterson for all your Realtor needs regardless of whether youre buying or selling.

James was an amazing agent for our family. Whether you are buying or selling a house, he is genuinely the best agent I have ever worked with.When we were looking to buy, he enabled us to understand exactly what kind of house we would be getting. He would walk through and point out the vintage and quality of the workmanship in each home. He helped us realize that several homes had hidden costs that we would not have recognized without his expertise.He is dedicated to helping each person or family to find just what they were hoping for. He isn’t pushy, nor does he try to sell you on something you might not love, which for me was helpful when the market was so crazy and I was worried we wouldn’t find just what we were looking for.When we were selling our home, he came and walked through our house multiple times to help us plan out what work needed to be done in order to have our property looking it’s best by the time it was ready to sell. He helped us make sure we had everything lined up ahead of time so that there weren’t any last-minute surprises. He was dedicated to making sure that the property had great photography and he even advertised with flyers in our neighborhood a week or so before the house went live on the market.I would use him again next week if I could, but I’m entirely too tired from moving.

My wife and I had recommended James by a colleague of hers. We are so incredibly glad she did. One of the first things he told us was that he would not recommend a house he would ever not put his own family in and we believed him. James provided by FAR, the best real estate experience we have had, especially in the current incredibly hot market we were buying in.With every house we looked at James showed his expertise and eye for every detail of the house that we were viewing. James kept us level-headed and practical while also allowing us to dream. We trusted him fully. James knew his construction materials, the market, and most importantly what things were actually worth.When our offer was accepted, James went to bat for us and negotiated masterfully, and guided us flawlessly through the process. We cant recommend him enough.

James is an excellent realtor. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of home buying, from the structure to the paper process. He does not rush you and truly wants you to get the best house for you. He helped me look for almost a year (yes, I’m picky). In the end I got the perfect house for me. He was also my daughter and my son’s realtor and we all agree, he’s the best.

James helped us both buy a house and sell our old house. He is really a fantastic realtor. On the buying side, hes more knowledgeable about houses than anyone Ive ever met (including multiple other realtors). He goes the extra mile to help you know all the problems that might crop up with any potential home so you can make an informed choice. You know hes not in it just to make a quick sale because he will steer you away from many homes that might have problems you dont even recognize.On the selling side, James helped us get more money selling our home than I thought was possible (even in this hot market). Ive recommended James to multiple other friends and family and will continue to do so.

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I were a bit apprehensive about the house search. James set us up with realistic expectations and spent time with us to help refine what we wanted from a home. We really appreciated the emphasis that James places on learning and finding the right house for each person - not just one that works. He showed us several fixer houses that we were moderately interested in so that we could learn what was acceptable to us in a house.James was always responsive to texts and emails throughout the entire process. We were incredibly thankful for his expertise during the offer and closing process. His knowledge and experience definitely made everything easier and less scary for us.

James personifies professionalism and integrity. We are deeply grateful for his help navigating the challenges of both buying and selling. He saved us not only thousands of dollars but also countless hours of stress. You will sleep well at night knowing he has your best interest at heart.

Three years ago, James helped my daughter and son-in-law sell their home and purchase one in a new community. James had been recommended to them by a friend. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that recommendations are his primary source of new clients. He’s absolutely dedicated to providing the highest level of service.When I found myself needing to move, I knew I wanted to work with James, and I wasn’t disappointed. He gave me the information and guidance I needed to bring out the best in my home. He was on top of each “next step,” and kept me informed through the entire process. Without a doubt, he made all the difference in the success of selling my home. James is professional, thorough, honest, fair, and a pleasure to work with.He has my highest recommendation.

We highly recommend James Peterson to anyone who is looking for a Realtor who is very careful and thorough.  He personally met all inspectors to make sure the reports were complete and understandable to us as buyers.  He was willing to travel repeatedly several counties away from his office to show us properties. He is very knowledgeable about preparing a home for occupancy.  He truly wants his clients to be happy with the home they purchase. Mr. Peterson compassionately worked with us at a difficult time in our lives. When it became necessary for us to withdraw from our offer for personal reasons, he was most effective in helping us navigate this development in a professional manner.

James helped me buy a home that I love and steered me away from many potential mistakes. He is an exceptional real estate agent, extremely thorough and knowledgeable about potential future maintenance needs and re-sale value. He truly wants to put the right people in the right homes and goes the extra mile. You will not go wrong working with James.

James goes above and beyond for his clients. He is professional, trust worthy and incredibly knowledgeable. I will always recommend him and would never use another realtor.

We could not have asked for a better experience both selling our home and buying our new home! James is extremely knowledgeable about real estate, the area and excellent at negotiating. He is also honest and maintains the highest level of integrity! He gave us excellent advice on what to do to get our home ready to sell. He was patient and helped us maintain sight of our dreams while we looked for our next home. We felt like we had a partner every step of the way, someone who wasn’t just trying to sell us a house and make some money, but someone who wanted us to find the perfect home where we would be happy for years to come! Working with James made what could have been a very overwhelming and stressful experience into a much more enjoyable experience. I can not recommend James enough!

I remember being astounded after we visited our first house with James. The amount of knowledge he has on hand about home construction, architectural trends, and local markets is incredible. Even better: Hell share it all with you! He has an incredible eye for detail. On every walkthrough, he always made a realistic assessment of what would need fixing and how much it would cost before helping to inspire us with what could be done with the space. The end result was that we never felt rushed even when it was our own nerves that were pushing us to settle for what was available. In the end, we found a house that had everything we wanted and we closed on it with a great negotiator. We cant recommend James highly enough.

We used James Peterson from Living Room Realty as our realtor to help us sell our house. James proved to be very good at what he does. He came over to our house and gave us a few quick and easy recommendations to get our house ready to sell, which really made our house look nice. He was easy to work with. He’s very good at communication, explaining any questions, and quick to get documentation completed. With all that he did, we felt that he was trustworthy. We would highly recommend James as a realtor.

As we watch the sailboats on the Columbia from our front windows, we are grateful that we chose James Peterson as our realtor. Even when we had no idea what we were looking for, James listened carefully and helped us locate a perfect property. We then admired his negotiating talent, very astute but always ethical. And his follow-through with details was superb. Very simply, James is that rare realtor whose ideas and professionalism made us confident and satisfied buyers.

James Peterson is simply the best realtor I have ever had the privilege of working with. His patience, meticulous attention to detail, vast knowledge and insight all came into play in helping my husband and I find a home that worked for us. We worked with James for a long time, almost 2 years, and he never gave up on us. He let us set the pace for our house hunting, gently and sometimes not so gently nudging us away from some places that would have been a huge mistake. He didn’t just help us find and buy any home, he helped us find the perfect home for us. James truly cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to make sure you find the best home for you.

I highly recommend Mr. Peterson. He is a good listener and is extremely prompt. Helped me sell my house for $50,000 above the list price. Never would have thought that would have happened. He also helped me buy the one I have. His expertise goes beyond simply opening the door. He has remodeled several houses and is able to point out details that I would never have noticed. He is a true professional and you are nuts if you dont hire him.

We can not thank James enough for all the effort he made to find us the right home. I want to say that James is intent on finding the right home for his clients. He is honest and knowledgable. James considers the needs and desires of his clients he but he also considers the condition of the property and its future resale value. I must say that I buy a home from the heart. Having James in our corner tempered my choice but in the end we found the perfect place to hang our hearts and live the life we hoped for. If you want to find the home of your dreams and close the deal look no further.LessPrint pageEdit profilePersonal InformationScreen name:sunflower831Member since:05/21/2013sunflower831s BoardsHome Design Ideas10 imagesView all boards

My husband and I could not be more grateful for the expertise and guidance James provided throughout the selling and buying process. Moving is a stressful experience that requires a lot of insight and coordination, but James patiently walked us through each step and we felt confident that we were in great hands. James has a thorough knowledge of the real-estate world and is clearly passionate about his work. We were constantly impressed with his eye for detail--from crafting a beautiful and meticulous online video tour of our previous home to educating us on the construction and architectural elements of the new homes that we toured. We did not realize how much we did not know until we started working with James and benefiting from his experience. James was in continual communication with us about the process and was always available to answer questions. When my husband and I experienced moments of uncertainty and doubt as we tackled the transition of moving to a new city, James was able to talk with us about our concerns and provided the kind of thoughtful reassurance and insight that only comes from someone who truly cares about his clients. I truly enjoyed learning more about real estate from our many conversations, however I am just so grateful that in the end I could always depend on James to be our advocate and guide. I have already recommended James to my parents and will continue to recommend him to other friends and family as well.

James represented my wife and I in purchasing our home in Camas. I couldnt recommend him higher to anyone looking for an agent! He made the entire process easy and enjoyable. From house tours, to negotiating our buy, and through inspections and closing, we always felt confident that James was looking out for us and was on top of everything. Weve never had a real estate experience as good as this one! We never felt pressured by James and got a real sense that he wanted to find us the right house, not just a house, or the most expensive one. In the end we think we found the perfect house for us, one well be happy in for many years to come.James was also extremely knowledgable about construction/remodeling/materials and had an answer for any question we could throw at him. We knew that we ended up buying a good quality home at a fair price. James went above and beyond to make sure we felt heard, talk us through everything in detail, and felt comfortable through ever step of the process. My wife said to me, we bought our dream home, and I couldnt be happier. Thanks James!

We cant recommend James enough! He guided us through a complicated process and now we are fortunate to live in a beautiful home that will get our kids all the way through high school. He is the ultimate gentleman and extremely knowledgable and savvy when it comes to negotiations AND the mechanics of very old homes (which is what we love). James knows the market very well. He is very well plugged in to professionals for different needs that pop up during the inspection period. Thank you James!

James has been fantastic to work with. As first time homebuyers, we spent a lot of time going through homes and getting educated by James on what we should be looking for in quality home construction. He is extremely knowledgable and was patient with us as was took our time to find the right house.Even after we purchased our wonderful house James continues to provided references and assistance as we go about making it our home.My husband and I would recommend James to anyone in the Portland area looking for a new home.

You need someone hard working and available at all times to find the right home in this competitive Portland market. James was the right person for the job. His experience was invaluable and helped us land a great home. Thank you James!

James Peterson went over and beyond our expectations. He’s honost, highly dependable, and highly knowledgeable with homes. He won’t sell you a house just to sell your a house...he will sell you a high quality home.

As first time home buyers, we were already apprehensive about the process of buying our first home, but add on to that the fact that we were buying our first home in such a competitive market, and this left us feeling somewhat defeated and hopeless before we had even started. Not only did James meet our expectations; he FAR exceeded them. Always available for tours, very prompt with return emails/texts/phone calls, super knowledgeable about ADU additions/basement renos/possible renovation ideas, Portland neighborhoods, and the entire home buying process. He had our backs 100% of the time and could probably be a home inspector on the side...he knew what to look for and pointed out problems in homes that I wouldnt ever have thought to look for. He made us feel like we were the only the only clients he had (even though we definitely werent) and as nervous/novice home buyers we had a TON of questions/texts/phone calls and mini freak outs. He always took the time to answer our questions, relieve our concerns and offer us guidance. Were living in our dream home...as first time home buyers...in the Portland market....James is great. Well be using James from now on for all home purchases/sales in the Portland/Vancouver area without even a second thought.
