James was our realtor for two houses that we purchased in a span of 8 years. His professionalism is unmatched and on both occasion his dedication to get us the best possible outcome has been spot on. He is deeply dedicated with vast amount of experience and passion for residential housing. We also found him to have a great breadth and depth of knowledge about real estate. He is consistently made himself available from initial search through closing. Even after closing he made sure we are well settled in the house and followed up on relevant items. He is a great negotiator and provides insights on the current state of the deal that allow us to make the right choices. He also provided us with timely updates as relevant to the ongoing contract. We admire his consistent dedication to provide the best deal available be it negotiating with the seller, getting good deal from loan manager, providing other recommendations for home improvement.

It is with immense pleasure and without any reservation that I recommend James and Kin of Heritage Properties as exceptional realtors. My experience working with them on the purchase of my first home in Livermore was truly outstanding, and I feel compelled to share the positive impact they had on this significant milestone in my life.My introduction to James came through a glowing recommendation from my mother, whom he expertly assisted with both the sale of her previous residence and the purchase of a new home in San Diego. Knowing my mother's high standards and her satisfaction with James' services gave me complete confidence in reaching out to him when I began my own house hunt in Livermore.As a first-time homebuyer, I was admittedly navigating unfamiliar territory. James and Kin immediately put me at ease with their knowledge, patience, and genuine commitment to guiding me through every step of the process. From understanding my needs and preferences to diligently searching for suitable properties in the Livermore area, they were consistently responsive, informative, and incredibly supportive. Their expertise made what could have been a daunting experience feel manageable and even exciting.Remarkably, through their dedication and keen understanding of the market, we successfully closed on my new home the night before Christmas Eve – a testament to their efficiency and unwavering commitment to their clients, even during the busy holiday season.However, their support didn't end at closing. What truly sets James and Kin apart is their continued dedication to their clients' well-being long after the transaction is complete. They went above and beyond by walking me through the process of working with various contractors. Their recommendations for painters, tile specialists, and handymen were invaluable, and they even assisted me in reviewing bids and discerning essential work from less urgent projects. James’ willingness to offer his insights and expertise in transforming my new house into my ideal home was truly exceptional and deeply appreciated.James and Kin are not simply realtors who facilitate a transaction; they are trusted advisors and partners who genuinely care about their clients' long-term satisfaction. My first home buying experience was overwhelmingly positive thanks to their guidance, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Without a doubt, I will be seeking their expertise again when the time comes for me to sell and relocate back to San Diego.

James and Kin are true professional at bay area real estate market. They are thorough and knowledgeable in all aspects for the home purchasing process. Everything went through very well from searching for a home, making an offer, and then closing. They answered all my questions and guided me through the steps the entire time. I would highly recommend them for your home purchasing needs.

We've known James Dye for almost quarter of century since we purchased our first home. During that time he has helped us tremendously with multiple transactions including main residence (buy and sell) and investment rental properties (sell). His advice has been an extremely valuable asset during each and every transaction, the latest being the sale of our main residence. As this transaction included relocating out of state, we contacted James and Kin a few months before planning to sell the house. They set up the first meeting right away in spite of the longer timeline involved. In the meeting, he educated us what we could expect this time considering the current housing market conditions, as well as the changing rules regarding realtor showings and commission structure. In addition, as we were setting up residence out of state, James and Kin took care of all arrangements for contractors and kept us up-to-date on the progress almost every day. Due to their level of professionalism exhibited during our past experiences with them, from listing through the close, we trusted them 100% selling the property remotely and were VERY PLEASED with the outcome. They're simply an amazing and excellent team to have on your side! Highly recommended!
