Jim Staten, Realtor Testimonials

Jim stood out from the others. He was professional and presented multiple examples of homes in the area that were similar in price and size. Jim was upfront and honest about the amount we could get for our home. His paperwork, staging, and instructions for selling our home were presented well. Even though we were going through a separation, Jim was able to easily communicate all of the information separately. Jim was very good at defusing tense situations and providing solutions. I would highly recommend Jim Staten to anyone buying or selling a home.

He was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. He understands the market and worked to represent our best interests. It was a long journey and Jim showed us patience and understanding. Can’t say enough good things about Jim.

He is knowledgeable, patient and easy to reach when we need him. He goes out of his way to make buying or selling your home as easy and comfortable as possible.

The communication was quick, on point and left me with very few questions. My experience of the process was top notch and I will definitely recommend Jim and his team to future clients.

He’s not pushy and he sold our house in three hours. He’s amazing!

He is hard working, honest, trustworthy, professional, and very knowledgeable about the business. I highly recommend Jim if you are in the market to buy or sell a home, you will enjoy the experience. He helped us sell our home quickly in a challenging market.

His knowledge of central Ohio and the surrounding areas is unmatched. His promptness to any issues and helpful nature is what really makes him stand out. Jim is always looking out for what is best for his clients. He has become a true friend. I highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell anywhere in central Ohio.

His professionalism and attention to detail is top notch and he treats every situation throughout the buying/selling process (good or bad) with an even keeled approach to provide the best possible outcome. If you are looking for help with your real estate needs, Jim is your guy!

We have already recommended Jim to our many friends and family and he has helped as the preferred realtor to multiple friends and also our parents! Jim does a great job taking the time to understand your situation, desires and dis/likes for the property your searching for or your criteria for a successful sale listing. Then he supports and advises you though a successful listing, property search and closing. Jim's super likable, easy to work with, and I have found his advice to be insightful and truthful. If your looking for someone customer oriented and on your side, I enthusiastically endorse Jim!

Second time I have worked with him and have been extremely satisfied each time. Most recently, we had been looking at homes for almost two years and without Jim's knowledge we may have settled for something that was less than ideal. When we sold our current residence things came at a rapid pace due to the current market. Jim was able to navigate us through the process having a depth of knowledge of insight that was outstanding. He was always looking out our bests interests. Can't say enough about how pleased I am with Jim.

His recommendations were spot on. With his marketing techniques our house sold for above asking price in less than two weeks. Jim was there with us during the whole process from scheduling the first showing until the time we closed on the house. Thanks again Jim for all of your help!

We trusted him and his advice knowing that he wasn’t going to pressure us into a home that wasn’t ideal just to make a sale. As first time homebuyers, he made the entire process so easy! We can’t wait to work with him again! Thanks, Jim!

He is always professional and has very good insights as to the market and how to prepare a property for sale. I will continue to work with Jim on future real estate deals.

We worked with him previously on a couple of real estate transaction and he was the only person we considered this time. Jim met with us at the property and understood our position to sell “as-is” since we had already put a lot of time and energy into the house. He came up with a listing and price that worked well - we had over 15 showing in a week, then a couple offers, and closed when he expected. The entire transaction took 37 days and we sold for more than the asking price. Jim was attentive, and almost all signing was electronic, so easy on us. We highly recommend Jim for your next real estate transaction.

He gave us feedback and tips for preparing my mom’s home to go on the market. It sold in one day. Thanks Jim!

He was very helpful in finding the perfect house for our family. I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again if we ever have to move. Thank you, Jim!

We made an offer and were in contact in few hours! Great job!

He has great knowledge of the real estate markets, especially in these times when things are moving so quickly. I can honestly say that he made the sale of my home extremely easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I found him to be knowledgeable and professional. Everything was done in a timely manner and I felt I understood the process every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to friends and family.

He did an excellent job on all aspects of the sale. I highly recommend him.

A year ago, I reconnected with him, this time as a remote buyer living in California. From the beginning, Jim went above and beyond to make this process as seamless as possible, even with the challenges of being out of state. Jim personally visited homes on my behalf, providing detailed photos, videos, and thoughtful descriptions of each property. His insights went beyond just what you can see online—he offered valuable details about the neighborhood, layout, and even the feel of each home, which made me feel confident in making decisions from afar. His deep knowledge of the Columbus market and his ability to anticipate my needs truly set him apart. What impressed me most is Jim’s commitment to ensuring his clients are informed and comfortable every step of the way. Whether it was answering questions promptly, providing honest advice, or guiding me through the complexities of buying a home remotely, he was always one step ahead. Jim is more than a realtor—he’s a trusted partner who puts his clients first. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone buying or selling a home, especially if you're navigating a challenging situation like buying from another state. His dedication, expertise, and personalized service are unmatched

..extremely knowledgeable. As a 1st time homeowner, Jim answered our questions (or found the answer on the rare occasion he didn’t know), and gave us the things to look for when buying a home. I would absolutely recommend Jim to anyone buying or selling a home. Jim is a library of knowledge and is 100% committed to his clients!

He is very knowledgeable about all the aspects of buying and selling a house. Jim is honest and fair in all of his business dealings. He not only pays close attention to fine details, but knows how to get things done. Jim has helped me buy and sell many properties and I will continue to use him in the future.

He was there anytime needed and answered any questions I had. Made the first time home buying experience a breeze. Would highly recommend!

Also, I was buying from out of state so I had limited time available to view properties. Jim was very good at explaining the whole process to me and clarified a lot of questions I had. I found him to be very knowledgeable and patient with a novice. He worked very fast when I found something I liked, to get the home under contract. He went out of his way to be available during key times when I was in the area, even on New Year's Eve. He gave me a lot of contacts for service people, painters, cleaners, etc. that I might need as I prepared to move. I was very happy with the help I received from Jim Staten and would recommend him to others.

His family was his priority but he always dropped whatever he was doing for himself to take calls from and help his clients. I got to experience his dedication to his clients firsthand in the process of buying my new condo. He helped me so much through this process and it showed me how good he is at what he does. My dad will help you find the home of your dreams with all the knowledge and experience that he has with both buyers and sellers. He is the BEST around (and I am not just saying that because I am his daughter)! He cares so much about the people he represents and truly wants the best for them. Call him today to start living out your dreams as a homeowner!

Not only did he sell our home, but he found us our forever home. We have worked with Jim three times and would use him again. Thanks again, Jim.

My wife and I worked with Jim 20 years ago and remembered what a pleasant experience we had. He helped us both buy and sell homes in Grove City and Galloway. We sold my parents’ house and needed help on various things since there was not a will. Jim’s keen eye for details and global knowledge made this transaction seamless. Jim is so personable and knowledgeable that I consider him a Nostradamus in this business. Wow, what a superlative experience overall! Thank you, Jim from myself and all 7 siblings!

Very professional and thorough. Kept us up-to-date all along the way. Would highly recommend Jim to everyone.

At each step in the whole process, Jim came through with his commitment to excellence. Jim’s negotiation skills were first-rate – he consistently found ways to get us the best deal possible.

Not only has he helped us with selling/purchasing our last two homes, he has also mentored us on remodeling projects that would increase value as well as recommend trusted people to use over the last 17 years.

Jim was very professional and we were very comfortable working with him. Jim returned all my phone calls or emails the same day and we never felt neglected. We are pleased to recommend Jim Staten to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home. He was great to work with and if we need an agent again we will be contacting him. He is our first choice real estate agent and second time working with Jim, both buying and selling a home.

He takes care of your wants and needs as if they were his very own. You can tell he is always working and thinking proactively in order to give his clients the best possible service and experience. We would highly recommend Jim!

As a buyer, Jim helped me find the perfect home and I couldn’t have been happier with his guidance on the transaction. As a seller, there was no doubt I would work with Jim again to have him assist me in finding the next owner for my home - I wanted to sell to someone who would enjoy it as much as I did, as well as realize the returns on my investment. Jim takes the time to listen to the needs of both the seller and the buyer, and I’m proud to call him my realtor of choice. Thanks again, Jim.

He guided us through the selling/purchase of our homes giving us confidence and peace. He has many years of experience and has been our family realtor for over 15 years.

His detailed knowledge of the western Columbus area is impressive and he offers support through the entire home buying process, even after closing.

! The house was sold for a higher price than expected in 4 days! Would highly recommend him if you ever sell or buy. He answers questions day and night, is professional, and actually cares about your needs.

He made the process as painless as possible and helped us along every step explaining the process in detail. Great realtor and better person.

As first time home buyers he was always available with our many questions. He gave us great insight as to options in financing, different options in buying (building vs rehabbing vs ready to move in) and is EXTREMELY knowledgeable in the real estate business! Each time we went to visit a home I did not feel rushed or pressured to make a decision, instead it was quite the opposite. Jim took time to weigh out the pros and cons of each house according to our desires, which in turn helped us make a decision in this fast -paced market. He also has a quick and efficient online presence - all documents were sent and signed online and we got listings that matched our criteria every day. If Jim wasn't available by phone right away he always texted with a time he could talk or answered our question. The closing process was relatively smooth and the few hiccups we did have (with the title company) Jim was right there fighting on our behalf to get things corrected. Jim is definitely your advocate when you hire him and he goes the extra mile! Once we started moving Jim didn't stop serving us, he was able to recommend electricians, plumbers, excavators and anything we needed to make the transition smooth. Jim is now a friend and we are proud to call him our realtor!!

We were worried. He set the price too high. It sold in 3 hours. He made the entire process easy for us. He would always call us back as soon as possible with answers to our questions. Jim is kind, professional and courteous. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to sell their house!

He helped us buy our first home and then when we were ready to sell it 8 years later, he did a great job to get us above our asking price. We highly recommend to work with Jim, not only for his expertise but also for his friendly personality and integrity in the business. Thanks, Jim!

We always knew Jim was great, but now after having to buy and sell a couple houses without him we know he is THE BEST and I promise we’re not just saying that because he is my dad. So thankful for his help in selling our house and driving to Dayton to help us find our dream home! He is so knowledgeable in every area of real estate and works very hard to ensure the process goes smoothly!

He is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and helped alleviate some of the stress that came with purchasing a home. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

He is very knowledgeable & always goes above & beyond to help us with any questions we may have.

He was thorough, thoughtful and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Not only is he professional, experienced, well connected, prompt, and proactive but he also cares. He asks thoughtful questions and shares concerns. I couldn’t be happier with his service and would recommend him to anyone!

He was able to direct us to the right person or place for everything we needed to make our new home our own. My wife has used him before and we will definitely use him again if needed.

Jim stepped in, answering questions, making recommendations about things might do to the house, recommending contractors. We plan to use him again.

He also helped us buy our new home. I would recommend Jim to any of my family and friends when they are ready to sell or buy a new home.
