Time-Savings
Kevin and Beth discuss the benefits of working with me and how I saved them a lot of time in their house hunting.
"Jim and Jackie were a dream team to work with. Our transaction felt seamless and I credit them both with how well this process felt to us. It has been over a decade since we had purchased a home, they made everything feel easy, safe, and we had some laughs along the way also! They both went the extra mile to get us into our home and they helped with the negotiation and provided key knowledge and insight when we were thrown a curve ball in getting our offer accepted. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to sell there home or help in finding there dream home! They truly make this experience so wonderful and very easy!"”

“Wow!!! Fantastic job both of you, and kudos to Jim’s negotiating!! You did a wonderful job creating a beautiful home to list. So happy they got top dollar. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work. I know it’s been a long journey and my parents have needed a lot of emotional support. Living out of state and having aging parents has definitely been a challenge. I am so grateful for your whole team and the kindness you have shown to our family.”

“We selected Jim Badgley to be our seller's agent for our home in Woodinville after interviewing two other agents and were not disappointed with our choice. Jim's team of contractors for repairs and touchups, staging, and getting rid of all the stuff we did not want to move made the house look as good as new and undoubtedly was a reason the house sold in four days and above the asking price. Jim was in constant contact during the preparation, listing, and sale process to keep us up to date. We highly recommend Jim Badgley as a seller's agent if you want a hassle-free sale! We have since met three other families that used Jim as their seller's agent and they all had the same high opinion of his services.”

Full-Service Realtor®
Sheila discusses how I helped her make her move.
“Jim has proven himself to be the perfect agent for me to engage with. His easygoing demeanor combined with a no-nonsense and direct approach proved to be the perfect combo for me. He was definitely looking out for me by making sure that I got the best deal, while being realistic about the current housing market. His knowledge about the home buying process including financing/mortgage is vast and he always knew the right questions to ask of me, the sellers and the lender. If he didn't have an answer immediately, I knew that I would have it as soon as possible. No questions were left unanswered along the way which turned a potentially stressful situation to an simple expedited experience.
After the sale, he served as an endless source for me including recommending contractors for updates/repairs. His follow through after the sale is just one more reason that I would recommend Jim if anyone is the market for a home. In addition, I have recommended Jim to friends (who have bought homes) and they have been echoing my sentiment.”

Repeat Clients
Lucy and Patrick discuss working with me on three of their home purchases.
“Jim helped us with the preparation and sale of our home. It turned out beautifully and because of his expertise in negotiations, he was able to net us far more for our home than we ever dreamed. His calming influence helped settle any anxieties we had and his knowledge of the industry was evident throughout the entire process.”

Concierge Services
Joe and Ann discuss how I helped them with my Concierge Services option to help them downsize and move from a 3,500 sq foot home in Bellevue to Emerald Heights in Redmond.
“As a seller, I found Jim Badgley, Realtor with Windermere, to excel at the highest standard in every category of a Realtor. His knowledge, research, and accuracy in pricing/timing are complemented by his extraordinary honesty and thoughtfulness to everyone, not just his client. He has gathered an ancillary team that meets his standards and allows for a flawless presentation of a home for sale, negotiating the transaction and constant follow through until the home is closed. Everyone, including the buyers and their Real Estate agent, was impressed and found him wonderful to work with. I can not find one flaw in his process of helping customers, whether buyers or sellers achieve their goals and I feel so lucky to have him represent me.”
— Sheila S. in Seattle
“We were pleased to have the Badgleys represent us in the sale of a house in Woodinville. This presented some unusual challenges since we are on the east coast and had to conduct all transactions remotely. The Badgleys proved to be very knowledgeable and competent in handling every detail, including compliance with local laws, arranging contractors to fix problems with the property, and staging the property for an effective presentation, both on site and on line. They were always responsive to our questions. The sale went quickly and smoothly. The Badgleys showed good judgment and fairness in handling competing offers, and obtained a good price. We are thoroughly satisfied.”
— Robert E. in Woodinville
“Jim Badgley lives up to his excellent reputation. We benefited from his knowledge of the market and his extensive experience, resulting in a fast and stress-free transaction. I would never buy or sell property without his expertise and guidance.”
— Eva C. in Kirkland
“We are very pleased with the sale of our home by Jim Badgley and Windermere Real Estate. Jim had the expertise to get our home to market and sold. He listened to our concerns and plans and worked that into an overall great experience. He had great resources to help get our house in shape and presented in the best possible way. Everyone involved did a wonderful job and stayed on schedule to make our listing day. The house was sold quickly at a price we were happy with and was sold to a quality buyer. Jim’s knowledge, tips and recommendations along the way made it all possible. We couldn’t be happier..”
— Kevin and Joanne V. in Woodiniville
“During the entire process of buying our Seattle home, Badgley Real Estate Services went above and beyond what we expected. Thanks to their expertise and the trust we quickly garnered in them, we invested very little time in what can often be a lengthy process.
Our entire experience was smooth: they pulled the listings that best matched our criteria and even pre-toured all the homes, only taking us to those they felt fit our needs. This saved us an incredible amount of time. (I'm an interior designer and quite picky about homes--yet they were able to find the home we ended up purchasing, and we only had to spend one afternoon looking at houses.)
Also, Badgley Real Estate Services works with a fantastic team of trusted mortgage brokers, inspectors, and contractors. We loved the one-stop shop aspect.
Jim is masterfully skilled in being courteous yet strong during negotiations. We've dealt with "bulldogs realtors" in the past, and it was delightfully refreshing to see the same end result of the deal, yet done with extreme proficiency and finesse. We ended up with the best possible deal thanks to Jim.”
— Kevin and Beth D. in Seattle
“Personal qualities: friendly, non-judgmental, good listener, generous, trustworthy, honest, inclusive.
Professional qualities: Good communication skills, accessible, does his homework, has a good network of professionals who help evaluate what needs to be done before putting the house on the market as well as closing, streamlines the details so his client will understand the paperwork she is signing.
With his sense of what the market would bear he took into account the slowing housing market and inflation, and his trust that a first-time buyer would love this home. Several buyers were immediately interested in purchasing the house after the first open house. It is now sold.
I am a very satisfied customer.”
— Marie C. in Seattle
“Jim was a godsend recommended by one of my dear friends when I had to sell my home in Woodinville with very short notice because I had to move out of state to help take care of my new granddaughter. He gave me advice on everything and went above and beyond expectations to get my home ready. He took care of the mess I left behind and had all the pros working hard to transform my home into a gorgeous sought-after home.
My home got an offer for $350K above listing in 36 hrs and closed in 25 days. I never thought it would be this quick and stress-free even in this hot seller’s market and Jim made this possible with his expertise and hard work.
He is a kind and caring person who truly enjoys helping his clients during a stressful time. He even gave me a ride to the airport and met the driver for my auto transport and PODS movers after I left.
He sold my friend's home and several of her friends' homes as well, and Jim deserves the rave recommendations given to him.”
— Winnie E. in Woodinville
“Jim, Jim he’s your man, if he can’t do it nobody can! We closed on my parents house today and what easily could have been a nightmare of a process was SO smooth! From arranging the estate sale, to the garbage/donation removal, and random things that we needed assistance with, to finding buyers for it immediately! The amount of stress and time that was saved is immeasurable! Thank you, thank you!! Jim Badgley/Badgley Homes for all your real estate needs!”
