We used Jim as our agent and found his expertise exceptional. This was a new build and Jim used his significant experience in the building industry to help us make the right choices for the present and potential resale value in the future if we ever decided to go that route. He worked with our builder rep to ensure items were followed up on and he provided insights to us about what needed to happen with the builder. Jim really provided a trusted voice in the process and as we were out of staters building this house, Jim went above and beyond to inspect the process for us when we could not be present. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. We highly recommend Jim! 5 stars across the board!
Jim was a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable. Jim went above and beyond to make sure we were heading in the right direction. I would highly recommend Jim Balko to my friends and family and will work with him in our next purchase of a property.
Jim was phenomenal to work with. I am located out of state, but he made the entire process so easy. Very knowledgeable, super helpful, reliable, and communicative from beginning to end. Thanks Jim!!
Jim Balko made buying a new build home super easy and smooth. He made every effort to be there in person whenever I needed him. He's all around special guy to be around with, I feel very lucky to have him as my realtor. I definitely would recommend his services to my families and friends.
Jim was referred to me by my brother in law and sister. He was very friendly and understood my needs. We picked the houses we wanted to look at and was able to identify a place in a month. Jim also provided me insight with his thoughts on the properties and negotiated on my behalf. The Escrow process was extremely smooth for a first time buyer like me and all kudos to Jim on that. He also helped me get in touch with a broker who got me a favorable interest rate. Overall 11/10 for Jim. Highly recommended.
When me and my wife decided that we wanted to sell and buy a new house. First person I called was Jim Balko because I know from past history that he's the one that can get it done and save me alot of money. Every time I had any questions, Jim was very easy to get a hold of and was very knowledgeable about the housing market. I strongly recommend him to my family and friends and anyone that wants a fun and a professional experience in selling or buying a home.
Jim was a wonderful Real Estate Agent. I live out of state and Jim was referred to us from our realtor here in Washington. My sister passed away and I could only spend a Limited amount of time in Arizona taking care of her property. Jim came in and helped me get the property ready by finding Junk companies, cleaners, carpet installers, roofers and just all around general contractors to help get everything up to code and ready for the sale he even lent me his tools so we could fix some of the stuff on our own. He even came on his own personal time to let people come from Facebook marketplace and buy her furniture we did not donate. I would highly recommend Jim to all my friends and family that live in the Phoenix area .
He was Perfect!
Jim worked tirelessly to help me through the process of buying my home. Despite numerous setbacks in securing a loan, Jim helped me understand the process, weigh my options, and connect me with various brokers to finally accomplish my goal of buying a home. Jim went above and beyond to support me and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and determined realtor!
