"James Saffell
James did an excellent job. He was knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. I am confident that James was not in a hurry to just sell a house, but wanted to find the right home for us. On more than one occasion, he told us "we need to see with God's eyes, not our eyes and He will help us find the right place at the right time". James and Margaret Saffell were a true blessing and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a home here in the Brooksville area!"

"Knowledgeable, intuitive and persistent.
From our first meeting, James was certain that my home would sell in a short time. I was doubtful, because while the house is solid, it needs to be updated from the mid-1980's style kitchen and needed lanai area updates. James was properly persistent and encouraging, providing the right guidance and "stick-to-it" attitude. Following his advice by making some simple presentation improvements did the trick. The home sold in a reasonably short amount of time at an acceptable price. James obviously knows what he is doing. Because of his stellar performance in handling my needs, I have already recommended him to a family member and a friend of the family. When they call him, I know they will be in good hands, Thank you James!"

"Graet to work with. Listen to my needs and went the extra mile.
James and Margaret were the best. This was my 5th home buying experience. James and Margaret went the extra mile to insure that my timetable was met and made sure that every step of the journey was quick and easy. They made themselves available to us everytime we needed them. I highly reccomend them to anyone looking to buy their next home."

"We had an outstanding experience with James when he represented us in the sale of our home. His knowledge of the neighborhood blew us away, and we loved his attention to detail. Using a professional photographer and listing our home on every online site possible, plus in 3 MLS territories, helped our house to sell in less than 1 week. James was attentive and professional - at all times! Great experience!! "

"Outstanding!
I had a conflict with the schedule moving out the house I sold and the date to move in my new house. i told James about it and he took over coordinating the move out/ move in. It went smooth like there wasn't a problem. After the sale/purchase James followed up with me making sure everything is alright. Two thumps up (sorry I only have two thumps). Thank you very much again."
-Ursula (Seller), Client
"BEST!!!! Agent I've worked with!!!!
James and his team were AMAZING. I bought a house in Florida (sight unseen) from California. He went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. He and his team helped me find, and secure, homeowners and flood insurance, and helped get the house clean and ready to move into. I highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs. Thanks again James & Margaret!

He answered all of our questions and never made us feel like we were a bother to him. He was always accommodating to us when we needed to meet in person. James has a way of making you feel like you've known him forever. We really felt as though he had our best interest at heart at all times."

He came very highly recommended to us and we were very pleased with him. He goes the extra mile and gives you ideas and advise. He tells you what works and what doesnt.

"James Saffell is the best realtor I have encountered in 57 years of owning homes
James was low key throughout. He did not push, he did not question unreasonably, he did not rush anything. James was professional ever. And is he experienced, oh yes he is. He has sold over 3000 homes and his approach and demeanor reflect this level of senior experience. I have move to Ohio, so out of his area, but recommend James to anyone seriously looking to buy or sell a home. And his wife and daughter used their solid experience to enhance the entire transaction."

"James helped me with purchasing a house and selling a house. I explained what I wanted to buy and within three weeks I closed on a Villa. The house I sold had structure issues which James was knowledgeable of. All the documentation needed for the sale was reviewed by James and made available to the buyer. That house was in contract within 23 days and closed. I have referred James to friends. One has worked with James to buy and sell a house. I still refer James to friends."
-Linda Giordano, Other
"Other local residents had directed me to James Saffell. After meeting two well thought of representatives from other firms, I met with James.
He is a business person; he is professional; He was direct and honest - all valuable traits to look for in a real estate professional.
James delivered on each of his assurances - quick sale (3 days from listing) at full price. Furthermore, the work of his team toward closing was superb. A major reason for working with James is the quality of his backup team. All delivered, and closing was never in doubt.
From one who recommends others carefully, I heartily endorse the Beaches to Ranches team and James Saffell."

"#1 Best agent for Hernando County
You will not find a harder working agent then James and his team. My wife and I we're out of state when we listed with James. Our experience with him was Top Notch we accepted an offer 4 days after listing significantly above our asking price. And closed within three weeks. No need to look anywhere else they will do the best job for you!"

"Excellent Service
James is a top notch realtor! He is very professional & knowledgeable in all the different legal aspects of the buying & selling of homes. He is someone who truly cares about his clients. He walked me through a challenging move, including finding the perfect home in my price range in the area I wanted to live in, as well as selling the home I was living in. He exercised a great deal of wisdom concerning the housing market including the timing of finances needed for my particular move. I never felt rushed or hurried by James throughout this whole process, but felt confident as he guided me through the many steps of buying my new home, and the selling of my existing home. I had multiple offers on my home & sold it for above asking price. I highly recommend James to handle your real estate needs!"
-Karen (Buyer), Client
"Our Choice Was Clear and Correct!
Where do I begin? When we first listed our home, we thought we could sale it on our own. Before we decided to go with a Real Estate Agent, we reached out to James who, with no obligation required from us, came to our house to give feedback on our listing. We quickly realized that we could not do this on our own and James was the clear choice of who should sell our home. I had a lot of anxious thoughts going into our big move and James was extremely knowledgeable, confident and reassuring throughout. He and his entire group absolutely know what to do to get the job done, and I could not recommend him highly enough!"

"Top realtor in hernando county
James and Margaret Saffell are by far the best realtor agency around, Janes has handled 5 of our sales, 2 of our purchases. I have recommended countless people to him and his team and everyone keeps using him and those people have repeat business with him, with that being said, obviously James and his team are more than qualified to meet your needs. They are by far at the top of their game!"

"We chose James Saffell, after interviewing three other agents. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable . He also had many years of very local experience.

He brought his portfolio and names of previous clients whose homes he had marketed. As well as homes he helped other clients find. His appearance was also very professional."

"First Time Home Buyers: James Saffell should be your Agent
James was recommended by my mother as he had previously helped her find a home for my disabled brother. As first time home buyers we wanted someone we could trust and we found that in James. He was so patient, took the time to answer all of our crazy questions and always found time for us even when I knew he didn't have it to give. We just moved into our beautiful new home and couldn't be more grateful to James for making it happen. Thank you James!
