Jim is Amazing!

This review is long overdue! I've completed the closing for my home purchase with Jim in January 2021 but got busy with home renovations. I'm still not finished but I made some time to write this review because Jim really deserves it! From day one, Jim made me feel comfortable with the process of p...urchasing a house, a process that was unfamiliar to me. He explained things clearly and concisely. Jim was always available to talk to, even in the evenings after I finished work. He was very professional, attentive and answered all of my questions. He kept me updated and well informed with great detail. Jim made things very easy for me. I had an unfortunate incident when my mortgage company messed up with my home's paperwork and was unable to fix it. Jim was the one who had the knowledge, took charge and was able to push all of the necessary paperwork through in order to move along my home purchase. He was very organized and kept track of all due dates. He also took charge in the problem solving and coordinated papers for both myself and the seller. Jim went above and beyond the call of duty. I just can't thank him enough. He was a blessing and I was very lucky to work with him. I would highly recommend him for a real estate lawyer. Jim, if you're reading this, I just wanted to thank you once again for your patience and for the outstanding job that you did to help me buy my first home!

Exceptional experience

Jim was beyond trustworthy and competent as our lawyer for the sale and purchase of our new and old home. He always responded very quickly to all our messages, questions and requests. He was thorough in explaining all necessary steps and always had our best interest at heart. Jim was extremely knowle...dge when it came to real estate and made us always feel comfortable. Working with Jim was a great experience and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate! He made the process very easy!

Best real estate attorney ever!

Jim is amazing! He is the best attorney I ever used! He is responsible and patient with all my questions, he thinks ahead for any upcoming issues that might delay the closing. He keeps tracking on the process to make sure it matches dates on contract. His charge is also very reasonable and he keeps m...e updated all th time.

James was a blessing!

From the very start of the process, to the day of closing, James made us feel like he was actually purchasing the house himself, and that we were his only clients. He stayed in touch with us continuously throughout the entire process, keeping us updated and well informed. He went above and beyond, an...d we could not be anymore grateful that we had him on our team! Unfortunately we had to deal with a seller’s team that was not on the ball, and barely responsive, and James not only did everything on his end to keep things moving along, but picked up all the slack from the other side. Not a day went by throughout our process that I didn’t say “Thank God for James!” It truly was a blessing that we were led to James, and I will ALWAYS recommend James to anymore and everyone I know!!!

Great Experience

James O'Kelly was my real estate attorney for the sale of my house and the purchase of a new house. For it being such a stressful ordeal, he made it so much easier. He walked me thru every step of the way for both the sale and the purchase. Every time I emailed him or called him, he responded right a...way. Even if it was to tell me that he'd call me back in a little while. He gave me checklists with dates on what needed to be done and when it would be due. I would absolutely recommend James O'Kelly to anyone who needs a real estate attorney.
