    We put our trust in Jim's expertise to price, market, and sell our home, and we were not once disappointed. It was by far the smoothest part of our move/relocation. I recommend him unreservedly to anyone buying or selling in Charlottesville, Crozet, or neighboring areas. He puts his attention and focus on what's important.

    Jim is a true professional. I would be remiss however if I didn’t point out that he is also a craftsman at his trade. He doesn’t just sell homes, Jim is in tune with the market, the area, and the needs of both sellers and buyers. Jim is straightforward and frank and best of all he listens. Do yourself a favor and look him up, read his blog. Get to know your realtor before you pick one. Jim will be at the top of your list I assure you!

    Jim was very helpful as a first time home buyer he helped us through the process from start to finish. He was great at negotiating with the sellers for us and always willing to take a video of properties we were potentially interested in when we were out of town. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

    I am not from the Charlottesville area and have no contacts here so it was very important to find a real estate agent I could count on for advice. I searched reviews and contacted Jim> Thankfully, he agreed to work with me. It was a pleasure. I thought Jim's process to learn what I wanted in a house was a good one. He would send me options then ask what I liked and did't like about each. In this way he was able to send me better options until we found the perfect house. Jim has also been available as a resource which is very important for someone moving to the area.

    Jim is a TRUE expert with a thorough understanding of the real estate market in Charlottesville and surrounding areas. As first time homebuyers, due to our inexperience my husband and I had a lot of anxieties about starting the home searching process. But after meeting with Jim, we quickly realized we could set aside our worries and actually enjoy the process of finding our forever home. He coached us through every step, and it's safe to say we'd be lost without his advice and expertise. There's a huge difference between a realtor who will tell you what you want to hear vs. one that will tell you what you need to hear, and Jim has mastered that delivery. I genuinely believe we wouldn't have landed such an incredible home and neighborhood if we didn't have him on our team. His responsiveness, connections, and experience got us right in the door in the nick of time. It's been 2 years of living in our dream home, and we are just as thankful now, if not more so, that we went with Jim.

    Jim has now found us one home and sold two. He is what I would call a bulldog when he's working for you. Jim makes sure that the home you chose is YOUR home, not just a sale for him.Jim does incredible research and monitors the market to time your purchase as well as your selling.You cannot go wrong with Jim Duncan.

    Jim Duncan is our dude. For almost 10 years, he’s been a great friend, knowledgeable resource, expert in the field, and trusted negotiator whose helped us navigate our first home purchase as well as first home sale. His patience and willingness to work through all the hurdles that have come in these processes has been a main reason we could achieve our homeowner goals. His acumen in real estate and our area ensured we always had the best information to help make the right decisions for us. It’s great working with Jim due to his professionalism, connections in the industry, and his ability to keep focus on the task at hand, whatever it needed to be at the time. I can’t recommend Jim Duncan enough when you need someone on your side to help make dreams come true.

    I had to sell a house while being out of state and Jim made the process super easy. Jim is super knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. I had a load of questions on things I may or not need to do prior to the sale and all of his answers made great sense to me and he gained my trust through his expert answers. Highly recommended!!

    Jim helped me and my brother sell my parent's home as part of an estate. He did not hesitate working with us (multiple parties needing to all agree on a multitude of things) or helping us ready the home for its sale. Selling a home can be stressful - dealing with an estate is even more stressful - and Jim was always available to answer questions and reassurance through the process. He successful negotiated on our behalf, helped coordinate needed repairs and we were happy to know we had someone like Jim looking out for us. Not something I would want to do again - but if we do, I wouldn't hesitate in reaching out to Jim once again. Thank you Jim!

    Can't say enough good things about working with Jim Duncan! We trusted his strategy for buying during a tough market, and his experience was an incredible asset for us as first time homebuyers. He explained every step of the process so we could understand it, and he was always amazingly responsive, which allowed us to move quick and buy a fantastic home. He even stepped in to handle a number of on-site needs while we were out of town. Very professional and just a great guy to work with. Thanks for everything, Jim! :)
