Here is just a small sample of feedback we have received from our clients over the year.  More references are always available upon request.  At West Elm Properties, we strive to make sure our clients always have positive things to say about us during and after the sale.

"My husband and I were quite pleased with James Brinkman. We found the perfect home but discovered there were many obstacles to overcome. James worked very hard for us. He was always very professional and resourceful, and provided the guidance we needed to properly close a complicated purchase. His manner of marketing the home that we were selling went beyond industry standards as well. Our home sold quickly for a good price while others on the same street sat dormant. James is quite tech savvy, which also served as a plus in today’s market. We will use him again!"
-Rafi & Linda Baddour

"James is a very easy and open person to work with. He is knowledgeable about his profession, gave us advice when we asked for assistance, and most importantly, he was very patient with us. Being a first time home buyer, it can't be expected that we would know what we wanted just by looking at some pictures and visiting one or two houses. James gave us the time we needed -- his time, to look at all the homes that fit our criteria in order to find the perfect home. We are extremely happy with his service, his responsiveness, his personality, and his understanding of what it is to buy and own a home.”
- Kenneth and Mandy Hayden


"James was a great real estate agent. We looked at over 50 houses and never at any point felt any pressure from James. He made the whole experience fun too."
– Shelley Brand & Brian Thies


“When my fiancé and I were shopping for a house James Brinkman was an invaluable resource. He seemed to very quickly develop a sense of what we were looking for as well as when to give us the help we needed and when to back off and let us take the reigns. In addition he was very flexible and capable of working around our hectic schedule, and constantly available to help us. Throughout the financing and closing process he was there to answer all of our questions and concerns and helped us avoid several potential disasters. We have been very happy with all of the help James has given us and would highly recommend James to anyone looking to find the home of their dreams. James is not only an incredible Realtor, but has become a good and trusted friend as well.”
- Alex & Kathryn Newton


“Being a first-time homebuyer, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted or what I should be looking for. James was extremely flexible, informative, and willing to help despite my constantly changing requests. Thanks for helping to make my first home buying experience a great one, James!”
