James Von Dorsten - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

James Von Dorsten is the gold standard to what all realtors should aspire.

We are thankful we found him early in our search for property/new home. He truly listened to our needs and found us a home that checked all the boxes. We were not in a rush to find something so saw many properties with him before settling on one. His patience is unparalleled. He had our best interest at heart when going through properties and was prompt to point out any red flags that we may have overlooked. As we are new to the area, we relied heavily on his knowledge and resources. He helped us get set up with a wonderful mortgage broker, top-quality inspectors, and local trusted contractors. James is an all around good person and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

I’m a homeowner!

I had tons of questions about the process of purchasing a home. Not to mention the anxiety of making sure I was buying the perfect home for the value! James was instrumental in helping me find my dream home. He was transparent and honest about any and all questions I had. Thanks for all your help James.

More often than not, finding a professional to aid in handling a major purchase, such as a house, is often similar to trying to find a unicorn that someone said was walking through a dewy meadow after a summer rain with a giant rainbow in the background.

I had the pleasure of meeting James when I was looking for a second home in the Reno / Sparks area. While this venture did not work out, I had the opportunity, a few months later, to purchase a home that I thought I would never have the chance to acquire. James did a great job presenting my offer and came up with some great ideas on how to present my offer and immediately got to work. The offer was accepted, and that's when things got very involved. The only way I could obtain the property was to sell another property in a 1031 exchange. This was my first 1031 exchange and what James did for me was exceptional. The amount coordination and timer critical decisions that is needed for an exchange is nothing for the faint of heart. James coordinated all parties involved (buyer agent of my property, my selling agent, the selling agent of my new property and not to forget the 1031 exchange company), James shined throughout the process and made sure all my questions were answered, not to mention "talking me off the ledge" more than once. The entire 1031 exchange was like threading the needle, James held it all together, I was impressed, and truly thankful for all his diligent work. I will say that I am very fortunate to have met him. Thanks for everything James. Yep, I did find the unicorn..
