“ James is very easy to work with and has a wonderful team to make your house selling or buying a breeze”

No wonder James is the top realtor in Virginia. He was available all hours to ease our worries and always happy to answer any questions. His knowledge on what buyers look at and his expertise on all things houses is next level. James is very easy to work with and has a wonderful team to make your house selling or buying a breeze. During our home buying process my wife and I have very unique schedules. Somehow James always made it work and we were able to view every house we wanted.

“His knowledge, patience, professionalism, and heart shines through in everything he does from setting up a search all the way through closing.”

Let me start by saying, I have purchased several homes prior to this one. James, hands down, has been the best realtor I have ever worked with! His knowledge, patience, professionalism, and heart shines through in everything he does from setting up a search all the way through closing. At no point in the process of buying my new home did I have to question a thing as James was always 5 steps ahead of me. I trust him so much in fact that I have referred my own mother to him (who is moving to VA from out of state).

So thankful to have James’s guidance through the process of selling our current home and purchasing our dream home! We got an incredible deal on both sides, which is unheard of in this crazy market. He makes you feel like you’re his only client, when you know that’s not the case. James is an expert in his field, a master negotiator and has an incredible eye for detail. “Best of the best” may sound like a cliche overstatement, but in this case it is not.

“He had a spreadsheet that went over all the important aspects of the offers we received which was SO helpful for someone who is not used to reading these types of contracts and not knowing what to look for.…. I am so grateful for James and the work he put into us selling our home so we could start our new chapter in our new area. I could not give a higher recommendation, as I have never quite worked with someone who has gone THIS above-and-beyond...”

James was recommended to us by two family members who had sold and purchased a few houses with him with a glowing review. While we were very excited to work with him, we were nervous if we would have the same results, as our house was not quite as jaw-dropping as the ones he had helped our family sell. He came into our first meeting SO well prepared with all of our questions already answered, worksheets and reference points in a folder for us to refer back to after our conversation. We walked through the house as he gave his recommendations and wrote it all out and even helped us come up with ideas on how to execute the projects. He stayed in contact and became such a valuable resource throughout the whole process, by the time we listed, we had no worries or questions, only confidence. After listing the house, he took care of everything. It was seriously one of the easiest things I’ve ever done! He and his team scheduled everything from start to finish and confirmed everything with me, ensuring I had nothing to stress over or worry about. Showings were so simple and he kept us informed with feedback and updates. He had a spreadsheet that went over all the important aspects of the offers we received which was SO helpful for someone who is not used to reading these types of contracts and not knowing what to look for. The only issues we ran into were that the buyer’s realty team was not as incredible as ours! Everything, from start to finish, was so much easier and smoother than I could have ever thought selling a home could be. I am so grateful for James and the work he put into us selling our home so we could start our new chapter in our new area. I could not give a higher recommendation, as I have never quite worked with someone who has gone THIS above-and-beyond.

James was awesome and helped us with a strategy that solicited a ton of offers and get us top dollar. He served as a trusted advisor throughout the negotiation process and kept an open and responsive line of communication with us. He had great knowledge of the area and how much we could expect our house to appraise for. The listing and photography kept a revolving door of interest given the short time frame our house was listed. We couldn’t be happier with how the sale of our home went!

From word of mouth, I knew that James was the person to go to when I decided to put my first home up for sale. Shortly after contacting him, my house was on the market and we were under contract after only 3 days (at over asking price!). From start to finish, James demonstrated his determination to fulfill my hopes to the best of his ability. He promptly addressed any concerns that I had, and did so with full transparency, so that I was in no way mislead. If an issue emerged, he tackled it with a positive attitude and always had a backup plan.

“James was in constant weekly contact with us along the way to make sure everything was on schedule to get us to closing. He was a well oiled machine from start to finish. “

James Nay is a great man of integrity & the hardest working dedicated agent I’ve ever dealt with. After trying to sell our outgrown home twice over the last ten years without a single bite, James sold it in two days! At the same time, as our buying agent, James showed us house after house until we  found our forever home. He even wrote the proposal inside our new home on the first viewing to make sure we got the bid in before anyone else. He even bought the fixer upper house next to our old house & let us use his professional dumpster to prepare our home for the new owners.

This was just the beginning. Over the next few months of paperwork, inspections & document signing, James was in constant weekly contact with us along the way to make sure everything was on schedule to get us to closing. He was a well oiled machine from start to finish.

The day before closing, James told us to cancel our professional moving company contract in order to save our money & decided to bring in two of his own trailers & his personal car instead . James spent the next two days helping us move physically move everything on our own. What real estate agent does that?!!! James Nay did.

Our new home is a dream come true & James Nay/River City Elite had a LARGE part in making that dream a reality for us. I only have one real estate agent in my contacts list now that I share with family & friends looking to move. James Nay is simply the best in RVA.

“James listened to everything we needed from a home, he listened to how close we wanted to be to my parents, he answers phone calls/texts any time of the day (LITERALLY) and gets back to you promptly”

I started working with James because my parents recommended him to us. Through out the entire process James was hearing what we wanted out of our dream home. James set up parameters on our home search and I left detailed notes on a majority of searches which in turn made our search a bit more  specific. 2 months into casually looking for a home we saw a house that was too good to be true. Now 3 weeks later my husband and I own our forever home and sooner than we wanted to buy however its PERFECT. James listened to everything we needed from a home, he listened to how close we wanted to be to my parents, he answers phone calls/texts any time of the day (LITERALLY) and gets back to you promptly and he really helped us with the details of everything and being that we currently live 2 hours away he made it so no travel was needed for our deal to close. Were really THANKFUL we had James as our agent.

"When it came down to price and terms he was willing to stand firm with us to ensure we got nothing but the best."

Where do I start. From start to finish James exceeded our expectations. This was my second home buying experience, I wish I had known him for the 1st one. He’s an encyclopedia of knowledge for the Greater Richmond Area, knew every neighborhood, ever street and its history/ future developments which has come in handy. The process was made simple and seamless. Always answered the phone, always responded to texts, even showed us a home with less than an hours notice once. When it came down to price and terms he was willing to stand firm with us to ensure we got nothing but the best. We instantly walked away with the perfect property that we could easily turn around and list at a profit right away. P.S. I’ll give you a call when that time comes James. Thank you for being excellent at what you do.
