As a seller, Jim was a pleasure to work with. He represented his buyers very professionally at every step of the way. His experience shows in the way he represents the buyers' interests while maintaining a positive relationship with the seller.

As first time home buyers, we couldn’t be more thankful for Jim’s expertise! He broke down the process for us and taught us so much along the way! We are so happy with the outcome!

Jim was a fantastic agent to buy with. For each home we viewed, he performed a mini-inspection so that I was well aware prior to making an offer of the difficulties I might have with the house in the future. He also brought comps to each viewing so I could carefully consider real pricing for each home. I felt like he let me make my own decisions while helping me to have all the information I needed to make a good decision.I had a very difficult purchase because of various communication issues on the other end, but Jim helped me to make smart decisions to protect my finances and interests. Jim was a voice of patient reason in the midst of those stressful negotiations and I am very thankful he was on my side. I have purchased a home before and I know that my prior agent would not have handle...

Jim was INCREDIBLE to work with. His knowledge of homes in general and what to look for when purchasing a home was invaluable, as was his knowledge about the various neighborhoods we searched. Jim only works with those who are buying homes, not selling, so he is fully on your side as a buyer 100% of the way.He was easy to communicate with, easy to reach, AND we could not have been happier with the offer he helped us make (which was accepted!)Jim also has lists of excellent resources for qualified companies to help with and fixes or services you may need once your home is purchased.If you want someone in the Columbus area who is knowledgeable every step of the way, Jim is your guy!

I worked with the Homebuyer's Advocate this past summer as a first-time buyer needing to move to Columbus. Jim was simply fantastic -- patient, smart, a good negotiator, technologically savvy, VERY nice to work with, ALWAYS prompt about returning calls etc., flexible for a weird schedule I had, and with superior attention to detail. Also because he's an exclusive buyers agent there's never any doubt he's 100% on your side. I don't think you could go wrong working with Jim (or anyone under his supervision as a broker). - Will E., Columbus

Jim was FANTASTIC to work with! He was very knowledgeable about homes, how they were built, and what to look for when buying a home. One of the perks I liked about Jim was that he doesn't sell any houses. He only helps people buy! So you know there are no conflicts of interest, and he's never trying to push you towards houses listed by any specific realty company. Jim is absolutely a professional in his field, and he was SO nice too. Great Realtor! Great Guy!

Jim was the best realtor we ever could have asked for. Any questions we had, every step along the way, he was there for us. I would recommend to anyone looking to buy a house- he is 100% the guy you want to help you. Thank you, Jim for everything you did for us. -Robert & Kristen

Working with Mr. Deskins was a really enjoyable experience. His expertise in working with first time homebuyers is invaluable. Having worked with other brokers, Jim's ability to explain things, highlight things you should be looking for, and his attention to detail really separate him from other brokers. I'd strongly recommend him, especially to first time buyers.

As first time home buyers we had so many questions. Jim was very thorough and helpful through the entire process. We highly recommend him!!

Jim (James) Deskins is INCREDIBLE. It was night and day difference with him vs other realtors we've used. He is honest, he is thorough, he genuinely wants to help people vs make sales, and his knowledge/experience is extensive. We will go to him again if possible!
