Recommendations & Reviews
"It was about one year from our first meeting that we engaged James Flint as our commercial real estate agent for the sale of our multi-family property in Cocoa Beach, FL. From the first impression through the multiple stages of relationship building, James has been incredibly impressive.
...Among the numerous positive traits possessed by James - hardworking, fair, genial, intelligent and knowledgeable – I rate trust as the key factor in our relationship. Our trust in James and his mutual respect and trust in our judgement and concerns, was ever present. Thank you, James, for your efforts and the results."

"You absolutely want to do business with James.
I have conducted two out of state real estate investment purchases though James and in both cases, he went way beyond expectations.
...He always had my back in terms of identifying and evaluating properties, negotiating with the sellers, and helping to setup remote property management. There are lots of details in such transactions and James stays on top of everything.
More importantly, James is absolutely trustworthy. He does what he says in a timely fashion and is alert on my behalf for any “surprises”.
In a world where such attributes are uncommon, you cannot find a better real estate professional than James."
"Using a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest possible score, we would rate James a 10. That rating is based on the professionalism, drive and energy James displayed in selling our property. James is extremely thorough, detail-oriented, an excellent communicator both verbally and in written form, and reserved but somewhat aggressive with sales. He listened to us every step of the way. He made many suggestions in getting the property staged for sale. He recommended a roofer for making minor roof repairs and a carpenter to replace some worn out boards in the carport. Both individuals responded quickly to James’s call.
James is very knowledgeable in appraising properties, suggesting a reasonable price to expect for the sale, and working diligently to achieve that selling price. His ongoing market research was very helpful in determining a starting and final price. His newsletter that he distributes is very informative and helpful in assessing trends in the commercial real estate business.
We would highly recommend James Flint as a commercial real estate agent because he goes above and beyond other real estate agents with whom we have worked."

"I am pleased and honored to provide this letter of recommendation for James Flint.
I have known James for more than 10 years. During that time I was his banker, providing deposit and loan services to both his business, and to him personally. He always provided us with information on a timely basis, ran his business with integrity and honesty, and most important, always handled his obligations with us in an exemplary manner.
I can personally attest to James' trustworthiness, excellent character, and outstanding reputation..."
"...when I met James, I was impressed right from the start. He was very thorough in gathering the details of my requirements, and seemed to have a much better grasp of the variables to consider. He had access to sellers, and other data, that I and the others did not. His market research was invaluable in determining a fair market price for each property we were considering.
...over the course of my relationship with James, I felt he was always looking out for my best interest. I totally trusted his judgment. His guidance and attention to detail was invaluable during the due-diligence and closing process.
In the end, I was very happy with the results. I felt that James went well above and beyond what I would have expected from a real estate agent. I would highly recommend James as your commercial real estate broker, as he is an experienced professional you can trust to be your advocate."
