"In a few words: hard working, knowledgeable, helpful, fun, from day one to moving in."

Jim Casey represented the successful one-of-a-kind marketing and sale of our home closing in October 2015. The Rock House, the first residential Burbank Landmark designated in 2009 has been the center of much dialogue and controversy about market values involving historical properties in Burbank. Putting this controversy to rest, Jim is the sole realtor in Burbank to sell landmarked residences, the Rock House being the second to sell, and both historic homes sold above asking price. Jim has extended his expertise beyond the frame of knowledge typical for most realtors with a distinctive ability to identify and market the value of not only the property itself, but also the unique financial returns for a potential historic home buyer over time. Not only is he a commissioner on the Burbank Heritage Commission but he is the only Burbank realtor who has taken advantage of the Burbank Planning Department’s landmarking program training. Since that training several years ago, he has become the expert on landmarking processes and associated programs in relationship to real estate transactions. During the sale, Jim had the uncommon ability to fairly represent both the seller and the buyer offering options that would bring equitable and financial benefit to both parties resulting in a timely closing. And when all is said and done, Jim is completely and personally dedicated to the individual needs of his clients.

I would highly recommend this energetic, professional young realtor. His knowledge is vast. He was always there for us on a moment's notice. My husband and I have had many homes throughout our lifetime, but never have we had a realtor as professional as Jim Casey.

I am so grateful to you for who you have been in this whole process. It appears you were able to work quickly and thoroughly in a way that also took the emotional and physical burden off of Joyce. That is huge. You have accommodated us in reducing the expenses to place it on the market and in getting the highest, safest offer. The way you have taken into consideration just how vulnerable we have been and how we have wanted to keep alive the integrity of our mother is very commendable and appreciated. I am pleased you will be able to make copies of your HomeBook for Jan and me. It really is very impressive and you should be very proud of how you represent your clients. You are awesome! Thanks again Jim for everything.

"We purchased our first house with Jim’s help. Jim has been an amazing realtor from start to finish. Not only did he work hard for us to purchase our new house at a right price, but his knowledge on general house repair and remodeling has been a tremendous resource for the first time home buyer. I wholeheartedly recommend Jim as a competent and responsive realtor."

We’ve all heard nightmares about siblings trying to sell their parents’ home after they pass. With 5 siblings and one living out of state, this could have been another. I’m happy to say our decision to hire Jim Casey made the process easy and understandable, especially when any of my siblings had questions. Jim took charge of the situation and ran with it. He always listened to everything we had to say, and acted according. When there was a problem he handled it so quickly it never mounted to anything and he always kept all of us informed. My family and I could not have been happier with the outcome and with Jim Casey.

From our very first home to our current one, Jim has led us to exactly what we wanted. And he did it with the utmost grace and professionalism. I couldn't recommend him more highly for people who take comfort and pride in the house that becomes their home.

Thank you again for your management of my home purchase in Pasadena. I appreciated your experience and guidance in this convoluted process. You helped me formulate a winning strategy in a busy home market and I am delighted with my new home. Truth be told, I knew I wanted to live here the first time I saw this place and you helped make that happen. Your professional approach with a relatively inexperienced selling broker and an emotional buyer were the keys in my opinion to getting this deal done. Thank you again Jim and I will be sure to recommend you to anyone I hear of who wants a dedicated and experienced real estate professional on their side to find their new home.

Working with Jim is a pleasure. When you are actively searching he makes you his #1 priority and makes the process fast and easy. He has a deep knowledge of home repair/construction so proves to be a great resource when trying to ball park renovation options and costs. Most importantly, he is fully versed in all California real estate matters and even if he doesn't know, he has a referral to someone that can assist. His affable nature is especially helpful in dealing with listing agents and helping them come to the best outcome for all parties.

“Working with Jim Casey is a pleasure. I feel comfortable around him and I can trust him with the information that he provides me with. His positive attitude lessens the stress that I as a client have. I enjoyed this experience and would definitely look forward to working with him again. I would recommend him to my family and friends.”

"Jim Casey had to be the most perfect realtor. Besides his access to virtually every house currently, or soon to be for sale, he made it easy to find a home in a neighborhood that exceeded my criteria. As a first time buyer the whole process was made incredibly easy to understand, by taking comfort in Jim streamlining the contacts for mortgages and escrow. At no moment did I feel Jim had pushed me to make a decision. His experience in realty and common sense knowledge allowed me top choice by the sellers even when there were higher bids. At the same time he was always available, even with my busy schedule and unusual work hours. I strongly recommend Jim Casey to anyone looking to purchasing a home."

His skills in dealing with people are remarkable and his integrity always shines through. His priority from start to finish is always what’s in the best interest of his clients. For me it was comparable to having a trusted friend or family member who you could call for anything. I cannot recommend more highly Jim Casey as an outstanding agent who manages to do an amazing job with integrity and total commitment to his clients. It was an honor working with him and I have every confidence that he will continue to excel and be successful in real estate.

Jim's actions and results speak louder than any words of recommendation He has a great outlook, a good sense of humor, and was an invaluable resource in our home selling process. He was immediately available to answer all our questions and concerns at all times in person, by phone, and e-mail. Even when dealing with a challenging seller and buyer, Jim was able to see us through to a fair deal that all parties found satisfying.

We want to thank you for the numerous late evenings, weekends and holidays that you spent keeping this on track and guiding us through the whole process. Without your patience, understanding and professionalism we might not have seen this through. We will gladly recommend your services to anyone looking for a real estate professional with the knowledge and know-how to prepare, market and SELL their property in a professional, timely and caring manner. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you would like us to discuss our experience with a prospective client. It is with our pleasure that we recommend you as an excellent agent, with your honesty and integrity we are sure you will continue to be successful in the Real Estate Market.

Selling my home was more stressful than I anticipated. I appreciate Jim’s wisdom & honesty when dealing with so many people who may not have had the highest ethical standards. I did feel he shared his wisdom and that helped decrease some of my stress and anxiety. Thanks so much.

I would like to thank you for everything you did to expedite the selling of my (deceased) sisters’ house. You listed, sold and closed the house in about 50 days. You handled everything, from arranging the termite tenting to getting all the necessary permits that the city of El Monte (and others) required. The fact my sister had lived in the house 45 years added to the paper work. I will certainly refer you to anyone in S. California who wants a “Seller” not a “Lister”. It has been a pleasure working with you during what could have been a difficult time. Thank you again.

Jim Casey made our home buying experience stress free and fun. He was very knowledgeable about the market and explained the process in great detail. We were first time home buyers and he patiently answered any questions and took care of all our concerns. We never had the feeling that he wanted to sell us something just to get the commission. We heard horror stories about other real estate agents from friends and were so pleased that we found Jim Casey. We ended up finding our dream house for a super deal. Thanks Jim

Jim was such a pleasure to work with! Not only is he hard working, experienced and knowledgeable about real estate, but he is very competent, clear, articulate, and driven. These attributes alone make him the perfect salesman, but he is also a kind, persevering, sincere, dignified human being with integrity. There are endless complimentary adjectives to use to describe him!

We recently had the opportunity to have Jim Casey represent us on the sale of our home in Burbank, Ca. We also had the experience of having Jim as our agent on the purchase of our new home a year later. There really is no replacement for experience. Jim has had many years of success in real estate, and we truly benefited from all of his expertise. The sale of our home, one we had occupied for 33 years could not have been any smoother. Jim suggested that we use the “auction” format for our sale, and it worked perfectly, just the way he said it would. One key place that we feel Jim demonstrated his experience and knowledge was in advising us on the best offer to make for our purchase. He suggested an offer that would likely be accepted, without a counter. His calculation was perfect, and we were able to purchase our dream home for $25K less than the listing price on a home that had just hit the market. In today’s changing real estate market, that was a real win. Jim is always upbeat, positive, and professional. He was available for any questions we had years before we sold our home and during both transactions, and we truly appreciate his hard work, honesty, and integrity.
