James Schutz

"Knowing that I wanted to move to a newer home, I looked off-and-on for several years and used several different Realty Firms, but I never found what I wanted, even though I explained my desires to the agents. As an Engineer & Scientist, I felt I could explain my needs very well, but the agents did not seem to understand. When I realized that you, as a Realtor, had Engineering degrees from M.I.T., I called and asked if I gave you a set of 5 or 6 written specifications for the features I wanted in a home, could you limit any MLS information and visits to this small sub-set of current MLS homes. You took only a minute to think about it, and responded “Yes, I think I could do that for you.” In the next few weeks we looked at several homes that were close to what I desired, found one, and made an offer. Unfortunately it had been put on contract shortly before my offer was received. Nothing surfaced for the next 5 months, until I received an email from you that said you thought this matched my “specs.” You were right-on! I made an offer and had it on contract within a week of when it was listed. I enjoy my newer home in Louisville thanks to your excellent skill and knowledge in understanding the customer’s needs."

"To whom it may concern; This note has to do with Jim Schutz, whom I am proud to call my friend and my Real Estate agent. Having bought and sold countless properties around the United States, I was skeptical about using a friend instead of an agent - Thinking back to the many days, weeks, months and years we have known Jim, it occurred to me the best person to have on your team is a professional agent. As a bonus, a friend. Clearly, I have the best of both worlds in that with each deal we have consummated, I have not had to look over my shoulder just to make sure every detail was proper, correct and did not place us in some sort of inherent danger; financially or otherwise. I learned very quickly, the very same attributes which became the very foundation for my friendship with Jim, quickly became the foundation of my business relationship with Jim! In a few words, you just can not have a better man watching out for you!! Always diligent; always punctual; always professional; always honest and hardworking and not afraid to bring the good as well as the bad to the table, I learned I could depend on Jim the agent, as I had become accustomed to depending on Jim my friend. I would not make a move without consulting Jim. Even as I was forced to try another agent, I quickly made the change back and issued an ultimatum to the seller - NO JIM - NO DEAL! I quickly realized there is a really big difference in the agents who pretend to call themselves full-service agents..... On the last deal, Jim stepped in to review another deal for me and as a favor, pointed out just a few of the issues. He was able to save me a ton of money, plus allowed me to side-step some very serious and dangerous potholes which the other so-called agent had simply overlooked.. Fortunately, Jim saved me from myself. In doing so, just confirmed what I already knew. For anyone considering a sale, a purchase, a listing, or or just wanting to get some advice from a straight forward, honest guy - Jim Schutz is the guy... Look no further..."

"I’ve known Jim for several years and would highly recommend him to anyone trying to navigate through a real estate transaction in these troubled times. His analytical background has prepared him well to understand this constantly changing market. There are no simple transactions today so now more than ever it is essential to have a realtor who is smart, honest, educated and capable of understanding the large picture as well as the small details of each and every transaction. James Schutz is that type of realtor."
