I first contacted James Lamb a couple of years ago, tentatively looking for a house in Baltimore as a first-time buyer. He was very responsive and took the time to listen to me. I chickened out and appreciated that he was understanding. In early February 2016, I found a potential house and contacted him immediately. He put me in touch with an equally wonderful mortgage banker and we got the ball rolling. We just closed on the house March 21st. It took just a little over a month and I couldn't be happier. James was instrumental in making the process go very smoothly. He was knowledgeable, responsive, encouraging, supportive, and professional. He's very friendly, which goes a long way toward putting people at ease, especially during the potentially stressful process of purchasing a home. James is a tremendous resource, being a life-long resident of Baltimore, as well as having considerable experience as a realtor. If I asked James a question, he had the answer or found the answer quickly (and I asked a lot of questions). It's so important to have confidence in a real estate agent and he fosters that confidence. It was truly a pleasure working with James Lamb and I won't hesitate to call him again or refer him to anyone in the market to buy or sell real estate.
