I don't know exactly where to begin. The whole process that lead up to selling our property was a total nightmare dealing with bad people with ugly hearts. The idea of finding a realtor weighed heavily on us and though we had already interviewed a few, we didn't feel completely comfortable with any of them and we knew we had to find that special person who would understand our needs, have a sympathetic ear and be able to speak truthfully to us without making promises that couldn't be kept. The realtor we used to find a property for us in Florida did a search for us within their network and came up with Jim, vetting him for us with an excellent track record for previous sales in our area. We arranged to meet with him and within minutes of meeting him and talking, we knew he was the one! Slick shark? No. Knowledgeable and compassionate? Yes. Immediately we felt he was honest and trustworthy and would do whatever it took to get our house sold. We knew that as soon as he left our meeting that those real estate selling gears were turning and he was getting his plan lined up and ready to go. There was not one aspect that we didn't think we could turn to him to get a quick answer for. He was there whenever we needed him and we never had the frustrations of wondering why wasn't he calling us back or he had another client more important. Mr. Jim Winters was everything we could have wanted and his associates and various other team members all performed well and above our expectations. He was able to get an Open House together on very short notice and had sparked enough buyer's interest to schedule an additional two Open Houses within the same week and we went into contract the following week after having multiple offers. He is kind, considerate, knows his business inside and out and is a straight shooter. He will not tell you something that he thinks you want to hear, he will only speak the truth. He really was a miracle worker and I would tell you not to even bother speaking to anyone else. Just give him a call, arrange a meeting and you'll understand why I say the things I do. I will be saying goodbye to a friend when we leave, rather than to an agent that sold our house. Thank you again Jim! read more

I began working with Jim Winters about four years ago when we were considering selling my mother's house in Crown Heights and moving her into an apartment closer to my home in Park Slope. Even after our plans changed Jim was very helpful and knowledgeable about home inspections, prioritizing repairs, etc. So Jim was my go-to guy when I needed to sell my aunt's townhome in Crown Heights two years later. He and his team worked side by side with me throughout the selling process, from finding topnotch people to clear the hoarder house, cart away the loads of trash, make major repairs, on both an emergency basis and as part of a plan to bring the house up to the point where it would sell at the highest rate. He answered all my questions promptly, by email, phone, or text, so I always knew exactly where we were in the selling process. Jim is knowledgeable, responsive, and a very good listener, with creative problem-solving skills. He has a wealth of referrals for any services you might need. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim Winters as a full-service, professional realtor. read more

Jim Winters is a consummate professional. I worked with Jim for several difficult months during the height of the NYC pandemic and he went above and beyond my expectations in marketing and selling my apartment. I had originally worked with another agent who botched several deals and left me completely exasperated and frustrated. I met Jim and I knew right away, he was honest, hardworking, and not just helping me for the commission he might earn. He genuinely cared about me and my situation and helped me every step of the way to sell my apartment. We had the most difficult client, anyone could imagine, who pulled all sorts of last-minute shenanigans and stunts to try and reduce the costs but Jim encouraged me to stay and the course and ultimately we closed on the apartment. My only regret is that I did not hire Jim to start with. I learned a valuable lesson, trust your gut. I cannot recommend Jim enough. He goes above and beyond the call of duty and helped me move forward in the most difficult of circumstances. Thank you, Jim! read more

We had our condo on the market for some time trying to sell. Once we finally got into contract with a qualified buyer, the deal started to fall apart. Unhappy with the situation and our current broker we began looking for a replacement. Jim came highly recommended to us by the few people in this industry that I trusted. Rightfully so, he was incredibly helpful. Super responsive to any request. Jim was always available to my questions or calls even late ones coming from the west coast. All of this and still knowing that he might not get the contract, we still may close with our current broker and previous buyer. He truly seems to care about his clients and in a place like NYC genuine people can be few and far between. If you are looking for an experienced extremely diligent and trustworthy broker I would recommend Jim Winters. read more

Jim and his team were wonderful, from beginning to end. They helped resolve any and all issues that arose, small and large, during the course of preparing my home for sale, and once the open house happened and negotiations with prospective buyers were underway. They helped me find contractors and an attorney. I barely had to do anything at all to prepare for the sale. I was guided every step of the way with precise and simple instructions. Whenever I had a question or doubt, Jim and the other members of his team immediately stepped up and answered everything to my satisfaction. The entire process could not have been smoother. The timing was perfect, and everything happened exactly as anticipated, in fact, even better and faster than we expected. If I ever need a realtor again, I will definitely go to Jim. read more

When my partner and I were thinking about moving within Brooklyn, Jim helped us figure out what our place was worth, and helped us think through all the considerations regarding selling and buying. Then, a couple months later when we received an unexpected, unsolicited offer on our place, Jim was there to help us weigh the offer and figure out the market. When I suggested to Jim that he could split the fee with the buyer's broker, he went against his own financial interest and told me it wasn't the best strategy for making a deal. Throughout this process, Jim was extremely generous in offering his time, expertise and guidance. I was very impressed with his honesty, his integrity and his commitment to excellent customer service. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Brooklyn. read more

Jim worked with us to sell a condo in Gowanus. We have bought and sold 7 properties in the past 17 years and he is by far the best realtor we ever worked with, both congenial and knowledgeable. We got exactly what we hoped for in the sale. He has an incredible knowledge of Brooklyn and the real estate market, great personality, great listener, and great negotiator. We were so glad he was working for us as the sellers ! The buyers were all at a disadvantage by not having him as their realtor. He also helped us look for a condo to buy. We did not end up buying it and it was due to his ethics and deep knowledge that he made us aware of pitfalls and issues that we needed to consider and with his advice we decided to pass. We are not real estate professionals but he is. Go for the best and Jim is your man. read more

My husband and I were ready to make a lifestyle change and sell our Brooklyn apartment to move out of state. Jim was patient and kind, explaining the market, the area and what he felt we needed to do to make the apartment sell at the highest possible price. The fact that Jim knows so many other realtors and has a great reputation truly helped. He held a realtor's open house and then helped us to stage the apartment. He even gave us the name of a painter and cleaning service. He advertised and held two open houses, but was constantly showing the apartment during the week. After only 8 days on the market, we received an all-cash offer of $200,000 over asking price. Jim was strategic and thoughtful. We highly recommend him, you won't regret it! Thank you, Jim! read more

My fiance and I recently bought our first apartment and were so overwhelmed wondering where to start. I'm so happy our first step was a meeting with Jim. Jim went above and beyond the duties of a real estate agent and patiently walked us through every step of the way. Jim was available to connect whenever we needed him; many times later at night after regular working hours and on weekends. He made us feel confident in our decision when we were ready to make an offer because he took the time to talk us through the pros and cons from every angle. Having someone with so much experience in our back pocket made us feel so much more comfortable. We could not be happier with our purchase and we owe the success of the process to Jim! read more

Simply put, Jim is the man.  We could not have been more happy with our experience.

I worked with Jim based on a recommendation from my sister after she bought a house--Jim was representing the seller, and my sister liked him better than her own agent. Jim helped us buy a house in Crown Heights. He was patient, never pressuring us or trying to sell us on a house we didn't love. He was kind and thoughtful, inviting us into his own home to give us ideas and tips for renovation. He was also honest, dependable, and helpful. He's well respected among his colleagues and always ready to refer his clients to good attorneys, architects, contractors, and more. Jim takes pride in his job and is good at it--I recommend working with Jim. read more

We would absolutely recommend Jim for his diligence and extra efforts toward selling our apartment! He is not only a great realtor but also really nice to work with him. read more

Jim brokered the sale of my coop apartment in Brooklyn. He came highly recommended and completely fulfilled expectations. We had no prior experience selling or buying and needed advice and hand-holding. Jim was willing to provide definite opinions on does and don'ts all through the process and I really appreciated that. He came up with truly innovative and effective solutions for staging the apartment under a tight deadline at the height of the spring open house season and was then able to reach a lot of interested buyers. He has low-key charm, patience, humor, experience, motivation-- all that stuff you would want in a broker. read more

Jim listed and sold my parents limestone/brownstone in Crown Heights in Dec of 2016. Jim had the house staged beautifully!We received offers from the 1st open house.
