James Weiskerger

If I could give one million stars, I would. I have known James for many years now and a while back, I briefly looked at houses but knew it wasn't the right time. Fast forward, James was there to help and "formally" begin the process with me. I had quite a list of desires that I basically deemed would be impossible to find; yet, James found the perfect home for me! With service unmatched, James and his team of world-class professionals led me through the entire home-buying process without incident. Extremely fast responses whether it be texts, phone calls, or emails, and always an answer for my never-ending list of questions. It matters who you work with. I can't say enough about James, Chrissy, Kelly, and the rest of the team at W Home Group. They truly made this new experience wonderful. Thank you, James!!!  

James was a buyers agent for me in purchasing a home from out of town. We spent many weeks and several trips looking for the right place. He was very astute in perceiving what I needed, and helping me look for it patiently. When I was anxious and willing to overpay for the wrong property, he told me so. He's a straight shooter who communicates concisely and promptly. He also has a high quality staff that is focused on what he values, which is good, prompt service. I give James my highest recommendation as an agent.

The team at Next Step Realty is hands down the absolute best. When we started toying with the idea of moving and selling our first home, we weren't sure what we'd be able to get for our house and what projects we would need to do to get our house on the market. We also weren't exactly sure what we were looking for in our dream home but had been casually perusing the home market for a few months to make our list of must-haves for the new home. Long story short, James and the team are the reason we sold our house and moved into our dream home. We are extremely grateful and we HIGHLY recommend them to anyone even considering moving. We initially met with a set of agents that advised us on a listing price and home repairs which would essentially COST us $15k to sell our house. We were frustrated and disappointed because the likelihood that it was financially responsible to move was going down hill even though we very much felt as though we were psychically out growing our home. That's when we found James. He visited our home, walked around to get a feel for the amenities, (didn't judge the clutter from our family of 5 plus our dog), made recommendations on curb appeal and minor interior improvements that were within our financial means, pulled up a variety of recently sold houses in the area, and immediately gave a rough estimate for our listing price ...which overall was $20k more than the list price of the other set of agents. Despite our skepticism, he was extremely confident and when all said and done, it would actually net us $10-$15k to contribute to buying our new house. Within three days of listing we had 4 requests for showings, 3 actual showings, two offers, and a ratified contract for $15k more than our asking price. We were amazed and I'll be darned if that's not exactly what James said would happen. The team then navigated us through all the inspections, appraisals, and my barrage of questions. When the house appraised for a bit less than the contract price, James and his team negotiated with the buyers so that we split the difference of the financial impact. They did everything within their power to get us to closing on time and on the date initially established.While all this was going on, we had found our dream home but it was slightly out of our budget. James visited it with us, gave his honest opinion while respecting our excitement, and began coaching us. He ultimately helped us buy our dream home for $20k less than their listed price with 3% back in closing cost assistance. In full disclosure, we questioned things a lot. The team was very patient with our questions and provided responses and guidance often within minutes of my initial request. We also shopped around and did our own research but we wound up using the full team of folks James recommended (lender, inspectors, etc.). I don't regret that decision one bit. Their rates were competitive and reasonable and the customer service was outstanding. We closed on our dream house on a Friday and sold our first home on the following Tuesday, on the dates that were initially established. Thanks to the knowledge, expertise, negotiating skills, and customer service of the team James has built, we managed to successfully move our family of two full time-working adults, three elementary aged kids, and a large family dog to our new oasis within our time frame and budget. They made it WAY easier than I'd have ever imagined and helped control the crazy that goes along with moving your whole life from one place to another. I'm extremely grateful and I cannot recommend James, Chrissy, and the rest of the Next Step Realty team enough.  

James and his team did an amazing job helping me with my purchase of my new home. Everyone on his team is very helpful, friendly and there to help you especially Kourtney and Chrissy. I would recommend anyone I know to use them and they have a customer for life!

James and the W group did an amazing job for me and my family. We used them in both buying and selling our property. James made it very easy for us on both ends. I had to leave out of town quickly for work and James had his team handle all the repairs, paint and clean up to get the house listed and sold. We essentially just moved our stuff and handed them the keys, they handled everything and got us an unbelievable deal on our home when we sold it. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

James W was PHENOMENAL! He was extremely prompt when I reached out in hopes to sell my home. Not only did James and his team (Chrissy) sell the house in a short time, he was able to get my house sold for well over asking. It was a flawless and stress free experience. I will be using him when I go to buy my next home and I would recommend to anyone.

This is the second time I have used James as my realtor and I'm so glad I did. We listed my house and had 2 offers the next day!! We were able to close within a month and that was such a relief. James kept me informed on every detail through calls or emails. He responded almost immediately when I contacted him. No waiting, no guessing on what was coming. He made sure that I got the best deal possible and eliminated any unnecessary steps for me to complete. I have recommended James twice now to other friends. He is the best!! Love love love his work ethic and honesty! Cant say enough good things about him.  

I worked with James and Ally to find my first home and the company made my experience as easy as possible! James really took the time to walk we me through the process and find the options and neighborhoods that best fit me. We searched for months and the team never gave up. Ally met me day and nights all over PG county and Anne Arundel county until we found the right one! James has a person for everything and a gut/experience I trust. The team operates with the utmost professionalism and the I would recommend James and his staff to anyone and everyone and will use them for my next purchase!

James helped us buy our new home at a great price and also sell our existing home, in 4 days!, for more than our asking price. Rock star.
