Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living

I’ve been around the block a few times. Actually, I’ve been around a few blocks! I’ve never felt that I’ve had as many resources, people to collaborate with and positive culture as I do at Ocean Living. Although some of it is the framework that KW provides, the people here make it an office worth coming to when days are good or bad, easy or tough. We are successful professionals with a heart. I like that.

Great company to work for and amazing coworkers that go the extra xtra step when you have questions. What other company can you work for and have ready willing people to help show houses or host your open houses! Love where you work and you never work a day at n your life!

I recently worked with James to be my realtor to sell my home and I could not be more satisfied with his dedication and knowledge in real estate. James went above and beyond to assist me in my first time sale of a home, answering any inquiry that I had as well as explaining all the steps along the way.

James showed up early to our first meeting, coming prepared with useful metrics as well as easy to digest information that explained my options and best course of action to get the sale of home completed quickly and properly. He is professional but also down to earth with a good sense of humor.

James was always available and reachable, even going above and beyond as I was no longer living in the home. He made it a stress free experience, assisting me with matters that otherwise would require me to be at the house.

James made the entire process simple with his dedication and superb ability as a real estate agent. I could not recommend him enough and if you are looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable realtor with a great personality look no further than James Ward.

My wife and I spent years saving for our first home. I am sure a lot of you have done the same.... and let me guess you want that home to be perfect. Well us too! After finally deciding to buy a home in the shore area of Brick, we thought we could do it on our own. We went to multiple open houses and nothing fit. So we decided to reach out to James “the wizard” Ward. We landed on our first home and absolutely loved it. We trusted in James with everything and it’s not as easy as putting in an offer and just moving in. There is a lot that goes into negotiating price, leveraging what needs to be fixed, setting up appointments, recommendations for lender/insurance, and keeping a timeline and checklist. James knows it all. This is what you want, someone with experience selling hundreds of homes. Nothing will get past him, you don’t want any late surprises. You don’t want a realtor that simply doesn’t know. James knows the market, knows what is negotiable, and knows how to inform you that you are getting a good deal or not. We could not be happier with our first home. We truly want to thank James and his team for making this a reality!

When we met James, we had strong ideas about what we wanted but not the exact location it should be in. James showed us houses from Rumson to Brick and everything in between. During the process, we had one deal fall apart and the one we ultimately purchased had several issues. Throughout, James was diligent and responsive to our questions and concerns and as needed, connecting us to outside professionals. Over the years we have bought several houses but working with James made this one of our best experiences. We would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family.

Brendan Tighe of Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living is an absolute pleasure to work with! He quickly got the feel for what we wanted in our first home. He's got a great personality and strong communication skills and kept us up to date with everything. When buying your first house, there is a lot of unknowns and can be confusing, but he made it a really easy and more enjoyable process. He helped us land our first home, which is incredibly beautiful! We are so happy we chose Brendan to work with and will be our realtor of choice for any future endeavors. If you are looking to work with someone who cares for your needs and works nonstop to get you the house you want, then I would highly consider working with Brendan!

From the first interview with James I knew he was going to be the Realtor I would be working with for my transaction. His level of professionalism, his presentation and knowledge he provided was outstanding. James was there to help throughout and was such an asset who handled everything for me since I do not live in the State any longer. Knowing I could rely on him was the best comfort and put me at ease.

I contracted James Ward for the sale of my condo in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. My condo was on sale several times before with no success. James worked with me to determine a suitable sale price and other accommodations that included the final CO and furniture sale. Together, we worked with a serious prospect that eventually we negotiated with to come up with an equitable price. After buyers committed, the process took 30 days to close. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and James work !

Before my husband and I began our search for our first home, we were very nervous as we have heard horror stories of searches taking months and even years. James was always on top of sending us the most up to date listings based on what we were looking for. He was always willing to make time to show us houses, even on the weekend. He was very prompt in answering our emails and never complained when we bombarded him with questions. He made the experience of buying our first home a very pleasurable one and we are thankful for everything he did for us!

James Ward was a pleasure to deal with. He is professional and always accessible. We have always wanted a house at the Jersey shore and he found our dream home! It was a lengthy process on our part, but James continued to be patient always going above and beyond with any question or concern. Not being from the area he has been invaluable helping us to navigate the area and always meeting our needs. We could not be happier.

James Ward from Keller Williams is outstanding! we had a great experience and he really made it easy for us to find the perfect second home. Professional, knowledgeable and patient. He was really on our side from day 1 through closing, and still helping us settle into the area"

James went to bat for my family and totally delivered. It was a rough sale(no fault of James), he remained positive through the entire process when I(my family) were discouraged and ready to call it quits. I would recommend James to all!

Mike H and his team are the best. Attention to detail and knowledge of the real estate market made for a wonderful home buying experience. I am so pleased with the entire transaction. Professional and friendly, a true gem in a world of shady characters.

James is a great realtor whether you are selling or buying. He listens to you and works to satisfy your requirements. He’s not looking to make a sale but rather find you exactly what you are looking for. He puts your needs over everything.

James has helped my husband and I find tenants this past summer and for the entire off season!!!! WOW He made himself available for our little questions and never made us feel that our questions were not important. Thanks, James!

Stefanie help us find the perfect house down the shore. She knows the area and was very responsive. We appreciate her friendly demeaned and guidance during the transaction.

James was helpful and knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to take care of my property while on the market. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I would highly recommend James Ward as a realtor. He was never pushy, and was always realistic about expectations. He was always on top of his game.

We would highly recommend James to all friends and family!

Excellent experience, talented caring agents
