Jim Mack has sold two houses into tough markets for me since 2007. He’s not the cheapest agent you will find, but he’s one of the top agents in the SFV and he gets results when nobody else can. In 2007, I made the mistake of listing with a neighbor, just because we knew her. For three months, nothing happened. I found Jim, and we started getting offers right away. In one of the worst markets in living memory, he held a very fragile deal together until it closed. In 2011, he sold our house in Winnetka in three weeks. If you list with Jim, you’ll be homeless before you can blink, so start packing the same day.
