Jae Kim - Owner/Broker-In-Charge

Testimonials

"Jae has been helping us buy and sell real estate in the greater Columbia and Irmo area for over 8 years. He has helped us find great investment opportunities, has always been knowledgeable about the market and neighborhood and guided us through the process with ease. His reputation among his peers and others in key functional areas of the process (Finance/Service/Construction) have given my wife and I peace of mind through each deal we have done with Jae."

"Jae has helped us buy and sell two homes in the Columbia area. He helped us in all aspects of these transactions. His recommendations for negotiating and making improvements were spot on and definitely helped in the sale of both homes. I cannot recommend Jae highly enough. He is the exact person you're looking for to help buy or sell a home."

"Jae Kim sold our home for us. I tried to list it myself with no success but Jae stepped in and got the job done. He was very knowledgeable about selling our home and answered any questions that we had during the entire process. We did experience a few snags with our home however, Jae resolved it quickly for buyer and seller. Great experience and would highly recommend! If I was selling or buying a home in that area I would defiantly call him!"

"Jae was very easy to work with, he understood our needs and took care of business for us as we were out of state. Jae was very honest and fair. Jae was very good at estimating the value of our home for a list price. I would recommend Jae for any real estate needs"

"Working with Jae was a great experience! He contacted us only when he needed to. My wife and I always felt Jae had our best interest in the forefront of our home purchase process."

"Jae visited my home and made suggestions for preparing it for sale. He provided comparable information in a clear, precise manner that was easy to understand. I have worked with several realtors and brokers over the years, but have never worked with anyone as willing to share information, lend a helping hand, and professional as Jae. Once I completed my prep work, he listed the home and sold it for more than the asking price in 3 days. Not only is Jae a top notch professional, he is a genuinely nice person. Cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Jae was the best realtor we've ever dealt with. He was on top of all the requested repairs, negotiations with sellers' agent, and exhibited a general familiarity with the entire process that put us at ease. As a result, the entire process from viewing to closing was a breeze. We recommend him highly."

"My husband and I called Jae after meeting 4 other agents. Everyone was nice and seemed easy to work with but we were looking for someone to be aggressive in marketing our home. Jae stood out. He was not only nice, down to earth, but smart too. He is very professional, extremely knowledgeable about the market, completelly accessible whenver you have questions or need feedback, and an invaluable resource on real estate advice. He is completely honest with his opinions and gives his advice if you ask but then lets you make the call on what you want to do. He knows what he is doing and has a track record to prove it. He doesn't waste his or your time with things that aren't necessary. Our home was listed at the very end of March, was under contract in May, and we just closed in June. I don't know how many times I felt like I was bothering him with trivial questions, but he never, ever made me feel like I was the least bit annoying with any question I had. He totally understands the relocation process having gone through it many times himself, and therefore I was amazed at how the sale of my first home went without me even being present. My experience with other real estate agents in the area is that they are often adequate, but seem laid back in terms of marketing. Real estate gents should justify the amount of commission they are paid. If you are making money from selling a home that someone else paid for and lived in, then you should earn it. Jae deserves whatever he gets from the transaction - and he doesn't make you feel like your home is the source of his income. He truly wants you to succeed in selling your home. An overall awesome agent (and person in general) who is successful for a reason."

"Jae was the best with the sale of my first home and the purchase of my second home. I had two agents prior to him with my first home who could not sell it and it remained on the market for over a year with both, Jae came in and had it sold in 3 months! He was always available when/if I had questions and never complained no matter how many I had. I recommend Jae to all my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so in the future. If I ever decide to sell the home I am in now, Jae will be the first I call! Thank you again Jae!

"Jae is a great realtor, he is very professional and customer orientated. He will work with your needs and timeframe. He helped me buy a house and two years later sell the same house. Awesome job."

"No other realtor can compare. I am surprised at his work ethic...always responds to me and keeps me informed. He is working with me on the sale of my "un-sellable" lot. Of course he found a buyer. His level of integrity and knowledge of this business is impressive and if you need a lawyer, trust me, do not hesitate to call Jae Kim if you need results. THANKS JAE!!"

"Dear Jae: You sold my house in about 45 days and I still can't believe it. I have been through hell trying to sell my house for close to two years. The prior agent just kept telling me it was the "economy", so I gave up. I accepted the house would have to go to foreclosure because I was tired of fighting it. My daughter suggested I try one more time and she contacted you. If only she had suggested that two years ago - I could have avoided all that grief and not depleted my savings. I am a Jae Kim fan. THANK YOU SIR."

"Cool, thanks again for your help through the process. I will definitely recommend you to any friends looking to buy or sell real estate."

"Jae, Thank you for everything. We enjoyed working with you and are thankful for the quick sale. Our only issue was with this being our first time selling, we didn't always know what to expect in the process after the accepted offer and only at the completion of the sale did we realize that no news is good news. It all went very smoothly, and aside from the emotions involved, it was easier than we anticipated. Thank you again,"
Chad and Lisa

"Thanks for all you did for us, we love our house!"
John and Danette

"Jae, Thanks a ton! As my 12 year old would say, “You ROCK!”"

"I found Jae Kim by accident when I called about a property he was listing. It was under contract already, but I liked his manner. He never once was pushy or reluctant to show me yet another property. As a contrast, I stopped by an open house one day and talked to an agent from another company. I immediately disliked her and her pushy ways. She reminded me of a used car salesman. Without Jae's professionalism and hard work, my home buying experience would have been very different. In fact, the seller said Jae did more for the sale than his own agent. One thing I appreciated most is how Jae handled so many things in the background which allowed me to focus on my job (which was going through some stressful events at the time.) I will definately contact Jae Kim for any future real estate needs. Outstanding job on his part that reflects well on himself and his company."

"Jae was GREAT when we listed our first home and in helping us find a new home. He was full of helpful tips and advice which helped sell our house quickly in a tough market. His knowledge of the local market can't be beaten, along with his superb negotiating skills, friendly manner, and expertise. Jae is also great after the sale; he believes in client relationships and not just making the sale. We were very pleased with our experience and would wholeheartedly recommend the Jae Kim Team to anyone needing real estate services".
Cory

"The Jae Kim Team is an aggressive negotiation group that seeks a win-win situation for all parties involved. They sold my home within 2 weeks of listing after other companies failed to deliver. Without reservation I highly recommend working with Jae Kim when buying or selling your home."
Jason

"After working with another realtor for a few months, we were getting very discouraged with our house hunt. Nothing seemed to be what we wanted and everything seemed to be well beyond our budget. We were very new to the area and had no idea what locations we preferred and our former realtor had stopped working on finding us stuff, relying on us to do all of the finding. We decided to find a new realtor using a realtor locator website. Jae made contact with us and we were immediately impressed by his accomplishments and his ability to understand what we wanted and needed in a house. The very first house he showed us had everything we were looking for and we immediately made an offer. He put us in contact with several trusted and well-priced contractors to do some work around our house and has continued to follow up even after we moved in. Jae really understood what we needed and I highly recommend him!"

"Reshmi and I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help selling our house more quickly than any one could imagine. I've never dealt with a real estate agent that worked harder and was more knowledgeable about market conditions and real estate practices than you and your team. We believe that you were the reason our house sold in such a short time frame (less than one month) and at a very fair price. I would also like to thank you for being so helpful and supportive in a really difficult time. I will definitely recommend you to any friends looking to buy or sell real estate. Thanks again.”
