    My Client Testimonials

    Working with Jim Burke was a successful, streamlined and efficient experience! During my house hunt I worked with a few realtors over the course of about six months. While working with the first couple of realtors I was seeing a few houses a month and wasn't finding any luck on possible purchases. I was getting frustrated with the others that I had been working with because as I was hitting a time crunch and my sense of urgency grew, the other realtors I was working with seem discouraged and uninterested. I met with Jim and explained my situation to him and he was very receptive to what I was looking for and the limited amount of time I had. He was flexible with setting up appointments and we were able to see multiple houses a day, multiple times a week. If you are motivated to buy, this man is motivated to find you a new place to call home! After six months of looking and only 1 month of looking with Jim, I am settling into my new home and I couldn't be more grateful for this man's hard work. Thank you, Jim! - New Homeowner: Clinton, NJ
    It has been about a month now that we closed on our new home, and we wanted to thank you for helping us find OUR perfect home! We are loving our new home and enjoying the views. The kids are still super-stoked about the house and are filling every room with joy as they play and run around. Also, we want to thank you gifts in the form of home depot gift card and bottle of wine, It helped with the costs of door locks and guards to keep the kids indoors. The latter came in handy for celebrating our home. Lastly, thanks for your patience in dealing with first time home buyers like us, walking us through the process. working closely and diligently with our mortgage lender. You definitely made the home buying process run smoothly in spite of the chaotic experience(s) with our lender. We'll be referring you to our friends because of your outstanding service. We look forward to hosting you soon. Sincerely, Wale
    It was such a pleasure to work with Jim Burke of ERA Central on an incredibly smooth transaction during these unprecedented times. Both buyers and sellers were thrilled with the results of our cooperation and professionalism. Jim was always pleasant and responsive and I would be delighted to work with him again!
