Bill and I have worked together for over 15 years on various projects and the collaboration has been very successful.
- Kent Bagley
Bill is one of Denver’s brightest real estate experts. He has a complete understanding of the city and what makes property investments work. Not only does Bill offer expertise, his level of service goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Bill for any commercial developer or property owner.
- Chris Coble
Bill James and his company, James Real Estate Services, provides timely and competent appraisal services. I have used JRES several times over the years and I found their work to be very well done. Their assertions are fully supported and their overall results are realistic. Bill’s experience in transportation in the Cherry Creek area of Denver, as well as his board membership with the RTD gives him special insight to transportation related issues and how it can impact values. This company is a pleasure to deal with and I would certainly continue to draw on their expertise whenever opportunities arise.
- Harold Goldback
I have hired Bill James on several occasions to evaluate our markets. As an operator and developer of multi-family rental housing, I rely on Bill’s dependable results to determine the most competitive rents and to ensure success on the most complex transactions. I appreciate Bill’s high level of professionalism. His reports are timely and accurate, and he is an all around pleasure to work with.
- Hud Karshmer
Bill and I have worked together for over 20 years. I stay in touch through his newsletters (which are the best in town) and welcome his referrals.
He is one of the best appraisers and networkers in the Denver Metropolitan area. His staff is top notch and capable of any type of feasibility study or appraisal required across all CRE sectors.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bill and his staff for any appraisal work.- Rick Erickson
I have worked with Bill on residential real estate appraisals in the Aspen and Snowmass Village markets (a market where the average price of single family residences is well over $5 million, and we have a number of $20 million-plus properties). I have found Bill to be not only thorough, but thoughtful in his approach to appraising residences. I appreciate his willingness to increase his understanding of the property and marketplace by listening to information and taking that into account as necessary. I have given Bill referrals on complex properties or situations that I was unable to accept, and I look forward to working with him again.
- Susan Ebert-Stone, SRA
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bill regarding both real estate valuation and his work for our community in re: his service to the RTD board. In both cases he is uncommonly thorough and well informed and able to share his vast knowledge for the benefit of the transaction at hand as well as the needs of our RTD. And, he is more than reasonable to work with…a true professional!
- David Clamage
I hired Bill to provide real estate appraisal work for one of my clients. Bill’s work was timely, professional and highly credible. He demonstrated the kind of attention to detail and quality of service that make him a top flight appraiser in the Denver market.
- Glenn Merrick
Bill was an active and respected leader in the Appraisal Institute when I was CEO there, and served on committees that oversaw qualifications for the MAI designation. His work as an appraiser and consultant is held in high regard by his peers and clients. I would enjoy the opportunity to work with him again.
- John Ross
Bill is the guy you go to when property valuation and appraisal work has to be right the first time. His impeccable reputation with the lenders for in-depth, timely and clear support for his conclusions, is what helps our brokerage and investments transactions get done.
