I've had the pleasure of working with Jim McQuade for the past few years as a real estate photographer, and I can't recommend him highly enough! Jim is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to delivering exceptional results for his clients. Over the dozens of homes we've worked on together in the Orlando area, he has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. His commitment to providing top-notch service and his deep understanding of the market make him a standout in the real estate industry. It's always a great experience working alongside him, and I look forward to many more successful collaborations in the future!

The Realtor you want on your side if you’re looking for success.
I was looking for a second, investment home in Orlando, when I found Jim.
Living in my Miami, my knowledge of the Orlando market was meager. The only information I had, came from online sources, and this is never sufficient, I later found out. Regardless, I naively selected an area to begin making offers there.
I decided to call Jim just in case. Just on the first talk, it was obvious the area I had selected was a mistake. Jim was impressively knowledgeable and steered me away from a potential bad investment. His ‘boots-on-the-ground’ knowledge made me realize the importance of having someone local to area with investing experience. Jim himself being an investor.
Subsequently, he helped me select a more ‘safe’ area (lower investment risk). Worked out several deals with the sellers that worked in my favor, provided me with contacts for contractors, roofers, lenders, title companies, etc. Basically helped me build a team.
And after all this, only on our second offer, I closed on my first investment property.
I recommend Jim for all the above reasons but also because he is a great realtor and better person.
However, don’t take my words as truth without verifying for yourself first - call Jim and find out.

Jim and his team were incredible to work with! From the moment we met him, it was clear he had a deep understanding of the market and a passion for what he does. He stood out among the other realtors we interviewed, not only for his expertise but also for his straightforward and honest communication. Throughout the process, he kept us informed with clear, fact-based advice that made every decision easier. Selling our home was a breeze thanks to Jim’s professionalism and dedication. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Jim and his team were absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire process of selling our home. Out of the four realtors we interviewed, Jim stood out for his unmatched market knowledge and contagious enthusiasm. He is a true professional—a straight shooter who backs up every claim with hard facts, leaving no room for guesswork. Jim made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and rewarding. His dedication, expertise, and clear communication were a breath of fresh air. I can’t recommend Jim and his team highly enough—they truly went above and beyond!

Jim’s service was top notch throughout. He is a wealth of information and guided me through every step of the process. I was able to conduct the entire purchase transaction without even stepping foot into the state because he handled everything - from video walkthroughs, providing contacts for contractors, property managers, mortgage brokers, etc. He became more than just a realtor, he truly became a trusted friend and resource and I could not have done this nearly as easily without him!

Our family had the privilege of working with Jim McQuade to sell our home and purchase a new one. Jim’s extensive knowledge of real estate is impressive, but it’s his exceptional communication skills that truly set him apart. He was always available to clarify any questions we had, advocated for us when necessary, and kept us informed throughout the process.
We are incredibly grateful for how Jim and his team took care of us every step of the way. If you’re looking for a Realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and is committed to their best interests, we highly recommend Jim. His expertise and support were invaluable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor on this journey. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, Jim is the one to call!

This review is a honest statement of my experience with Jim McQuade. He is a Super professional, very knowledgeable, and over all and most importantly he is a very kind, honest, fair and good person. We had a recently transaction where we had some ups and downs that did not depend on us, and still somehow he managed to keep all together always maintaining our clients goals in first place. I will recommend Jim 200% to anyone in need of assistance to buy or sell real estate. Thank you Jim.

We recently purchased a property in Florida and we couldn't have asked for a better experience thanks to Jim's expertise and dedication. Being in PST zone and buying virtually, we were skeptical and uncertain if we end up with the right house. From start to finish, Jim demonstrated exceptional communication skills, understanding our needs and timeline perfectly. Throughout the process, he provided timely updates through video tours and texts, addressing all our concerns and questions promptly. His transparency and professionalism earned our trust, making us feel confident in our decision. His knowledge of the local market and negotiation skills were invaluable. We highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled realtor. His commitment to customer satisfaction is genuine, and we're grateful for his guidance.
Thank you, Jim, for making our dream of owning a Florida property a reality!
