Testimonials
"We used Jim Augustine of Coldwell Banker to purchase a home and to sell our existing home. This process was a major downsizing for us and involved many hours of examining homes online and in person to find a home that we wanted to live in for the next years of our lives. Jim Augustine was very helpful during this process, doing numerous searches to locate differing types of houses in many different neighborhoods. Jim guided us through the negotiations and closing activities on both our old and new home. His constant monitoring of the process was invaluable for us. "

"I had a wonderful experience working with Mr. Augustine, a well experienced realtor who went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. I am grateful for his knowledge and expertise on helping my family get our first home."
-Sally Hassan, Client
""Jim is an excellent realtor. I highly recommend him to help sell/buy your home in the Plano Area. I had my house listed for months with another realtor and received little interest. After relisting with Jim, he went above and beyond to get a quality listing on the market and we had the house under contract in 3 days from the listing going live. He was very helpful, informative, and diligent during contract/closing process, making the experience very easy. I am very happy with the level of service I received from Jim and loved that I got the price I wanted with limited time on the market.""
