James did an excellent job for us. He has a strong knowledge of the local market including the various price points and how they are financed. He was able to provide solid data that helped us price our property correctly for market conditions. Once we were priced, he had a detailed marketing plan for the property and effectively executed it. Beyond the hard skills, James was very easy to work with on a personal basis and went above and beyond. Always available and responsive. Made sure we were informed of the current status. He even went to check on our property when the water company reported an unusual usage to us and we were not in town. Overall, I would highly recommend James and would definitely work with him again.

James Dienes is an excellent real estate agent. He was tentative and took care of every problem I encountered from start to finish. He is also very knowledgeable about the area and knows where to find many of the services new home buyers will need. With his knowledge, James simplified the process steps significantly all the way to closing.

My wife and I had been searching for our dream home for years, working with several agents along the way. Unfortunately, many of them added little value to the process, leaving us to do most of the work ourselves. That all changed when we found James through Redfin. From our very first conversation, James put us at ease with his professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for our goals. As attorneys, we can be meticulous and demanding clients, but James and his team exceeded every expectation. He didn’t just go through the motions—he truly went to bat for us. James provided invaluable guidance throughout the process, offering thoughtful recommendations, clear dos and don’ts, and a level of advocacy that made us feel confident every step of the way. When it came time to place an offer,... Show More

James has been amazing throughout this whole buying process. He's accessible, communicative, knowledgeable, and very personable. As a single female buying a condo on my own, it's an intimidating process, and James made it easy. I really felt like he had my best interests in mind. I would definitely recommend him to anyone shopping for a home in the Palm Springs area.

James is awesome! I am a first time home buyer. James helped me through the entire process. He was always available for any questions I had, even outside of normal work hours. He has great connections from being in this industry for so long and has a very good understanding of all the processes involved. He is very patient and communicates well. He always prioritize the client's needs. He is great at evaluating properties and negotiating for the client. While home buying may seem daunting, James makes it smooth and easy. I highly recommend James!

Totally knowledgeable and professional! We had a painless and exciting process w James and Redfin. He was a fabulous advocate for us and also has a great personality and obvious love for what he does

James responded to any of our questions or emails quickly and succinctly to give us any information that we required throughout the process. He is easy to understand. He took over our listing from V. Roytabel who did not even let us know that he had left Redfin. To James credit, he was able to give us confidence that, by listing with him, that he would personally look after all our needs --and he has done that.
