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.
