Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $325k in Mundelein, IL.Summary:
**JIM IS THE ROCKSTAR OF REALTY!!!!!**From the very beginning, Jim showed that he was very unlike many of the realtors Id met before. He actually CARED about our best interests in buying a home....instead of shoving poor decisions down our throats or talking us into something that didnt fit our needs/wants. He has a wonderful personality, and was always VERY quick to respond. I have absolutely NO complaints about Jim.....and whether looking for a home, or selling....there really cant be a better realtor than Mr Starwalt! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!…More Less

Bought a Townhouse home in 2011 for approximately $125k in Volo, IL.Summary:
We were new to the area plus first time home buyers and hoped to find an agent who was knowledgeable about the local area and market. Jim proved to be that and more. He was helpful in educating us on the home buying process and also made sure we understood all steps during our purchase. We found a great home we love and closed with no problem thanks to Jim's efforts. We will surely be contacting him if and when we decide to sell!!…More Less

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 in Grayslake, IL.Summary:
Jim & Susan Starwalt helped me buy my first home in Grayslake. There were a lot of complications, changes and setbacks out of our control while I was on a deadline. Because of Jim's persistence and his ability to work with the seller I met my deadline and am now live in my perfect home. During the few years I have known Jim and his wife Susan, I have found them to be truthful, responsive, energetic, down to earth and proactively helpful. Jim helped me move a huge TV I won at a party many years ago before he knew my name.
Even now after I have been in my home eight months Jim has helped me rake my roof, prevented a leak and has answered other home maintenance questions. He has a roofing construction background that is helpful when determining the value of a home.
Jim & Susan both go beyond expectations. I recommend them without hesitation. They live, know and raised a family the Lake County area. They also know key players in real estate such as home inspectors, mortgage lenders, attorneys and most of my neighbors. They also use the media and signage to full capacity. They get the job done and most of all are fun too.…More Less

About Jim Starwalt
Add personality to your profile! Tell the community about yourself, your home, and your profession.
I am a full time realtor. I am 100% dedicated to the complete satisfaction of my clients. I started my career at the age of 20 with my own Contracting/Roofing company that I owned and operated for 15 years in Lake County, Illinois. This gives me knowledge and skills that are very useful in the world of real estate. I know how homes are built and what keeps them together. I have extensive knowledge in the materials and processes used to construct homes.
I have been selling real estate since 1998 with my wife and real estate partner, Susan. We work together as a team leaving no detail unattended to. Susan is our closing coordinator, marketing department, and generally keeps me on track. I am the one on the GO! This leaves me available and free for showings, appointments, home inspections etc. - making me available at your schedule.
Susan and I have raised our two boys here in the Grayslake Illinois area and we understand the needs of a growing family.
