Jim Carmichael – Keller Williams Realty

Jim is one of the nicest and most professional people I’ve ever met. He’ll definitely go way above and beyond the average real estate professional to help you either find a home or sell the one you have.
He has a superstar team. Both Sandy and Kim are amazing. Impeccable character.
They know the market well. And I haven’t met another realtor in San Diego it doesn’t know who Jim is. I’ve never heard of someone saying a bad word about him.
Thanks Kim for your time last Saturday at the house in Lakeside!

We had a wonderful experience with Jim Carmichael who handled the selling of two homes for us. His suggestions and the type of coverage we received was great. We went with Jim since we felt he knew the area after all his years in the area. Great Job!

We were referred to Kim Carmichael when we started our search for a new home. We were first time homebuyers, so Kim was incredibly helpful at communicating, updating, and stepping us through the entire process. When a few hiccups arose during inspections and things, Kim had the expertise to help guide us through the best solutions and always had our best interests in mind. She helped us search for homes, enter escrow, and finally close all within 6 weeks! I’m glad we were referred to Kim and wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to others.

When it comes to Real Estate In the East County area, Jim Carmichael is the man! Jim has been in the industry for a long time w lots of experience. Not too mention HONEST & HUMBLE.
(Which is VERY hard to come by these days!)
He will most definately take care of you. Give him a call!

Mr. Carmichael was very unprofessional. He lied numerous times and he never answers/​returns calls. He just wants the sell and he never follows through. We bought a recent property with him and we requested that the tenants move out so we can occupy the house. He didn’t give the tenants the notice until 15 days before we were supposed to move in so we ended up closing escrow and we later found out from the tenants that he gave them an additional 2 months to leave the premises. My family had to move in with other family members and wait an additional 2 MONTHS… The messed up part is that he NEVER told us, we had to find out from the tenants and when we confronted him he said it was the LAW. Bullshit! don’t work with this hustler.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim since the 1970’s and have used his real estate services on several occasions. Jim and his team sold our home so fast we had to move twice. (our new home was not finished)
If you need to move quickly or are looking for that perfect home I strongly encourage you call Jim today, you won’t be disappointed.

I have dealt with Jim and his daughter Kim over the years. They have always been very friendly and shown genuine care in helping us find the best homes. They have also sold things quicker than we thought possible. I’m not really not sure why anyone would give a bad review as we have no complaints!

Listed my condo and got 3 offers within 3 days and two were the top of our asking price. We also found a home and were able to close escrow on both properties within a day of one another. Selling and buying a home can be extremely difficult and stressful and the folks at Jim Carmichael’s office made the process simple and stress free. My family and I barely had to deal with a thing. If you are in the San Diego area and are looking to buy or sell, there is no other choice than Jim Carmichael and his team.

Last year we listed with Jim Carmichael to sell our rental property. We based our decision on seeing all the for sale signs with his name on them, and other hype. He wasn’t very responsive; and fortunately, having sold 5 other properties «by owner» in the past, we pretty much knew how things should go as far as setting price, etc. With the housing market pretty unstable, we thought we needed to list with an agent for more exposure.
First, we had already done market research, looking up with comps and had a good idea of what price to list… but Mr. Carmichael came up with a totally different figure and a low one (in our opinion) at that.
We had lots of interest in the property, we had done a lot of upgrading and it looked great. At one point, there were several people showing serious interest. My husband was working on the property, so whenever a potential buyer came by, he allowed them to come through the house, and basically, we sold the property in the first week, with several bids coming in. Mr. Carmichael told my husband at one point that «we don’t want a bidding war»…to which my husband, said, «why not?» We ended up selling the house for very close to the price we came up with, not Mr. Carmichael’s price.
After the close of escrow, we never heard from Mr. Carmichael again, not even a thank you card. Not impressed, and will not recommend him to anyone… have already told two people we wouldn’t recommend him. He’s relying on past reputation, he really doesn’t put himself out at all… just runs to the bank with the commission check.
