We had the pleasure of working with Jim to find our house on Edisto. It was a big decision to move from Texas and Jim patiently worked with us as we waited for the right home. His knowledge of the market and his understanding of our needs were invaluable. He promised us "we'll get you to Edisto" and he delivered. Bonus, my Clemson grad husband got to move back home.
Jim was able to get my home under contract in a week by accepting offers on the same day. This made it very easy for me to compare offers. I did not feel like I missed out on a better option after I had accepted an offer because they were all presented at the same time. Having all the offers at one time was wonderful.
The appropriate words are difficult to find in summarizing the sincere care and depth of involvement that Jim Kempson has displayed throughout the entire process. Jim is diligent, extremely knowledgeable, personable and also can anticipate obstacles and hurdles at every step of the way. His personal involvement made this transaction an absolute joy even though we did have a number of obstacles to overcome. Jim is a true old timer and I appreciate that. He even took the time to write me a hand written Thank You Letter... the kind I receive in the mail in his penmanship. I got choked up and thought.... nobody does this anymore! He is ONE OF A KIND! I’ll recommend him to all!
Helped us with price that would sell, advertised, kept us posted with showings and answered any questions we had in a timely manner and gave us guidance during closing.
Hands down the best agent on Edisto Island. We have worked with Jim on buying and selling several homes here, since we relocated to Edisto in 2009. Extremely helpful and knowledge about the island.
Jim was personable, available and informed during our transaction together. In my business I often work with real estate agents that are far more interest in the commission rather than their client. Jim was the exact opposite. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim to any prospective buyer or seller
We had the pleasure of working with Jim Kempson to purchase our lot on Edisto Island. He was knowledgeable about the property, responsive in providing information and easy to work with. I’d recommend his real estate services to anyone. Best regards, Ann Free
Jim KNOWS the island. A long-time resident and knowledgeable realtor on Edisto Island. He served both the owner and the buyer (me) very professionally as a dual agent. He stayed on it and kept the process moving. Closing was smooth as silk. Best experience I've had in real estate since my first house in 1984 (in three different states). If I were buying or selling at Edisto I would stay with Jim, I suggest you do too
I have known Jim for several decades and have worked with him on a number of high end houses that I have bought and sold. Without a doubt he is the best realtor I have ever known, bar none. He is a scholar when it comes to coastal property and will give you insider information on almost every property you are interested in. He is honest, trustworthy, loyal to his clients, diligent and gives VIP assistance all the way to closing and sometimes beyond! He’s not one in a million...he’s one in TEN million!
I has been my pleasure to work with Jim twice in the past decade, We engaged his services when buying our beloved home at Edisto Island and most recently he handled the sale of the same home. Real estate transactions are complicated and emotional. If you are lucky enough to have Jim by your side you will glide through the process with a minimum amount of stress and tears. He anticipates problems before they fully develop, communicates well and is just an all around good guy who lives and acts by the Golden Rule. His phone number is the only one you need for real estate transactions at Edisto.
