Jim Ross & Laura Stretch Remax Southern Realty

Jim and Laura are what customer service is all about. They were professional, helpful and always ready to answer any questions. After viewing our place Jim made a few suggestions and we ended up listing and selling our place for more than I ever expected. They will be my agents for any future real estate transactions for sure.

I live in Montreal and had to arrange the sale of a relative's house in High River. It was crucial that I had a real estate agent that I could trust with this this important transaction as I was managing it from long distance. Am I ever glad that I selected Laura who went above and beyond. She took the time to thoroughly explain the sales process and answer all of my many questions. Throughout the process, she always took the initiative to keep me updated about what was happening with regards to house preparation, listing status, visits by potential buyers, offers that came in, negotiations, and closing. As well, whenever I contacted her, she was always reachable or would get back to me promptly. Not once did I feel left in the dark which was a big concern of mine living so far away. I was very impressed with Laura's knowledge of the local real estate market and her professionalism. My relative's house was listed and sold in 1 week at a price we were happy with, the process was very smooth. Laura did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend her.

Jim did a great job supporting our family with the sale of our property.
His market knowledge, attention to detail and dependable communications throughout the entire process were much appreciated.
Thanks again for the help and your expertise Jim!

Laura Stretch was referred to us as she is local to High River. From our initial phone conversation through to closing she was fantastic. She was professional and prompt and always kept our needs as clients first and foremost. Her knowledge of the area was another reason we were so pleased with her as it really helped finalize our buying decision. We were more than happy with both Laura and Jim and would highly recommend Remax Southern Realty without hesitation.

Jim was extremely knowledgeable and very responsive. Every step of our home buying and home selling experience was clearly explained and well managed. We are so happy in our new home. If you are looking for a realtor, Jim Ross is the best!

An absolute pleasure working with Laura to sell our home! She went well above and beyond the scope of work normally provided by a real estate agent. She was even instrumental in assisting us with the purchase of our new place which was sold privately. We highly recommend Laura and Jim for any buying and selling needs!

Both are very accommodating with all our inquiries with regards to the High River property we acquired, we are very happy with their service and help, you can count on them. Excellent service!

I have had the opportunity of working with Jim on two real estate transactions on behalf of the organization I work for. On both occasions Jim’s service was very professional, thorough, and customer focused, along with openness and honesty. Jim worked to ensure that all aspects of the transaction were fully understood and considered. It was evident that Jim was committed to ensuring that the clients requirements took precedence over his personal needs to complete a sale. One could describe Jim as an “honest broker. ” I would be pleased to work with Jim again, and do not have any reservations in recommending him.

Laura was a super star in our dealings, and is at the top of her game. Made time to immediately meet with me, presented a researched and perfectly priced sale amount for my home, which resulted in a bidding war of offers on my house, and the home selling only 12.5 hours after the listing appeared online (8am to 830pm, house was sold). Also this was in the middle of winter, and right after Christmas, notoriously difficult times to sell a house.

Thank you so much for your dedicated, top tier service, and well thought out plan of attack for selling my home. Appreciate all the work, and checking in with me throughout the process - Will recommend you to anyone who will is looking for an agent!

I worked with Laura during the sale of my deceased aunts house. She held my hand and walked me through all the steps in a timely and efficient manner.

Laura will exceed all of your expectations!

Jim Ross is the person you want to guide you through the process of purchasing a home in the High River area. We purchased a new build from 3000km away and he was our eyes and ears for every step of the process from selecting the property/house layout and design elements through to providing advice about landscaping and upgrades. He is calm, patient and thorough. He leaves nothing to chance and went above and beyond our expectations by regularly going to the house site and providing us with zoom updates. Our home is perfect thanks to Jim’s attention to detail and wonderful working relationship with the builder.

Laura Stretch took care of our selling needs in the Montrose area of High River! Would highly recommend Laura and her team for your buying or selling needs! Thanks again Laura!

We always receive excellent service/insights when we buy through Jim and Laura.

Jim was so helpful with everything I didn't know about buying a house. I have a much better understanding now what being a real estate agent is about. I couldn't have asked for anyone better and Laura was great too. She helped out for a couple days and stepped up to the plate for us.

Sold my condo through Laura and Jim, awesome people to deal with along with punctuality and making sure you understand the ins and outs of selling and of buying a home. Highly recommend, thank you!

Jim made a few suggestions of things that would improve the marketability of our home (I honestly did not agree with all of them) BUT we did exactly as he suggested and the house sold on the first day it was posted on MLS! We got multiple offers and above asking! Jim and Laura are a great team. I would recommend them with 10 stars if I could
They were available if I had Questions, Explained the process clearly, and brought the optimal results!

Jim Ross is an outstanding realtor. He did an amazing job finding us the perfect home while we were out of province and couldn’t view the homes ourselves. He definitely went the extra mile to ensure we found the perfect home.

Laura Stretch recently sold my home in High River and did an exceptional job I would definitely recommend her to sell any future properties, she was well planned, communicated very well and went out of her way to satisfy any and all requests. Great job Laura!

My wife and I would absolutely recommend Jim Ross and Laura Stretch. As first time homebuyers, Jim took the time to answer all our questions and was very thorough and professional as he guided us through the process. Jim took the time to show us many different properties and was insightful in helping us focus in on what we were looking for in our first home. Jim was very accommodating of our schedules, and always quick to respond to us night or day. In working with Jim it is very clear that he is well established in the community and has excellent knowledge of the real estate market in High River. We were very impressed with his professionalism and solid recommendations through the whole process. Thank you Jim for helping us purchase our first home!

Jim and Laura were excellent in providing me services in looking for a place that would suit my needs. Jim did a lot of research in the area and narrowed it down to the place I bought which I am so happy with. I highly recommend them.

Do you know how hard it is to sell a house during a pandemic? Jim made our experience as pleasant as possible.

Jim and Laura are a great team and will not let you down, thanks so much to both of them for getting us through buying and selling.

Jim and Laura were integral in selling our home during the spring of 2020. From the first discussion with Jim it was clear he was a professional who knew the local real-estate market which made it easy to take his advise on the current market value of our home. We received excellent value from Jim and Laura during the whole process.

We just bought our first home and Jim was our realtor. He was always quick to respond, a great communicator, he listened to what our needs and dreams were and served those things directly. I would describe Jim's approach to serving his clients as holistic. Truly a master of looking at every aspect of our purchase and leaving no rock unturned. I couldn't say enough good about our experience with Jim if I tried. Thanks Jim!
