San Jose · Silicon Valley
I’m James Kurtz, a Realtor® with Intero Real Estate Services in San Jose. I bring an MBA’s discipline to pricing, negotiation and timing, so you can see the numbers behind every decision instead of taking someone’s word for it.
The approach
Most of what goes wrong in a Silicon Valley transaction is a pricing or timing problem dressed up as a marketing problem. A house that sits was priced on hope. An offer that loses was structured without reading the seller. A buyer who overpays never saw the comparable that mattered.
My background is finance and analysis, so that is where I start: what the recent comparable sales actually support, what the carrying cost of waiting looks like, what a contingency is worth in dollars. You get the reasoning, in writing, and then you decide.
The Santa Clara Valley from the Silver Creek foothills.
What you get
A written pricing analysis with the comparable sales, the adjustments and the range, so the list price or the offer is a decision, not a guess.
If a remodel will not return what it costs, or your timing is wrong, I will tell you before you spend the money. I would rather lose a listing than mismanage your equity.
You work with me, start to finish. My mobile is on every page of this site and I answer it.
About
Realtor® with Intero Real Estate Services, working out of the San Jose – Silver Creek office at 5609 Silver Creek Valley Road, San Jose, CA 95138.
I chose Intero because its Silicon Valley footprint gives my clients real reach: the listing goes out through a brokerage that agents here take seriously, and I hear about the off-market conversations that never reach a portal.
Outside of the analysis, the job is mostly about being reachable and telling you the truth on a deadline. That is the standard I hold myself to on every transaction.
Where I work
Silver Creek, Evergreen, Almaden Valley, Willow Glen, Fremont and Danville. Six markets that get talked about in the same breath and price nothing alike.
Get in touch
Whether you are twelve months out or have an offer on the table this week, a short conversation will tell you what your options actually are. No pressure and no obligation.
