James is the best realtor we could have asked for. Throughout the entire process he was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer any questions we had.
James has a thorough understanding of the home buying process. During the touring and inspection phase, James came prepared with his own questions and notes. He wasn’t afraid to speak up to the construction manager or the inspector to ensure nothing was missed and that we had a full understanding of every aspect of the home. During the buying process he was an excellent negotiator and served as a fantastic resource for us as we went through the closing process.
We’ve already recommended him to friends, and I would highly recommend James to absolutely anyone looking to purchase a home in the Houston area.

We couldn't have been happier with our experience with James as first time home buyers. James listened to what we wanted, fielding all of our questions, and always gave us the information we needed in a very timely manner.
We ran into some complications with our lender, and James handled the situation with poise and professionalism. He guided us towards another lender whom he had extensive experience with, and we were able to close. I truly believe had it not been for him, we might not be sitting in our first home today.
While James has extensive knowledge over new construction, he was able to share his expertise around builders, housing materials, and construction in existing homes that we would never have known about without him.
I would direct anyone who is looking to buy a home in Houston to James. He was delightful to work with.

We were out-of-state buyers looking to purchase a new construction home. We discovered James on YouTube where he inspected homes in various phases. We were drawn to James because he's very knowledgeable. Working with James was a very positive experience. He responded promptly to our emails, calls and texts. He addressed all our concerns. He taught us what to look for in a home and explained why they were good and bad. He went above and beyond by being our eyes and ears and being present on our behalf for the inspection, final walk and more. The home we ended up purchasing checked all our boxes and was well within our price range. We're looking forward to working with him when we buy another property.

I had to relocate to Houston due to my Job. My wife and I decided it was time to buy a house, the only problem was that I didn't know anyone that could help me at Houston, that got me a bit worried going thru that stressful process. That's when we meet James Potenza and he explained the entire process step by step. Right a way I knew I found the right person for the Job, he is very Professional and he's very knowledgeable when it comes to inspecting a house. He was pointing things out that any other realtor would not do. He gave me the impression that he was the one buying the house being so meticulous when he was showing me the houses. I really felt that he got my back thru the entire process, always looking out for our best interest.... On behalf of my family I thank you for all your help and guidance thru this process... You are the Best!!

James did an excellent job in helping us find our new home. We looked at many properties over the course of six weeks, and James was always prompt to set up showing appointments (sometimes same-day). He took the time to inspect each home from the foundation to the roof and didn't hesitate to say "walk away" if he saw that upcoming repair bills were not reflected in the asking price. We really appreciate that he presented the relevant information on the houses, schools, and tax rates, and listened to our feedback. He really works to find his clients a home they will enjoy owning.
Thank you, James!

If you're reading this review trying to find the best realtor in the area, stop looking, you've found him! James helped us find a great house twelve years ago, when we first moved to Texas, then another one, then sell one of those just recently, and each time it was very comforting to know we were in good hands. His expertise, trustworthiness, availability to answer questions, negotiating skills and years of solid experience related to the area, the market, building features, schools, neighborhoods, etc. are just something you can't substitute. We would, and will, recommend James to anyone.

MY wife and I were first time sellers and contacted James to help. HIs advice was invaluable and timely - we never had to wait for responses to questions, of which there quite a few since this was our first time selling - and the end result was multiple offers on the first day the property listed, with us accepting an above-asking-price offer from the first-day group. We closed within weeks. The overall experience really exceeded our best expectation, and we strongly believe that James' help was crucial to achieving our outcome. We can't thank and recommend him enough.

WOOHOO! We’re first time home buyers! All thanks to James. My partner and I were so nervous to make the big jump, and James made it go so smoothly and fast! From the rooftop to the crack in the foundation he’ll be sure to share his expertise. James was able to help us find the perfect home and was very accommodating when it came to buyer/seller communication. He was very honest with the houses we looked at, inspecting every one. He’ll take you through every detail and pro’s and con’s. You can trust this guy! I highly recommend him.

He is the best in the house market! Thank you James!

James did an amazing job from beginning to end and still continues to help me with any questions I may have regarding my home purchase. I gave him time frame, budget, and features I was looking for and he did a fantastic job at being punctual, supplying options or suggestions, and always staying one step ahead of the whole process. Transaction went smooth from start to finish. Will definitely recommend to any friends and family or anyone looking to purchase a home!

Thanks James for helping us find our home. Being a first time home owner, we had a lot of questions in our mind, however, they all were answered appropriately by you with a lot of patience. Thanks to you also for referning the good home inspectors who not only did a good job but guided us also through out the inspection process. It was really a nice experience looking around houses with you and learning the pros and cons. Thanks again. Dharmendra

James was terrific, showed me numerous houses that fit my needs/wants. Then when I found the right one, he deal with all the challenges including Harvey and got it closed, sooner than I expected. He was there every step of the way, from the inspection to the closing, with the information when I need it. Deal with my lender, smooth that process out. I will recommend James to friends and family, it they need a home.

James Potenza of Houston New Home Realtors did an excellent job of leading us through the new home buying process. He advised us when we needed an outside inspection and was onsite when we couldn't be. He acted as a mediator between us and the builder and took videos and pictures of the whole process of building our home. We are extremely satisfied!

After a quick relocation decision from New Hampshire to Texas, my husband and I needed to find a home, and we needed to find one fast! We originally sought after James because of the great reviews we found online. We were pleased by the efficiency and timeliness of the home search. James listened to our needs and showed us exactly what we were looking for in the area in which we desired to be. Because of the efficiency of the transaction, we were even granted the ability to close early. James was a great resource for the lender, title company, insurance and inspection. Everyone we worked with was helpful and able to easily understand our needs. James was both the seller and buyer’s realtor and handled that responsibly exceptionally well. Not only was he efficient, James takes his job and clients very seriously. Because we were living in between Texas and NH, James took every effort to be available when we needed him to be, and even took the time to check up on our newly purchased home when he knew we would not be in the area for a couple weeks. Thank you James for all your hard work and effort! We love our Texas home!

We worked with James for two home purchases now and he has exceeded our expectations both times! Always available to answer questions and he knows his stuff! He climbed into the attics of all the homes we viewed to help us get the most complete picture possible before making an offer. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!!
~ Pasha G
I've worked with James on both sides now - both buying and selling a home - and the process couldn't have gone smoother each time. His knowledge, patience, and motivation to get the best deal possible was always noticeable. You'll know you're in good hands from the get-go. Thanks again for all of your help, James!
~ James S
Did a great job assisting me in finding a place in early August, and then starting over from scratch when inspection raised some issues with the first place. Then we managed to close in September only a couple days behind schedule despite the hurricane. He is very conscientious and put in lots of effort to assist me.
~ Brayden G
James is an honest and unbiased realtor who has your best interest at heart. He helped us through our home selling process from just the initial thought of selling to closing day. No pressure, lots of patience, and accuracy on the market prices. Right on the money! Under contract in 3 days! Thanks James!
~ Elaine G
James helped us through our first home buying process, which involved an inventory build. He was there through the whole process and knew what to look for in quality construction. He was also extremely helpful dealing with the many issues that arose through this process and we felt very confident in his advise and aid.
~ S C
We had such a great experience with James. We looked at home after home and sometimes felt we weren’t going to find what we wanted in our price range, but James worked patiently with us and helped us purchase a home we all love for a great price. Will most definitely recommend him to friends and family!
~ Allana B
James Potenza helped my family find our new home. We appreciate all of the knowledgable insight he gave us as we looked through each home giving honest feedback on what was good and what would need improvement about each place we viewed. It is not just about selling a home to him - it is about finding the right place for his clients.

James has provided great assistance in our house buying and selling. He is a polite, reliable and knowledgeable realtor, able to provide prompt house showing, good market analysis for house values, and others for a smooth transaction. Highly recommended!
