MEET Jim Stevenson

THE #1 RELOCATION EXPERT IN THE PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS

I'm Jim Stevenson, a Realtor with Real Broker. I help people buy and sell homes in Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware Counties, and a lot of my clients are relocating from out of state or planning a retirement move.

I grew up in Bucks County, went to Central Bucks schools and live in Chalfont now. So when you ask how one town compares to the next on taxes, schools or the commute, I can tell you from experience.

My business is built on plain advice and real data. I'm not here to pressure anyone into a quick decision. I'd rather help you understand the numbers and the trade-offs between towns so the move fits your life.

  • We cannot say enough great things about Jim! As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and uncertainties, but he guided us through the process, helping everything run smoothly. Jim was incredibly patient, always available to answer our questions, and consistently went above and beyond to help us close on the perfect home. He kept us informed at every stage, provided honest advice, and even after closing, he continued to check in and offer support, speaking volumes about his commitment to his clients. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your home-buying experience, we highly recommend Jim. He made our dream of homeownership a reality, and we are beyond grateful!

  • Bought a Condo home in 2019 in Doylestown, PA.

    Jim was our agent for our purchase in Bucks County, and we are so lucky to have had him represent us. He made every aspect of the transaction easy, was always available for any kind of questions or issues, and his advice and negotiation strategy were spot on. Plus he's a really nice person! We highly recommend him. Ps the team at RealtyOne is also great (a shout out to Kourtney!) – all questions answered quickly, very thorough follow-through and every detail covered.

  • Jim was responsive and knowledgeable throughout the whole home buying process, and remained responsive and helpful even two months after we moved in. He’s a straight shooter and very personable. We never felt pressured at any time throughout the process. He knows who to call for every problem that might come up as well 👍. Couldn’t of asked for a better realtor!
