Jim first entered the real estate business in the Denver, Colorado, area during the mid 1980's when the economy was on a downward spiral with more foreclosures than listings on the market. Learning real estate at it's low has given him more success in listing and selling homes because, as he learned you must be innovative in marketing homes in a slow market, Jim says "Anyone can list and sell homes in a good market". Moving to the DeKalb area in 1994, getting his real estate license and within a couple of years back at the level of sales he enjoyed in Colorado. Since 2002 Century21 Elsner has awarded him with multi-million dollar producer and in 2007 was rewarded with the Century21 Top Agent Retreat in Hawaii.

 Jim's Mission Statement  "Having fun helping people with their real estate needs while making money.""Selling DeKalb County real estate is fun, helping people with their real estate needs is how I make money. I am dedicated to providing the finest service available, using my experience, working with honesty and integrity to make your moving experience fun and exciting.  Whether you are selling an existing home or buying your first home, use my 22 years of real estate experience as an advantage. There are few professions today where someone can get personal satisfaction by helping people and get paid to do it. It is so rewarding getting up from the closing table where a client is happy with the transaction having either sold their home or purchased a new one. Seeing the smiles and hearing the "thank you's" is more important than the check in your hand. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy getting the check but seeing satisfied clients is the icing on the cake."

Jim has received certificates to "Show Our Appreciation" from the Ambassador Company for sponsoring the "My Favorite Book" program in DeKalb and Sycamore Elementary Schools from 2002-2007.  Books are distributed to local elementary schools by residents of Oak Crest Retirement Center. Jim feels this is a wonderful way to give back to the community and hopefully get young children started reading early.

When you are an informed buyer or seller, you make the best decisions for the most important purchase or sale in your lifetime.  That's why Jim's goal is to keep you informed on trends in the marketplace using the latest statistics in the area.

As a REALTOR® familiar with the DeKalb County communities, his objective is to work diligently to assist you in meeting your real estate goals.
