Providing comprehensive services in real estate evaluation, marketing and sales.

PERSONAL STATEMENTS:

 MISSION:

  • It is my singular mission to provide the most favorable real estate experience possible for each and every one of my customers. I possess the knowledge, experience, creativity and commitment to get the job done, get it done right, and to make the process enjoyable! Whether you are relocating to or away from the Twin Cities area or within it… considering the purchase or sale of a new construction home or existing property… buying or selling your first home or your fourth… town home, condominium or single family… primary residence, commercial or investment property… I have the talent and resources to locate the perfect property for each of my buyers and to successfully market, negotiate and sell the valuable properties of each of my sellers.

 PHILOSOPHY:

  • My philosophy is simple....commit yourself to the customer and put them first and foremost in every thought and every action as it relates to their particular real estate transaction. Drive every last detail to total completion. Have fun! Make it easy and enjoyable for the customer. Eliminate surprises. Communicate effectively and often. Be professional. Have integrity. I am committed to making sure your next purchase, sale and move are seamless and worry-free.

 EXPERIENCE:

  • I draw upon a wide variety of career and personal experiences that I apply to my real estate business on a daily basis. I have worked in corporate America, have held several leadership and ownership positions, and have worked abroad. I have owned and operated several small businesses over the years including a new home building operation where I personally designed and constructed over 130 new homes throughout the Southern Twin Cities metropolitan area from 1996 to 2002. I have won multiple designations and sales performance awards as a professional real estate agent.

 TESTIMONIALS:

  • Overall, I would just like to say a big “thank you” to Jim for everything that he did (conference calls, documentation, marketing, materials, etc.) to represent us and get our house sold in a timely manner. His can-do attitude, his flexibility and his fun personality made him a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Jim to anyone who is considering buying a home, selling a home, or just plain interested in learning more about the vast world of real estate. Whatever your need, Jim will get it done!” 

    Joe and Susan Johnson, Apple Valley, Minnesota 
  • "We want to thank you for the wonderful job you did with the marketing and sale of our home despite the numerous complications that arose and the hurdles we encountered. We didn’t anticipate what would be involved in dealing with our relocation company and in the selling of our home. I am glad that we had you to assist us in dealing with all of those issues.

    We have been involved in several real estate transactions in the past. In each instance, I can honestly say, the relationship with our Realtor deteriorated in one way or another over time. This was the first positive experience we have had with a Realtor. Thanks again!"


    Tom and Dyan Riden, Burnsville, Minnesota
     
  • "James was key in selling our home. His knowledge of real estate and attention to detail really made all the difference. We did a thorough walk through of our property together and he pointed out all of the small items and a couple of large ones that it took to get the house looking great. In a tough market, our home sold in a week! Thanks again for everything!"

    Jon and Jody Simon, Randolph, Minnesota

  • "I guess it's not impossible to buy a house from 1800 miles away....sight unseen!  The key is to have the right realtor.  Your patience and understanding of a complicated situation was very much appreciated.  Having you as our eyes and ears made the process easy.  Your vast knowledge of homes and extensive background in new construction made a difficult process enjoyable.  Your understanding of market conditions and the nuances of home building were extremely valuable. 

We ended up with the right house at the right price for our daughter.  She has been in the house now for about six weeks and she absolutely loves it!  She says it feels just like home.  Thanks for all of your help!
