About Me

Hmm, So Who Are You?

I grew up in Denver, proudly graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder and spent many hours visiting with my family at their home’s on Flying Fish and Flying Cloud Isle in FC so I got to know it pretty well. I met my lovely bride Lesley in 1989 and we moved to the Bay Area where I became a Realtor and worked for the Re/Max office that used to be at the location the Inktomi Mausoleum now sits on…Hillsdale between Shell and Foster City Blvd. When our building was torn down I moved to Re/Max Today in San Carlos where I still am today. My office is the most productive office in San Mateo county and I’m proud to say that I’m associated with it! In 2006 I was 4th out of 67 agents there and have been in the top 1% of Real Estate agents in the US for years now. I know what I’m doing and my experience can be very helpful to you if you’re either buying or selling, so please don’t ever hesitate to contact me…even if you just want to pick my brain a bit!Lesley and I have been happily (really!) married for 19 years and have 2 beautiful little girls, Christina and Elena. We’ve been attending Central Peninsula Church over on Shell since 1991. My life’s sort of an open book so please let me know if you ever have any questions…or you would like to talk Colorado football! Go Buffs!

    Hey Jim GREAT SITE!

    I have known Jim since 2001 and he sold us our first home in 2005. He is professional, informative, patient and knows the area like the back of his hand. When we were searching for our home we had many days where we only had an hour to look at houses. My wife and I still tell stories about how he would come pick us up at 5pm and take us to 4 or 5 homes and he would have us back in our driveway at 6pm. I can’t tell you what I nice feeling that is when you know your realtor respects your time constraints and is willing to work with your schedule. We also enjoy each month receiving his news letters that keep us informed of everything from how to fix your dripping sink to the increase in postage stamps. It’s the details that matter and Jim has them wired.

    I have referred friends of mine to Jim for their real estate needs and he has represented them as both buyers and sellers in upgrading their homes. Jim appreciates the business as he is 100% referral and with the success he has had over the years that speaks volumes to the integrity he has. This site is just another one of those details that makes buying or selling a home with Jim a wonderful experience.
