I am a full-time real estate professional, licensed in 1988 and carry a Broker's license, as well as GRI, CRS and ePro certifications. I maintain the most comprehensive real estate market information in the area and use that knowledge to benefit my customers and clients. As a 39 year resident of East Central Indiana, I have a wide range of contacts and thorough knowledge of Muncie and surrounding communities. My diverse interests include the building trades, gardening, cooking, history, and international travel. These interests plus four grown children and 11 grandchildren (including "steps") allow me to relate well and to serve virtually anyone seeking real estate assistance.

I have been a user of "Top Producer", a dedicated real estate contact and management system since 1995. The management and marketing tools in "Top Producer" allow me to provide the best possible service to my buyers and sellers, including the availability of a dedicated web site for each customer so they can follow activity from any location 24/7.

I also do extensive studies of MLS market statistics to maintain up to the minute information on homes for sale, selling prices and market trends. This enables me properly advise my customers and clients, whether they are buying or selling.

I make extensive use of a wide variety of the latest marketing techniques. These include virtual tours, web commercials, mutilple color photographs, email marketing, direct mail marketing and full color materials.

"I just wanted to thank you in writing for all the work you did in selling my house. You did everything you promised to do and more."  Robin Rufatto, seller.

"Jim Kouns could not have done a better job. Our property was on the market for about a year with two other REALTORS with no sale. Jim Kouns had an offer and a sale within 6 weeks. He always kept us informed. We never experienced better service from anyone."  Eugene Wagner, PhD, seller.

"Nothing could have made it better because it was near perfection. We looked for some time and Mr. Kouns was helpful throughout the entire experience. I would recommend him with the higest regard." Carrie Anacker, buyer.
