You never know with what Jim Bath will come up! REALTOR® Jim tends to blend and interweave his 3 Professional Experiences (Professor and Department Chairman at Michigan State University; Residential Remodeler and Handyman in Indiana and Florida; and REALTOR® in Venice, Florida) to create frequent Posts to his Blog at http://Jim-In-Paradise.com. As an Entomologist he loves tiny, small, medium and large animals! His Posts usually try to open one's eyes and mind in sort of an Out-Of-The-Box manner. He is a serious student of Real Estate Marketing and associated technology. So, you never know what you are about to get on a given day. Stay tuned and get involved.
