Jim has enjoyed living in the Safety Harbor/Clearwater area since 1990.  He was born and raised in Cleveland, OH and lived in the Dallas area for twelve years before moving to Florida.

After a successful career in management and sales, which included twenty-six at a major corporation headquartered in Tampa, Jim was a Business Broker with Sunbelt Business Brokers prior to becoming a Realtor® in 2004 and a Broker Associate with St Pete Realty.

Jim received a BS Degree in Business and Public Administration and an MS Degree in Management and Administrative Sciences from the University of Texas at Dallas.  With his broad experience and education in business, Jim can assist you with developing and achieving your goals through the sale and/or purchase of investment/income property and land, as well as help you find a buyer for your current home or assist you in finding a new home that meets your family´s needs and dreams.

Jim loves Florida and the many advantages of a comfortable climate and friendly environment.  His fitness and fun routine includes running, tennis, beach volleyball, bicycling and other outdoor activities.  He enjoys traveling and has vacationed in more than twenty different countries, but his favorite vacation spot is - Florida!

As for indoor activities, Jim enjoys reading anything he can get his hands on, spending time on one of his three computers, playing with the latest electronic "gizmos", writing (he´s a Dave Barry wannabe) and hanging out in the morning at the local coffee shop.

When asked why he got into real estate, Jim replied, "The main reasons are I really enjoy people and solving problems.  I also seem to have a knack for bringing together individuals with other people or things´ - in real estate this means homes.  Possessing good listening skills, being detail oriented and always being on the lookout for opportunities as they arise are key elements to success in this business and I believe I do all three very well.  Real estate offers me a chance to meet and help people on a daily basis and to make a good living doing something I thoroughly enjoy - it´s not even like having a job".
