He says hell always remember the first time he heard Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. It nearly frightened him, but inspired him it was so powerful. As a youth, he grew up playing drums, also trading an air guitar for a real one, while jamming to the likes of Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, and Jeff Beck, to name a few. And thats just a small window into the musical soul of Jim Buxton. So how did he end up in real estate? Stay tuned for the rest of the story.
Jim was born in Fort Worth, Texas, to a hard-working and ardently musical family. His Dad was an entrepreneur who had a great work ethic. He was a rock solid, honest guy who taught Jim the basic values of honesty and integrity. His Mom was a talented artist who did creative collages and cartoon caricatures, among other projects. At just 12 years old, Jims parents took him to a night club and he ended up on stage, playing drums with a well known pop and jazz band, the Bill Swift Trio. Fast forward years later, as an adult, he played professionally with the same group and others. Today, he plays several instruments and has a love for all types of music, but a special affinity for jazz.
Jims business career began in the telecom industry, where he spent 23 years perfecting customer service strategies. This direction paired well with the values he was taught growing up, and would become even more meaningful when he decided to pursue the real estate profession. Originally, he chose real estate for the flexibility and entrepreneurship it provided, but soon realized that his focus on customer service over the last two decades would be the very thing that would help him stand out among other agents. To further that commitment, he earned his designation as a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), determined to represent his clients in the toughest of situations. In a short time, he has carved out a name for himself, becoming known as the Extra Mile Agent.
When Jim isnt going above and beyond with a genuine smile for every customer he encounters, he spends time with his family, and continues to play music every chance he gets.
