Jim grew up on a farm and ranch in South Dakota, driving a tractor before he was old enough to drive a car. His parents taught him that if he wanted to make something of himself, it was up to him. With a strong foundation and a passion for excellence, it's no wonder that Jim is one of the top real estate professionals in Decatur. After moving to Decatur and starting in real estate in 1988, he was told by the locals he would not succeed because he was too young and not from the Decatur area. He was inspired to prove them wrong, and after becoming one of the top local agents he opened his own RE/MAX office in 1991. Jim's personal motto: "If it is to be, it is up to me." When something needs to get done, Jim is the first in line to dive in, the more challenging, the better. He maintains his edge in this ever-changing business by constantly pushing himself to learn more about it and has earned the following designations to better assist buyers and sellers: ABR, CIAS, CDPE, CRS, gREEN, GRI, SRES, and SRS. Active, outgoing, and energetic, Jim has always been a person on the go...he loves hunting, golf, bowling, and downhill skiing. Each sport is a personal challenge the same way his professional life is. "I love the outdoors and being one with nature. To breathe in the fresh air and get away from it all is refreshing." Jim knows they want a REALTOR who will give them all the information they need while never pressuring them into any decision that is uncomfortable for them.People in the Decatur area continue to rely on Jim as Decatur's local real estate resource. Over the years Jim continues to refine his service. What that means is high-impact marketing for sellers and complete home buying services for buyers. That's why Jim and his staff won't do anything "halfway", treating everyone with respect, dedication, and great care. Jim is married to Joy and they have a grown son Tynon.
