Jim Shaw is a native of the beautiful State of Maine and more specifically of Mars Hill which is in the Heartland of Aroostook County, the largest and northernmost county in Maine. Mars Hill Mountain is located in this community and is where the first 50 star flag in the U.S. was raised on July 4th, 1960, when Hawaii became a state. After graduating from Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts with a BA in pre-med Biology, he moved to Aroostook County to continue his family's tradition of growing the famous "Maine" potatoes on several family farms. The operation also consisted of "the best little 'packin-plant' in Maine" as well as a brokerage firm.
While serving as a school board member in his local school district, he saw a need to bring about reform in the educational system, and more specifically the teaching profession. He felt that schools needed to be more "exciting" and "fun" especially in the field of Science and Math. This led to him spending eight years as a middle/high school Science and Math teacher. He was able to offer the latest in technology to his classroom to enhance the learning experience. Jim also was the President and CEO of a network marketing company which helped introduce the WebTV to many families all across America. This product brings the powerful and exciting internet to families in their homes right on their television sets.
His buying and selling skills have been honed through his diversified background which centers on his desire to help people. Jim brings his energy and love of helping people to the exciting World of Real Estate. He understands that one of the most prized possessions on earth is a persons Home. This is why after two extremely successful years at Aroostook Real Estate in Presque Isle Jim decided to open his own Real Estate Company in the town where he lives and the town he loves in January of 2003. His company is Northern Maine Realty located at 52 Main Street in Mars Hill and offering exclusive Buyer or Seller Representation for clients who desire professional, competent marketing services. Volume of sales has been consistent since he opened the company and over 8 Million in sales was achieved in 2006.
When the opportunity was available to open a branch office in Houlton, in the mid part of 2006, Jim was pleased to have Sam Henderson come on board and manage that office. Sam is a native of Houlton and offers a gentle, aggressive, competitive spirit which is bringing him great success in the real estate arena. Greg Miller, a successful Remax agent, also joined the Houlton Branch office in 2012 and is keeping up the agressive, friendly marketing approach of the Agency and having great success. His wife, Debbie, just recently ended her nursing career and has obtained her Associate Broker license and helps Jim in the Mars Hill office. This exciting office has beautiful Mounts of some of Maine's wildlife.
