A lifelong resident of New Hampshire, Jim grew up in the Lebanon/Hanover area and moved to Conway in 1972 after graduating from the University of NH. Jim is married with four grown children and has lived in the same place for the last 32 years. It is clear that he loves where he lives! For Jim, helping others find that special place to call home is what he enjoys most about real estate.
A licensed broker in New Hampshire and Maine, Jim services most of Carroll County in NH (Albany, Bartlett, Jackson, Chatham, Madison, Conway, Eaton, Freedom, Effingham, Ossipee, Tamworth and Sandwich) and part of Oxford County in Maine (Fryeburg, Lovell, Stow, Sweden, Brownfield and Denmark), plus the Bridgton area. Upon request, he has traveled up into Coos County in NH as well as the coastal areas of Maine and New Hampshire.
A very good listener and a great problem solver, Jims real estate experience covers a broad range of properties. From single lots to larger acreages/developments; challenging 1031 exchange transactions and larger commercial properties; or single family residences and condominiums, his 24 years of experience and calm professionalism will make each transaction as smooth and simple as possible.
Jim started his real estate career in 1986 as a salesperson for an independent firm, and quickly became a top agent in his area. Within two years he had obtained his Brokers licenses in both NH and ME and became part owner of the firm. He stayed with this firm throughout mergers and business changes until 2008, when he sold his interest in the firm.
When not with clients, Jim enjoys year round mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, cross country skiing and almost any activity that is self propelled. That would include maintaining the homestead, cutting firewood, helping in the vegetable garden and keeping the animals from complaining.

Testimonials:
Actually, you were more involved and instrumental in this transaction than most of the real estate pros I work with. I have really appreciated your outstanding communications, attention to detail and your dedication to your clients.
Great job! Now that you are a section 1031 expert, don't forget to make sure all of your clients understand the power of 1031.

I never got an opportunity to thank you for all that you did in the sale of my fathers house. There were times during that period (due to health issues) that I could barely concentrate on my life here at my own house no less solve a furnace problem or worry about how many inches the last storm dropped in Fryeburg. With each situation that occurred involving my fathers house you were a constant source of stability for me. You may not have been aware of it but your professionalism, your calm, mannerisms, and your dedication to the sale of the property took one thing off my list to worry about at a time where I needed as little as possible to consume my thoughts.
From the time I shook your hand in my fathers driveway to the very end of this transaction you offered me a constant gift of compassion and straight forwardness. I consider myself very lucky to have been led to your company and, in particular, to you. Thank you for a job very well done.
