After 24 action-packed years of service above self as a Naval Academy graduate and a Navy pilot, I successfully transitioned my education, skills and attributes into real estate and business related activities.  Just like I did as a pilot, I now use my reliability, common sense, integrity and ability to resolve issues prior to them becoming emergencies to set me apart from others.

 Real estate experience  

I have personally owned, invested in and sold 29 homes and businesses on my own before becoming a Delaware REALTOR®.  Thus, I relate to the feelings, emotions, frustrations and joys you are feeling while going through this process. 

In short, "I've been there, done that...many times!"  Now I am offering my professional training and experience to you as we walk through every step of the process together in today's challenging market. 

 I have discovered that about 92% of my business comes from people just like you who are so outrageouslysatisfied with my services that they gladly introduce me to people they care about (friends, family, co-workers and neighbors), both  before and after our business is formally concluded. 

Because my clients learn that I personally care about every one of them, in turn, they are eager to introduce me to people they care about… family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.

My clients confirm - operating "By Referral Only" - is a great way of doing business and I know that you'll appreciate the differerence!

   Your experienced, trusted professional 

Thank you for trusting me to be your pilot! As a reliable 24 year Navy pilot and now a real estate professional, I will steer a course to avoid real estate "turbulence" and successfully attain that which together we discover is really important to you."

Jim's three roles

1. Trusted          Pilot:            steering the course to attain what is really important to you
2. Experienced   Negotiator:     like a pit bull....negotiating with your money as though its my own
3. Transactional Coordinator:    of over 100 critical details by phone, e-mail, fax and in person 

What operating "By Referral Only" means ... to you

• Other (more conventional) agents may spend over half of their time looking for their next customer.
  
• I take the time to really get to know you.  I have the training, experience, skill and courage to ask insightful, penetrating questions that pinpoint with laser-like clarity what is really important to you.
  
• Then, I focus 100% of my time and energy working with you (and coordinating with up to 78 people from 14 different industries that will be involved in the closing of your property).
  
• Experience shows that because customers quickly sense that I truly care about each one of them, they gladly introduce him to people they care about (friends, family, neighbors and co-workers), often before the formal contract completion is celebrated.
  
• It's a "Win - Win" for everyone!
