ABOUT JIM

With 18 years in real estate as an industry leader consulting buyers and sellers of extraordinary properties, Jim brings unparalleled concierge service to those he represents. Putting the client first while having the foresight to be ahead of the real estate transaction allows clients working with Jim to not only feel well taken care of, but to feel like they are being represented by the best. Ultimately, Jim brings a level of caring to his clients that is unmatched in today’s world. Some have said Jim makes it feel like they are his only client. Understanding the high importance of the transaction, he is a tremendous client advocate, always representing their very best interests.

Jim has a keen understanding of the needs of a client relocating across the country, to the buyer purchasing their first home, and everything in between. Jim’s real estate path has provided him experience and success throughout Indianapolis including Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Meridian Kessler, downtown Indianapolis and more. With several local builder relationships, Jim frequently consults with home buyers wanting to build rather than buy existing. With years of experience and firm relationships in the health care and financial services industries, Jim has developed an extensive network of clients and friends in Indianapolis. His contemporaries include entrepreneurs and industry leaders in Indianapolis and worldwide. This network provides active buyers and sellers of property, as well as referrals of home buyers and sellers.

Jim studied at DePauw University and Indiana University in Bloomington. After university, he relocated to San Francisco and started an internet-based company and later sold financial management software with Advent Software. After many years in the Bay Area, he returned to Indianapolis to become a Realtor with the F.C. Tucker Company, where he earned the Executive and President’s Club Awards. Jim’s broker at the time was quoted as saying, “Jim is the type of agent we want to build this company around.” Jim joined Encore Sotheby’s International Realty understanding the brand’s value, particularly in its beautiful marketing that effectively distinguishes properties from the competition in the marketplace and its expansive worldwide network. This effective branding coupled with his concierge service results in highly effective real estate services for the buyers and sellers he represents.

What makes a house a home to you? It’s the feeling you have the moment you enter the space. It’s everything from the architectural details of the home, to the pictures on the wall. But ultimately, it’s the people that live inside the walls and how they graciously live and interact with their guests to make them not feel like guests that makes a home genuine. The house I grew up in exemplified this — warm and inviting for all comers and a space people are drawn to.
