What clients say about Jim

If you are looking for someone to help you with real estate, you need a person who is trustworthy and honest. That is Jim. When he sold my farm there were some aspects of the sale that were sensitive. He went over and above to help me out, which was not easy and was well appreciated. We worked well together. With his experience, he has an understanding of every farm situation. Whatever is going on, in the rural market, what the banks are doing, where things might be going, with Jim’s knowledge you are in good hands. His communication is 100 per cent and he is easy to get on with – an honest guy who will do whatever he can to sell your property.

I’ve known Jim for 30 years, from when he was my stock agent. I now regard him as a member of my team: part of a trusted group of people I can rely on when it comes to making business decisions. He always keeps me in the loop. He helped me buy a farm a few years ago, and will call in regularly, particularly if there is something I might be interested in. He is a good listener. With Jim if you called him right now to ask for a hand you know he would just turn up. That is in his make up as a man – he would hate to let anybody down.

Mark Hamill

My brother and I have known Jim since before he went into real estate, so for 25 or 30 years. We have had close contact with him and have always found Jim to be extremely honest. You can rely on everything he says, and he is very open about things. He is efficient, he always dots the ‘I’s and crosses the ‘T’s. He always puts in the effort to try and bring an agreement together. We were looking for some extra land, and had to keep looking for a long time. Although Jim came up with plenty of options it was difficult to find something that was going to work in the way we wanted. He was persistent, and in the end he put together the deal that we needed. He loves a challenge and never gave up. He is a people person and very passionate about real estate. You can see he really enjoys the job, which is why he is so effective at it.
