About Jim

I was born in Fort Huachuca , Arizona while my father was in the military but we moved when I was still 0 . After a 3 year stint in Frankfurt , Germany where my 2 brothers were born , we moved to my old hometown of Augusta , Georgia . After an exciting sports career in high school , I accepted a scholarship to play tennis at Augusta State University . Fast forwarding to the end of my never dull college days , I decided I was ready to pursue a career as a tennis professional and accepted a job as a teaching pro . I learned a lot about customer service ,marketing , organization , self assertiveness and the ability to smile after a long day on the court , whether it was 95 degrees or 30 degrees . After 12 years teaching on the court and my body aching , I decided to enter the real estate industry in 1998 . With my competitiveness still at a very high level , my thought was to add that competitiveness with all of the other qualities I had acquired and try to become the best Real Estate Broker around . All of this said , I would not be as successful as I am without the constant support of my wife Kim and my 2 little children , Avery and Jack . They know how much I love them , and I would trade in everything for their health and happiness .

Jim's Expertise with Re/Max and Carolina United Realty

My expertise starts with Residential Real Estate but in the last 3 years I have developed a property management company called Carolina United Realty , where I manage residential and commercial properties . On the Re/Max side of my business , I consistently am in the top 1% of all Brokers maintaining an average of between 25 and 35 active listings . My portfolio of listings ranges from multi-family properties in Salisbury , NC ( Rowan County ) to a small new home community in Belmont , NC ( Gaston County ) to condos and townhomes in South End , just outside of uptown Charlotte , down to the Ballantyne area near the South Carolina state line . And , lastly , I love to market and really take pride in selling homes in my neighborhood of Park Crossing and our sister neighborhood of Cameron Wood just north of Ballantyne .
