About Grayslake Illinois REALTOR, Jim Starwalt

I am a full time realtor. I am 100% dedicated to the complete satisfaction of my clients. I started my career at the age of 20 with my own Contracting/Roofing company that I owned and operated for 15 years in Lake County, Illinois. This gives me knowledge and skills that are very useful in the world of real estate. I know how homes are built and what keeps them together. I have extensive knowledge in the materials and processes used to construct homes.

I have been selling real estate since 1998 with my wife and real estate partner, Susan. We work together as a team leaving no detail unattended to. Susan is our closing coordinator, marketing department, and generally keeps me on track. I am the one on the GO! This leaves me available and free for showings, appointments, home inspections etc. - making me available at your schedule.

Susan and I have raised our two boys here in the Grayslake Illinois area, and they are off to college now, so we also are in touch with the needs of a growing family!
