- experience Jim has over 50 years experience in all aspects of the real estate business. Prior to forming Resource Realty in 1989, Jim was a broker and Industrial/Investments Specialist and one of the early brokers to open the Coldwell Banker Commercial (now CBRE) in Philadelphia. He was later recruited by Cushman & Wakefield of Pennsylvania to manage their Philadelphia Industrial Region, covering Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey and Delaware. Prior to Coldwell Banker, he was hired in the “Loop Management” program for the Law Department/Real Estate Division of Bethlehem Steel Corporation, at the time one of the most prestigious corporate management programs in the “Fortune 100”. Here he handled the disposition, acquisition, leasing and management of corporate real estate assets internationally. This experience has given him the ability and opportunity to work with clients nationally and internationally to become the real estate department a company does not have, or an extension of the one they do have, to solve their real estate problems. Over the course of his career, Jim has handled quite a few site search assignments for large corporations, securing distribution centers in both the United States and Canada. In addition to brokerage services, Jim specializes in consulting, appraisal, development and investment services, nationally and internationally. See More See Less
- education • Cornell University • Lehigh University
- background Jim’s background was one of growing up on a dairy farm in upstate New York which provided him with the work ethic that he has today. Licensed at 18 and a broker at 21, while attending Cornell University School of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Jim helped establish, at the time, one of the largest family farm brokerage companies in upstate New York. He subsequently worked as a subcontractor at an appraisal firm doing condemnation and ad valorem work, which gave him an excellent foundation for valuation. He represented a majority of the property owners in the condemnation proceedings for I-88 a major artery connecting Binghamton to Albany. Following graduating from Cornell he was hired by Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Jim enjoys skiing at his second home in Lake Placid and as a hobby hosts house concerts, both in his home in the Philadelphia area and in Lake Placid, with up and coming songwriters from around the country, many of whom are from Nashville.
