About Jim

I've always been interested in homes and property and community. This together has led to a career in Real Estate. Long before I started to work in the buying and selling of property, I earned experience in many related ways. I worked in construction and supervised the building of homes. I worked in journalism and wrote stories about homes and real estate. Even before I went to work in real estate, I worked for a real estate brokerage in the advertising and promotion of real estate. Some 12 years ago I finally decided it was time to become an agent. Watson's Realty was one of the companies that I was working to promote. I asked the owner if they would consider hiring me as an agent if I earned my license. "Absolutely," was the response, and so it all began. So, I started my Real Estate Agent career at age 62. Almost all of this has taken place in my hometown of the last 35 years, Palm Desert, California. As I care greatly about community, most of it has happened where I've lived for all of this time at Deep Canyon Tennis Club, also in Palm Desert. In addition, I bring a lot of personal knowledge to the table gained in a variety of jobs and careers over many decades. I have been an educator, an editor, a manager and a writer.
