Expertise in Lancaster
 Real Estate and
 Manheim Real Estate

"Uncommon Service"


Manheim and Lancaster Realtor
(Jim sells all over Lancaster County)



Finding a home or property in a county that is being called a "Real Estate Safe Haven" for May 2009 remains, at times, somewhat competitive. Despite the market decline nationally, nice properties still don't sit long in Lancaster! Obviously the $8,000 tax credit offered to first time home buyers has fostered tremendous activity in the "under $200,000" market. Jim will meet with you to help you assess your needs and means as well as the current purchasing "landscape" so that you can narrow your focus on the best investment in one of the best counties in the nation!




Past Lancaster Real Estate Client References

May 2009 "... we interviewed many agents... Jim was exactly what we were looking for. ...we finally found the house of our dreams; Jim was extremely helpful in negotiations. Jim went above and beyond...providing... more then we expected from our agent. Jim does not look at being a real estate agent as his job - it is truly his "passion". We were extremely satisfied...

"Jim was able to help us identify and purchase a newer home that we feel was an amazing deal. We bought the property far below appraised value and we had immediate equity when we moved in. Jim guided us with great advice and insight into which homes were the wisest investment and negotiated a strong deal. We would highly recommend him..."

Past Seller Client Testimonials

"....his marketing skills made the difference..."

"My wife and I listed with Jim because of his outstanding attention to detail and marketing. The inviting pictures and decriptions he posted on the MLS and ads generated a tremendous of amount of interest. In the end, we believe his marketing skills made the difference as we were able to secure a cash deal and sell our home for above asking price in the difficult market of late 2008. Jim also provided excellent guidance during the purchase process as well. Thanks to his advice were able to purchase a home for nearly $40K below appraised value!

"...appreciated Jim's energy, integrity and cutting-edge marketing..."

"I'm a salesmanager and in sales you measure success by the bottom line and Jim sold our place for the highest price/sq ft ever in our development in only 2 weeks. The pressure was on to produce a sale quickly because we had already targeted our dream home. What was more impressive was that he sold it when the news papers were calling the market "dead" in the fall of 2007."

"My wife and I appreciated Jims energy, integrity and cutting-edge program to help us make a quick, profitable move with less head-ache. Real Estate has gotten so complicated that having a professional you can trust like Jim is a "must". We highly recommend Jim to those who want to make sure the hard work they put into their home comes back to them with the best sale price."
