Jim Blake

I started in real estate 20 years ago when I bought my first three rental properties. An elementary school teacher at the time, real estate investment became a passion and an additional source of income. In 2004, I received my Real Estate Sales License and began working with Prudential Realty. I quickly realized that as a Realtor, there is nothing better than helping others with what I love to do! Experienced in real estate sales, investment, and property management, I achieved my Brokers License in 2014. I now manage The Jim Blake Homes Team with Lisa Drake Properties. Work ethic, dedication, open communication, strong negotiating skills, and a firm understanding of the buying and selling process are what I promise to bring to the table for each of my clients. My goal is to provide every buyer and seller that I work with an excellent customer service experience that will last far beyond the close of escrow. As a buyer's agent, I know the market. I will be there for you and committed to you every step of the way. I will listen to your wants and needs, I will keep you informed, and I will guide you through the process as we work together to find your perfect home. When that happens, I will do everything I can to ensure that your offer gets accepted! As a seller's, or listing agent, I will work with you to ensure that your home stands out among the others. I will provide you a market analysis of your home's value to help set a competitive price. I will market in many ways and advertise with professional photography to entice as many buyers as possible. I will keep you informed of all activity. And, I will be there for you every step of the way!
