Having a successful game plan has helped Jim Free reach and maintain elite status in real estate in three states for 20 years.

Part of his plan was to carve out a unique and prosperous segment of the real estate market. A market where the property location is key and having offices near the buying consumer to serve them is not forgotten.

Jim Free Realty specializes in resort properties in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. And Jim believes covering this market takes a different business concept. His real estate company believes REALTORS across the industry are treated as his company's partners. For example, he points out that his company markets directly to them and one of his incentives to cooperative REALTORS and brokers whose Georgia clients are buying investment properties in Florida receive a 50-50 split on commissions.

Jim Free Realty's third plan is building relationships in the industry that are mutually beneficial. In part Jim and his agents work with developers with pre-construction sales and updates real estate agents monthly with current market reports.

Personally, Jim is one of those unique individuals who is a high achiever, looking at his background. While building Jim Free Realty into a successful business he was also serving his community as a law enforcement officer, serving 31 years in that capacity and 20 years as chief. He graduated from the FBI National Academy where he received the J. Edgar Hoover award for scholastic excellence. He has served as chairman of the board of advisors for the Salvation Army, president of the Kiwanis Club and is presently on the board of directors of RCW industries. He is active in his church and has been a real estate educator for 15 years, teaching at Floyd College, Berry College, and Jason Free School of Real Estate.

Jim will be the first to tell you he could not have had the company success if it were not for his family, who followed him to the real estate business. As Jim states, "It has been a joy to work with my family and it has only strengthened our family."

Jim has 42 agents and instills the wisdom and advice of one of his mentors, J.L. Todd, who runs one of the largest auction companies told him about being fair and honest with people you are dealing with and always treating them right. Jim says to his agents, "Look for the wise thing to do and don't always go for the easy thing to do in your real estate transactions."

With this type of leadership Jim Free Realty Company will continue to prosper.
