“It’s all about relationships. Clients can rely on me as a local expert and know that I’m acting in their best interest to get them the best deal. My motto is, ‘Deliver more than clients expect.’”

Jim’s reputation as a local expert and trusted advisor has helped countless businesses navigate Maine’s commercial real market successfully. With over 35 years of experience, Jim focuses on tenant representation in both the office and industrial markets. Working with large national, regional, and local companies, he builds lasting relationships with clients so he can negotiate the best deal on their behalf. He frequently collaborates with Sam LeGeyt, a partnership going back to when Sam started his career with Jim at Harnden Commercial Brokers.
