I joined Jim's company, Lakes Region Realty, in 2007 after having worked with my previous real estate broker for 12 years. I admired my previous broker for his extensive knowledge in the field of real estate and his admirable ethical practices (not a quality that is readily evident to the public much of the time in this industry). I mention my previous leader / manager only to say that I would not have left (albeit on good terms) unless I had seen and admired these same qualities in Jim Mardis. I felt joining his organization was a step in the right direction for me, and over the past 6 years, I am convinced I made the right move. Jim has always been fair and honest in any dealings with me and I feel he has demonstrated quality leadership of our group of "self employed" real estate agents - never an easy task when one's leader is technically not one's "boss". His command of technical knowledge in this ever growing field of buying and selling has been a great resource to any of us seeking guidance during difficult negotiations, if and when they arise.
