Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jim Croskey has an extremely long and varied career, which makes it challenging to estimate his hourly rate. However, considering his experience in management, grant writing, and real estate transactions, I would place him in a similar category to other professionals with similar skills and experience. Looking at average rates for management and real estate professionals in the United States, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is on the lower end due to his unique background and lack of traditional industry experience.
