Makes me sad! I learned a lot from him in my early years of working in real estate lending. We have lost a precious souls and very intelligent man. Hugs and prayers for his family!
So sorry for your loss, Donna!
A true gentleman and mentor.
So sorry for your loss Michael, Maci, and Vena’s. Jim was an incredible man and I didn’t know him nearly as intimately as y’all did. He always treated me like family no matter what. Hugs and prayers to all of you.
I was glad I got to know him as a young man. He will be missed. Prayers for his family
Jim was very instrumental in my early real estate days. He was a fabulous trainer and I know I benefited from his teachings. My condolences to Carol & his family. Rest in Peace Jim.
Ms. Carol I am so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew Jim professionally and his vast knowledge of real estate was phenomenal. He was a true legend in Dickson real estate.
