• Committed with all his heart

 

Jimmy approaches real estate with a hockey-player’s feisty stance: direct, face-front, and ready to go to the mat for his clients. A veteran of the valley who earned his chops in golf course development, Jimmy is the guy who gets the deal done without fuss, muss or ego. You won’t hear big-number bragging, but what you will hear is unwavering honesty — that’s Jimmy, calling a spade a spade. If something isn’t what it should be, you’ll hear it first from Mr. Bain. Low key about his accomplishments, Jim brings discipline and a razor-sharp mind for negotiation to every transaction. His pragmatic and straightforward manner aligns perfectly with his no-nonsense executive clientele. Too busy for a long visit? Jim is your eyes and ears, keeping you informed and connected to opportunities and options while you’re away. Comfortable with the quirks of the Aspen market, Jim knows that what buyers think may be very different from what they truly want. With time, patience and experience on his side, Jim will find the right answers for everyone involved. As warm as a handshake, as clever as a fox, Jimmy’s easy smile and relaxed demeanor belie an unquenchable energy that doesn’t quit until everybody’s happy.
