Jim Palmer SR.

Married 59 years with 13 children, 74 grandchildren and 43 great grandchildren, my hobbies include beekeeping, gardening and wilderness camping.

I’ve spent 29 years as a real estate broker representing hundreds of transactions in all aspects of real estate, served on the grievance committee for the Spokane Association of Realtors, 7 ½ years as Designated Broker for Real Estate Marketplace N.W., Inc and now as Managing Broker, mentoring, recruiting and training our growing staff of professional Realtors®.

I always exceed the state mandated continuing education requirements and have earned the following designations:

• ABR – Accredited Buyers Representative
• CNE - Certified Negotiating Expert
• CRB – Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager
• CRS – Certified Residential Specialist
• GRI – Graduate of Realtors Institute

The ability to work with others, developing the skills of leadership, management, problem solving, negotiation and relationship building, along with integrity and a desire to be of service to others have built a reputation of providing honest and competent “extra-mile” service.

The cumulative result is that we have built a successful real estate brokerage firm, Real Estate Marketplace N.W., Inc, starting with two realtors working from a two bedroom house, to 30 plus Realtors® working from a state-of-the-art facility that will accommodate our goal of forty exceptional realtors.  In 2007 Real Estate Marketplace N.W., Inc was awarded “Best in the Northwest – Washington Family Business of the Year.”

By striving to provide legendary service and to be your realtor for life, we have become a firm where our customers send their friends.
