With a career in real estate spanning over 35 years, Jim Brooks has worked as a realtor (formerly in IL and NJ since 2008), a home builder, a bank VP for residential lending, and a closing agent for new home loans. Over the past 10 years, The Jim Brooks Group has represented numerous buyers and sellers in distressed sales, including REOs and short sales. With the “Black Book” of ready and willing buyers, a property does not last long as an open listing, and the asset manager can rest assured that these nonworking assets will be moved to the working column quickly.
