About Jim Sullivan

I began my real estate career with Plaza Real Estate in July 2004, after retiring from AT&T with over 25 years of management in Business Communications. Prior to AT&T, I was Director of Telecommunications & Data Networking at Wichita State University for over 10 years. (Go Shocks!) My years of experience in the ever-changing business environment, has really helped me hit the deck running in real estate. I've utilized my acquired skills, such as keeping the customer first, detailed business communications, project management, continuous learning, and truly listening to the customer to keep me on a successful path as a Realtor.

I'm proud to say that in 2005, my first full year in real estate, I reached my goal of over $5 million in closed sales and completed the required education hours and work from the Graduate of Real Estate Institute to earn the GRI designation. In February of 2006, I completed the course work and passed the test and I am now a candidate for ABR, Accredited Buyer's Representative. Finally some credentials other than AARP!

My success so far has been from the great clients that I've had the good fortune of working with and the referrals that they've given me. I'm eternally grateful and hope that you'll allow me to help you too! Due to my client's support, I have been recognized with a "2005 Masters Circle Award". This is the highest award for sells volume, presented by the Wichita Area Association of Realtors.

2006 will be a challenging year, with interest rates on the move and an increasing trend of foreclosures. Keep in mind: home ownership is America's best investment. My most satisfying real estate sale last year was to a teenager. There's no doubt in my mind that he's enjoying good tax savings, building equity, and establishing self-worth this year. Keep in mind that first-time home buyer bond money is available.

If you or anybody you know, (friend, family or neighbor) are thinking about buying or selling a home, please call or email me as you can be rest assured that I will take good care of you or any one that you might refer to me.
