I was born in Houston and raised in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro Area. I moved back to Houston (Dickinson) in 2007 and was happy to live closer to family again. I went into Real Estate because I have a passion for helping people, and how better to do that than to be a part of the process of helping people build a future and live out the American dream of home ownership! Watching people fall in love with their new home, or selling their current one is fun and exciting, and I have had the honor of being in the top 1% of sales in my office, earning the respect of my fellow REALTORS, and helping many clients. Prior to Real Estate, I earned my Bachelor of Business from Dallas Baptist University, and minored in Psychology. I also had worked in telecommunications for 25 years, most recently as a Project Manager/Contracts Negotiator for custom contracts all over the world. My wife, Becky (who is also a Realtor), and I also own a small farm, where we hatch, raise, and sell heritage and specialty breeds of chickens, turkeys, and guineas, as well as farm fresh eggs. We focus on pasture-raised flocks, and feed only high quality and Non-GMO/Soy-free feed products. I look forward to working with you to make your Real Estate dreams a reality!
Jim Atkinson is a Broker Associate, REALTOR® and the Team Lead for Hidden Paradise Realty Team at UTR - Texas, Realtors, located in Houston, Texas, near NASA. Our team is comprised of experienced Agents who have a passion for real estate, and who are ready to assist you with all your buying, selling, or rental needs! Our team is structured differently than most teams, as we don't have buyer's agents or seller's agents, who simply hand you off to someone else once the contract is signed. Rather, we believe in the value of relationships, and we know that the relationship you have with your Agent is extremely vital to you during your home buying, selling or renting experience. We have an amazing Transaction Coordinator to assist you and our Agents throughout the process, but your Agent will remain actively involved - all the way to the closing table and beyond!
