A native of Ocean City, I reside here with my wife, Betty, and our six children, James ( 17 ), Thomas ( 15 ), Robert, ( 12 ), Kathryn Rose ( 8 ), Kristin Elizabeth ( 6 ) and Julie Christine (3)!.

For generations my family has owned property and in "America's Greatest Family Resort", dating as far back as the turn of the century.

I became a licensed Realtor in 1977 and obtained a real Estate Broker's license in 1980.  During my career I have sold and marketed hundreds of property.

I was selected Realtor of the The Year for the Ocean City Board of Realtors in 1984, and obtained the professional designation as a G.R.I. in 1985.

In 1982 I became a partner in Robert L. Sharp Real Estate, a firm that maintained two Ocean City offices until I sold the business in July 1989 to Hager Real Estate, Inc., which merged with Prudential Fox and Roach Realtors on November 14, 2003.

As a member of the Ocean City Board of Realtors I have joint membership in the New Jersey Association of Realtors and National Association of Realtors. I have been involved in many committees over the years, including Computers, Budget and Finance, Education and Indoctrination, and Professional Standards.

Each year since 1992 I have qualified as a member of the New Jersey Association of Realtors Million Dollar Sales Club, an award presented in recognition of outstanding sales achievement.

Don't just hire a company, hire a person. Real Estate is a personal service business.  Expect knowledge and skill from the Realtor that you choose in the areas of financing, contracts, negotiating and marketing.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell a home I promise results and communication along the way.  I invite you to call me to explore how I may assist you !

Buying A Home

When buying a home -- whether it's your first, second, or a getaway vacation home -- you're bound to have many questions. For example, how will you find a home that suits your needs? How much money will you need to afford the monthly payments? And how long will the home buying process take?

Selling Your Home

When selling your home there are no guarantees that a buyer will simply walk through the front door. In many cases you may have to bring your home to the buyer. Effective marketing will help ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing and able buyer.

When you work with Jim Marshall, you can count on a specialist who can answer your questions, apply in-depth knowledge of current market conditions, and access extensive resources that can expedite the sale of your home.
