About Jim Potter

Bio

Being raised in the town of Ludlow and now a resident of Belchertown since 1988, this area of central Mass is truly my home. I married my best friend Pauline in 1985 and we have two children, Jennifer and Rebecca. Both went through the entire Belchertown School System from Kindergarten to graduating High School. My work background consists of over 30 years in residential and commercial construction along with raw land development. Most of these years were spent as a Foreman, Job Supervisor, Heavy Equipment Operator, and Survey Foreman for job layout. Blueprint reading along with the knowledge of different soils and soil conditions are a must in this field. The knowledge of how homes, buildings, roads, septic systems are built and designed are just some of my specialties. Having the opportunities to work closely with builders in the area along with all other trades definitely comes in handy. Being a licensed Title V installer over the past years also helps me know the area and officials in different area towns. I started off my new career in Real Estate in the Spring of 2007. This is a great move for me being that I could stay in an associated field that was my profession for so many years. I wanted to be able to help people with the most difficult decisions of their lives and to know they are being taken care of with the professional and friendly service they deserve. My specialties include Residential home Sales for both Sellers and Buyers, New Construction, Raw Land Development, First Time Home Buyers.
