James Shive
In 2019, Jim Shive will have been a real estate agent for 12 years. Before becoming a well-known architectural photographer, Jim worked as a Realtor on the East Coast for the industry-leading Weichert firm. Jim has been employed by Prudential Sandia since he settled in New Mexico in 2008. In July 2018, Jim signed on with Keller Williams, the state’s most successful real estate agency.
Jim’s specialty is working with clients in the Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, and Corrales areas to buy and sell homes. Jim is happy to work with anyone, whether they are first-time buyers looking for their first home or seasoned homeowners looking for help in getting their home ready for sale, marketed, and closed. Jim is an expert in the high-end real estate sector as well.
We also directly contact and market to the top 20% of top-selling Realtors in NM, and Jim has had great success listing and selling homes that had been listed with other agents but had not sold.
These high-end marketing resources are only available to a select group of real estate agents. Jim is especially proud of the fact that he always returns phone calls and follows up on matters. Open houses, online promotions, banners, and display signs are just some of the other tools in Jim’s marketing toolbox when it comes to showcasing homes for sale.

Estate broker (20 years experience) Agent for Purchasers, Agent for Sellers, Consulting, and Property Management are Just Some of Our Specialties Depth of knowledge, genuine quality and experience, and old-fashioned service are all things you should look for and demand when purchasing or selling a home.
You should not hire a new or part-time agent even if they are a friend of a friend or a family member, this does not mean they are qualified to look out for your best interests. When it comes to buying or selling a home, I am the go-to expert. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, and as an avid real estate investor, I buy and sell homes in the area regularly (I do between six and eight renovations and flips annually). Knowing that is VITAL.
For my clients, I have honed my already formidable search and negotiating abilities, and for my clients, I have created cutting-edge and highly effective marketing strategies. I’ll take a look around your home and give you a detailed report on what needs to be done, how much it’ll cost, and who can get it done quickly and affordably, all to increase your net dollar return. Whether you’re in the area or not, you can count on me to be your “one-stop shop.” I will handle all of the details, from estate sales to minor repairs to get the house ready to show and sell to the final cleaning, staging, and disposal of unwanted items.
I believe that my team and I offer the only all-inclusive solution to help you go from concept to sale quickly and easily. I’ll be honest about how much I think we can sell it for and how much money you’ll make. When it comes to business, marketing, and real estate, no other agent in Albuquerque can compare my breadth and depth of knowledge.
More than a decade has passed since I founded my real estate firm and became its president and a qualifying broker. I have a master’s degree in business administration from the University of New Mexico and served for six years in the United States Navy. Working on multi-million dollar contracts for the US Department of Energy has given me a wealth of business experience, including excellent negotiation and risk management skills.
Because of my adaptability and openness to feedback from clients, I offer fair and flexible commission structures (we work creatively to solve any situation you have). In a nutshell, I have the knowledge and experience to guide you to the perfect home at the most affordable price.
