When my husband Nolan and I decided it was time to buy our first house it didn't take long for us to go to Jim Ballard. He had sold my parents the house I grew up in and I always figured he'd be the person I'd go to because I always had a fond memory of him. When we did meet he took the time to figure out exactly what it was we wanted, and steered us away from making any bad investments.
~Tricia, Nolan & Reilly Vollmer

Professional Nanaimo Realtor®

In a Buyer’s Market, don’t you want a Realtor® who actually enjoys working with buyers, rather than pass them off at the first opportunity, often to an inexperienced underling? I give my buyer clients the benefit of everything I’ve learned in over 28 years of negotiating contracts, anticipating problems before they’re problems and with an intuitive sense of what works to keep a sale proceeding smoothly. And I do it all with a light-hearted sense of humour that my clients tell me makes the whole experience less stressful and a lot more satisfying. Call to interview me today. And, by the way, I do “free market evaluations”. Doesn’t everybody?

Answering Questions to Ask When Hiring a Realtor®

I’ve been licensed as a Realtor® in Nanaimo since 1983 with hard won skills, tons of energy and I never stop learning. My daughter Amy is my able partner, newly licensed and brimming with enthusiasm. Among other things, she brings top technical and Web skills to the job. Together we have a Web based marketing plan that is second to none combining outstanding aesthetics with unmatched exposure and providing prospective buyers with the best information available.

For Sellers we provide coverage on MLS, print media, Realtor.ca, jimballardhomes.ca, Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, Kijiji, Smartphone friendly lawn signs, floor plans and full colour, professionally printed in home brochures with fabulous photography and layouts. Call or email for a sample brochure.

For Buyers we have an exclusive “Informed Buyers’ Handbook” explaining the buying process (especially helpful if you’re a first time buyer), providing lots of helpful tips and includes a full set of documents for you to review.

We’re pleased to provide references from past or present clients, so you can find out personally the way we work and the integrity of the service we provide. Subtlety and discretion combined with experience, enthusiasm and a bit of fun is what we do. And we do interviews, too.
