Meet The Team

A career-long interest in real estate was only natural for the enterprising Jim Davis. In the mid 2000s, Jim began working on behalf of large residential and commercial developers. He parlayed that experience into a role as a broker, aiding his clients in transactions, construction management and development, particularly in the luxury space.

Jim likes to start with a big picture approach when partnering with his clients. That perspective allows him to understand his clients’ overall interests and goals, examining investments and portfolios through a lens of long-term success, contemplating investments months or even years out. And while Jim is looking out for his clients interests years in the future, he brings focused attention to individual engagements. He believes that good communication with his clients and his team is key to the success of any project on the table.

Whether his clients are looking to invest or sell assets, Jim’s market knowledge—both local and more broadly—aids him in guiding his clients’ investment decisions in western North Carolina and well beyond the state’s borders.

Jim is a broker associate with NAI Beverly-Hanks, where he assists his clients with commercial real estate acquisitions, disposition and leasing deals of various sizes and asset types. He resides in Asheville, North Carolina and is a member of the North Carolina Economic Development Association.
