Jim is the founder and broker of NetEquity Real Estate. NetEquity Real Estate is the premier full service independent real estate brokerage on the San Francisco Peninsula. According to a recent report from Inman News, one of the leading real estate industry news websites," independent brokers are more prevalent now than they have been in the last decade. Independent firms do business without the fees, rules, and bureaucracy of a franchisor. Local control of branding and technology makes independent companies nimble." At NetEquity Real Estate we like to think we're ahead of the curve because we were independent before it was trendy. Our business model is unique because we provide strategic marketing, superior service, and low commission. A few provide the first two but no large national franchise or independent brokerage provide all three.
