Jim is a co-founder of the Farah Goodwin Team at Compass. He hails from the Lone Star State, but he has been a die-hard New Yorker forever and has had a 20- career in Manhattan and Brooklyn real estate. Jim received his BA from Stanford and then his MBA from Wharton and went on to serve as president of his family apparel business, Farah, Inc., a publicly traded company started by his grandfather. At Farah, Jim gained valuable C-suite experience that set him apart from other brokers when he began his real estate career. He found it came naturally to him to identify great investments and to provide finely tuned marketing strategies. Although he is proud to have sold hundreds of millions in property value over the years, his favorite sign of success is his loyal clientele. People keep coming to him every time they move. When a recent buyer said, “Thank you for being more patient with me than I was with you,” it meant the world to Jim. He puts his heart and soul into providing a snag-free process that feels like a walk in Central Park.
Always generous with his time, Jim has done a lot of volunteer work for organizations including Rotary, YMCA, and United Way, and has served on several university boards and councils.
