Jim Kahn, Vice President, Business Manager

Jim Kahn began his career in real estate in 1983. A 1977 graduate of Beaver College, now Arcadia University, (B.A. in English), Jim spent his first few years at Kahn & Company specializing in the appraisal of commercial, industrial, institutional and residential real estate.

In the mid-1980's, Jim stepped into a more active brokerage role with the firm, handling a variety of assignments covering the complete gamut of non-residential real estate. During the next several years, Jim sold or leased a wide variety of churches, gas stations, restaurants, convenience food stores, large industrial buildings, automobile sales and repair facilities, and office space throughout the five county Metropolitan Philadelphia region and Southern New Jersey. During the mid 1990's, Jim took over property and financial management for the company and has focused his efforts on the expansion of brokerage and acquisition in the last several years.

Jim committed his life to the Messiah, Jesus, in 1991 and views his business as an opportunity to share with others the mercy, love, patience and blessings that he has received from the gracious hands of the Lord.
