JimDuncan

Jim Duncan is a Realtor (since 2001) and real estate blogger in Charlottesville, Virginia. The author of RealCentralVA.com and a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute in 1998, Jim has always been intrigued by technology, started blogging in January 2005, and has been growing his business ever since.

Jim's real estate blog is widely read and cited by local press. He focuses on marketing properties in the Charlottesville area and exclusive buyer representation and advocates against dual agency.

These are some of the posts he has written in the past several years that have proven useful to buyers and sellers.

Jim has a unique perspective on real estate. Both of his parents are Realtors, and he grew up answering the phones in their office. This perspective, of knowing real estate from the time MLS books were prevalent to today's fractured MLS gives him a different perspective from many. Active in his local and state Realtor associations, Jim served recently on the NAR MLS PAG.

Married with two daughters, Jim is a soccer player and coach. In Charlottesville, Jim is involved in politics and civic engagement, and this involvement finds its way into his writing.

Jim is also the author of RealCrozetVA, a hyper-local blog in Crozet, Virginia.
