Jim Pfeifer

Pfeifer has gained notability for his professional enthusiasm and his real estate successes, including several developments where he was a key instrument. He is popularly known as ‘Coach Closer” a nickname given to him by his assistant after coaching the close of his second multi-million dollar escrow. He is also known for his catchphrase "Everything I touch turns to SOLD" and his likeness to the coach of his favorite football team, Pete Carroll of the USC Trojans. A likeness in both in resemblance and ideology, each placing emphasis on maintaining a positive attitude and approaching all challenges and triumphs as an opportunity to grow and get better. “Eliminate all negatives,” a motto which Carroll and Pfeifer share.
Starting with the idea of developing riverfront property sandwiched between the beautiful Colorado River and the 18 hole Championship Golf Course in Needles, CA now known as Rio Buena Vista, Jim’s imagination for Needles, CA has proven time and again that with hard work and dedication, imagination sparks reality. Pfeifer continues with a strong vision, thus several other multi-million dollar residential and commercial projects, ¾ of which are river frontage, continue to move forward.
Jim Pfeifer remains a major figure in the field of real estate in Needles, California and a current town role model for his prominent role in the continued growth and promotion of the historical city on Route 66. When 10.28 acres of river frontage had gone dead after many an agent tried their hand at selling the property, Pfeifer stepped in and the land is now in the pre-groundbreaking stages for the Needles River Walk bringing new tenants, dining, jobs and affordable luxury condos to the people.
Pfeifer has several redevelopment/construction projects under way at present. The level of success of the progress of the projects varies. Over 20 years of experience and skill are just a fraction of what makes Jim Pfeifer an agent for the people.

Born and raised in Newport Beach, CA, Jim Pfeifer was taught the old fashioned work ethic by working on the family farm located on 20th and Tustin in Costa Mesa, CA. His father leased land from the Irvine Co. above the back bay where West Cliff now has hundreds of homes. The family grew sweet potatoes, corn, tomatoes, alfalfa and Pfeifer's Famous Broad Breasted Bronze Young Turkeys. Jim worked his way through school by selling vegetables at a road side stand. He attended mostly Seventh Day Adventist Christian Schools until enrolling at Orange Coast Jr. College playing on the football team and even getting in a play or two in the 1963 Jr. Rose Bowl game! Meeting that challenge, and without a scholarship, his goal was to walk on at the University of Southern California under the legendary coach John McKay. Not long after, he injured his leg at an informal practice, ending his football career for good.

Jim was one of the original partners in the SkiMart on the Coast highway in Newport Beach and has had several successful retail orientated business's. In 1989 Jim, his lovely wife Barbara, and his mother Frances moved to Needles, CA. to enjoy R&R on the Colorado River.
