About Me
In life, there are those who forget the importance of family, and the value it brings to an idividual. Jim Tutton is one of those rare individuals who understand that without family he would have grown into the quailty person he is today. Indeed, anyone who knows Jim will tell you, he is a man defined by his genuine family attitude.

Those who’ve worked with Jim, whether during his days with Mayflower Vanlines, through his youth coaching commitments or church, know him as someone who does what it takes to get the job done. But, more importantly, they know him as someone who truly cares about making a positive difference in the lives of those around him—especially his family. "My wife and kids are the most important people in my life," he says. "Eveything I do in life revolves around how it will affect them."

It’s an attitude that’s also reflected in Jim’s career. When he became a real estate professional in 1997, his commitment to putting families first has made him one of the areas more respected REALTORS. In Jim's eleven years as a REALTOR, he has always enjoyed the hands-on, personal work of assisting his clients to reach their buying and selling goals, and today that’s his focus. As one of his satisfied clients puts it, "He is a true professional who believes in getting the job done in the fastest, most efective way possible. When his clients need him, he's there, making sure their best interest are met."

Jim has never lost sight of the fact that real estate is not about properties, it’s about his relationship with people. “I am not in the real estate business,” he says, “but in the business of building relationships.” His experience and unique marketing skills enable him to do just that. Together with his Windermere support staff, he makes sure each home sale has a successful outcome, leaving his clients to think..."What an Outstanding Experience."

Buying a home is an exciting and complex adventure. It can also be a very time-consuming and costly one if you're not familiar with all aspects of the process, and don't have all the best information and resources at hand.

I do not have a basis to go by, but if renters in the area are detroying the common areas than I guess it is the HOA's right to ask for a deposit if a homeowners chooses to rent there homes. The other choice could be to raise the dues for everyone to cover loss and damages. In other areas that have HOA it is common for the HOA to even limit the number of rentals that are allowed. - Tue Sep 2 2008, 21:06

I have not heard of any issues with the condos. In fact I will be listing one on the second floor for just $195,000 this week. Many townhomes and condos have been on the market for a while in Tacoma do to the large inventory. Now may be the best time to obtain one of these units. If you would like to see it give me a call 253-222-8595. - Mon Jul 14 2008, 22:25

Manufactured homes a good or bad idea?

Jim Tutton answered:
Jim,

You say you have been looking ofr months with out success and now are considering a manufactured home. Historically they do not appreciate as well as a single family home or a condo. If I were you I would lower my expectations of what kind of sigle family home or condo I could afford before going onto the manufactured home route. Keep in mind the area that you want to live in. Not all areas have a large selection to choose from as far as manufactured homes go. What is your budget? - Tue Mar 4 2008, 17:22
Jim Tutton answered:
You may close anytime that is mutaully agreed on by both the buyer and the seller. The lender must still be able to get the loan processed and documents to escrow. Keep in mind that the earlier you close in a month the higher your closing cost may be. This is due to the proration of property taxes and interest on your new loan. - Tue Mar 4 2008, 17:18
