Professional Bio

A Career Built in the Wasatch

Jim Williams is a licensed REALTOR® and Principal Broker/Owner of Williams Realty, P.C., with 30+ years selling Utah real estate and 25+ years as a licensed broker. Active across both PCMLS and WFRMLS, Jim serves Salt Lake City, Alta, Snowbird, Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Holladay, Park City, and the broader Wasatch Front. A Mike Ferry and Tom Ferry trained agent with advanced negotiation training, Jim has built one of the most production-consistent careers in the state — ranking in the top 1% of local MLS agents, with over $100 million in career volume, 364 recorded Zillow transactions across a price range of $209K to $2.3M, and an average sale price of $886K. He holds a 5.0-star rating from 42 verified Zillow reviews and is also verified on Google with 13+ client reviews.

Jim's career launched in 1994 when he earned the Better Homes and Gardens Rising Star Award and joined the International Presidents Council — reserved for agents in the top 2% of the company nationwide. After earning his broker's license, he partnered with Centex Homes, then one of America's five largest homebuilders, to lead their expansion into the Utah market. That experience became the foundation for Williams Realty, P.C., where Jim remains personally active in listing and selling property — keeping him directly connected to the market conditions, pricing trends, and negotiation dynamics that matter most to his clients.

As one of the only agents who owns property, lives, and skis in Alta year-round, Jim brings rare firsthand expertise to Utah ski real estate — from Alta cabins and Snowbird condos to high-end Wasatch mountain investments. When he's not driving the desk, Jim spends his time with his wife Susannah and their twins, Tucker and Greta — a grounding reminder of what home really means. He serves first-time buyers, move-up clients, relocation buyers, and seasoned investors, and speaks English, Spanish, and German. With dual MLS membership across PCMLS and WFRMLS, Jim and Williams Realty offer comprehensive market coverage from Park City to the Salt Lake Valley — backed by 30 years of relationships, rigorous sales training, and a reputation built one transaction at a time.
