A Career Built in the Wasatch
Jim Williams is the Principal Broker/Owner of Williams Realty, P.C., operating publicly as Williams Realty Utah. Based in Alta, Jim has 30+ years of Utah real estate experience, including 25+ years as a licensed broker. He serves Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, Park City, Deer Valley, the Cottonwood Canyons, and the Salt Lake Valley, with a focus on Utah ski, mountain, luxury, confidential, and off-market real estate. His public record includes 360+ recorded transactions and 46 five-star Zillow 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.
Jim's independent brokerage is legally Williams Realty, P.C. and operates online as Williams Realty Utah at WilliamsRealtyUtah.com.
For qualified clients who need controlled access and communication, Jim also provides privacy-first representation for confidential and off-market Utah ski properties.
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.
