Jim Arnal
For the last 20 years Jim has been one of the top producing Realtors in Portland.
I started my practice in 2002 after years of wielding a hammer for Habitat for Humanity and ultimately choosing real estate over architecture. In my initial years as a Realtor, I spent every day studying market trends, beefing up on my construction knowledge and developing my contract experience. I would apply myself with the goal of knowing as much as possible about the market (past and present), the history of construction science in Portland and every nuance of what distinguished each of Portland’s neighborhoods. I endeavored to have the deepest knowledge base in our industry so I could provide the most valuable possible counsel to my clients. After over 20 years supporting homebuyers and sellers throughout Portland, my practice stands today as one of the strongest in Oregon.
When I am not with my clients, I am on the side of a soccer field cheering on my kids, in my Carharts tackling a project, on my skis at Meadows or riding my mountain bike in the Gorge.

Accolades
Jim offers a track record with two decades of successful contract negotiations and industry-leading sales statistics.
