I specialize in residential listings and sales in the Tacoma/Pierce County area, specifically: North Tacoma, University Place, Lakewood, Steilacoom, Parkland, Spanaway, South Hill neighborhoods. My production consistently puts me in the top 20% of agents in Tacoma/Pierce County, who are responsible for selling 80% of the residential listings. I am a certified real estate instructor in Washington State. I teach Washington State Real Estate Law, Brokerage Management, Finance to agents needing clock hours to renew their licenses and Real Estate Fundamentals to students preparing to take the real estate license examination.

I've gained solid real estate experience as a licensed broker, branch manager, associate broker and sales associate in Washington State over the past eleven years. Prior to that, I was involved in residential and visitor condominium sales in Hawaii for ten years. I have also worked with Centex Homes, Levitt and Weyerhaeuser Registered Homes. Clients who work with me get professional, courteous service and people who have worked with me in the past say, "Jim Vanderwarker . . . Nobody Moves Faster!"
