The Long Version
Some Realtors know the market. Others know construction. Some understand design, hospitality, photography or marketing. Jim Stark brings all of those perspectives together. With a career spanning more than 25 years of custom luxury home building, hospitality, professional photography and entrepreneurship, Jim offers clients the ability to see a property from every angle, not just as a house, but as a home, an investment and a lifestyle.
Having built high end custom homes and worked with discerning clients throughout his career, Jim understands craftsmanship, quality construction and what creates lasting value. His trained eye helps buyers recognize hidden potential while helping sellers present their homes in ways that capture attention and inspire confidence.
As a longtime creative professional and photographer, Jim believes every property has a story worth telling. From compelling marketing to thoughtful presentation, he approaches each listing with the mindset that exceptional homes deserve exceptional representation.
Jim holds the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) designation, is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), and carries NAR’s Green Designation. Now proudly serving clients with Coldwell Banker Realty in Sedona, he combines the strength and global reach of one of the world’s most respected real estate brands with the personalized service of a trusted local advisor.

Jim Stark went above and beyond to make the realty process smooth. He was thoughtful of both us as sellers and of the buyer he worked with. His years as a contractor came in handy for this particular lot sale, which was helpful! We have worked with Jim as our realtor before, and we really just value him in so many ways. He is truly a kind person, which makes all the difference!!
