Give him a call to discuss your needs. James Pate was born and raised on a farm in S.W. Morgan Co. Jim attended school in Jacksonville Illinois and was active in several sports and school organizations. In 1976 after graduating Jim was given an opportunity to join the family farm business, after a couple of years in the farming industry Jim purchased his first farm at age 19. At age 20 Jim sold this farm for his first profit in a Real Estate transaction. After 16 years in agriculture Jim left the farming business and proceeded to buy another farm and develop it into several smaller tracts of land. This began a passion in the Real Estate business that led to an Illinois State Real Estate Sales License in 1999. After working for Wooldridge Real Estate for two years and obtaining his Broker License in 2001, Jim became the Managing Broker of another Real Estate Firm in the Jacksonville Illinois area. After a year and a half Jim started what is now one the fastest growing Real Estate Firms in Jacksonville and the surrounding area, "The Real Estate Center of Jacksonville". In April 2008 the name was changed to Prudential Classic Properties. It is a desire of Jim and the rest of the company to treat everyone in a fair matter and be a Biblically Based business, promoting Christian values. We would like to serve your needs, May God Bless!
