Jim Brown

Jim is in his 30th year of being a real estate agent. Licensed in 1989, he became a broker in 1990, and Brown Properties was established in 1993. Since 1989, he has focused exclusively on commercial and industrial sales and leasing. In November 2002 he was awarded the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation by the CCIM Institute, a division of the National Association of Realtors. As a graduate from Mississippi State University in 1981 with a degree in business, Jim joined the North Mississippi Industrial Development Association in West Point, MS. From 1982 until 1988, he was the Executive Director of the DeSoto County MS Economic Development Council. During his tenure there was an average of 8 new companies per year locating to DeSoto County, with an average of 10 existing companies per year expanding their operations there. In 1988, prior to becoming a full-time real estate agent/broker, Jim served as Director of Business Development with Carothers Construction Company until 1990. These experiences in the public and private sectors have given Jim the insight of how vital a community’s attitudes are toward creating and maintaining a pro-business environment. Jim and his wife, Melinda, are members of Grace Bible Church and have two children and three grandchildren. They actively support the MidSouth Music Institute which oversees CoroRio, a 200+ member community choir for ages 8 to adults.
