About Jim
Jim has worked in Marin County real estate since 1992. In that time he has represented first-time buyers in Novato, long-time owners downsizing out of Kentfield, and families relocating into San Rafael from across the country. The approach has not changed: understand what the client actually needs, price and negotiate from data, and stay reachable.
His finance background shapes how he reads a market. Comparable sales, appraisal risk, carrying costs, and financing structure are part of every conversation — not an afterthought once an offer is on the table. Buyers get an honest read on what a home is worth. Sellers get a listing price grounded in what is actually closing nearby.
Because he grew up here, Jim can tell you which block floods, which schools draw which families, and how a ten-minute difference in commute changes value. That knowledge is hard to research and impossible to fake.

Communities
Six towns, six very different markets. Here is how Jim describes each one to clients before they start looking.
Marin's most spacious residential setting, with ranch and traditional homes, mature street trees, and easy access to open-space trails.
Explore Novato
The county seat, mixing hillside neighborhoods and downtown-adjacent streets with a genuine mix of architecture and price points.
Explore San Rafael
Refined, quiet streets with mature greenery, hillside homes, and a short walk or ride to Bon Air and the Corte Madera Creek path.
Explore Greenbrae
Tree-lined roads, larger lots, and a private but welcoming atmosphere at the base of Mount Tamalpais.
Explore Kentfield
Hillside neighborhoods with contemporary and midcentury homes, bay views, and everyday shopping minutes from the door.
Explore Corte Madera
Rolling hills, protected open space, and a string of distinct small towns just north of the Golden Gate.

Responsiveness, careful pricing, and negotiation that holds under pressure.
Jim sold my house in San Rafael. He gave me great advice on how to stage my house and get it ready for sale. Jim impressed me by always being on time and being very knowledgeable about the market and how to price my house and sell it quickly. Jim was easy to work with, very professional, and very responsive.
David Nichols — San Rafael home seller
I've known and done business with Mr. Shroyer for 10 years. He has represented me in 2 purchases. I was a Real Broker for 20 years, Real Estate Developer and built over 400 homes in Marin County and Sonoma County. I wouldn't think of anyone else that I would allow to represent me in a purchase or sale. I don't generally give endorsements easily, but have no problem whatsoever in giving Mr. Shroyer the best of recommendations, he has earned it.
Lisa Rago — Marin County real estate buyer
Jim has helped my wife and I with our real estate needs for the last 17 years. We have purchased and sold our home as well as rental property through Jim. His understanding of the markets and his negotiating skills are outstanding. We have referred Jim to our friends and family. In my humble opinion, a true sign of a professional realtor is that you trust him enough to refer him to the people you care about, knowing that they will get the very best representation. We will never use anyone else. Jim is our agent for life.

I have known Jim for almost 30 years and can honestly say he is one of the most hardworking, knowledgeable, and kind people I have ever met. His integrity, compassion, and understanding of both his profession and the needs of his clients are a few of the many reasons I rely on him exclusively for my real estate needs. Over the decades, my husband and I have bought and sold several properties with Jim at the helm and received the same level of care and service no matter the situation. He is calm under pressure, reassuring, communicative, and always gets his clients over the finish line. Thank you Jim for always being there when I need you!
Lynne Liebmann — Long-term real estate buyer & seller
I've known Jim both personally and professionally for 30 plus years and welcome his expert insight and knowledge of the Marin/Sonoma market. I definitely recommend him for your real estate needs.
