Residing in Northern Colorado for nearly two decades now, James demonstrates the positives and negatives to living in Midtown, the west side, Old Town, Windsor, northern lakes area, Harmony corridor, east of I-25, Loveland, and so many other great parts of Northern Colorado.

Breadth of knowledge. Rocky Mountain High School SAC Board member, mountain biking, brewing beer, maintaining the neighborhood green space (through a city grant), hiking, growing and foraging fruits and vegetables, skiing, keeping bees, currently working on ice skating and snowboarding skills. All combined, these activities keep James well connected in the community, and help him understand others' passions.

Open-minded. Before kids, the Sacks taught English in Japan, and were fortunate enough to travel SE Asia and Africa. They have hosted international students in their home for 18 plus years, providing them with insight into unique cultural traits.

Passion for homes. Shelby claims that he was always meant to do this. He has flipped houses, built an entire ICF house from the ground up, and has been a secret Open House crasher for years now. Searching out residences, evaluating homes, readying a home for maximum appeal and sales price-this is what he truly loves.

Negotiator. Treat people the way you would like to be treated. Inject humor, humility, straight-forwardness. This is how James negotiates.

Marketing expertise. James earned an undergraduate Business-Marketing degree from the University of Nebraska, Kearney, and keeps up with the latest in social media and online marketing through continuing education.
