Jim Kasten, CCIM, joins the Phoenix office of Coldwell Banker Commercial® as an Associate Broker. Over the past 26 years, he and his team have brokered more than 1,200 apartment communities, exceeding $1 billion in value. Since 1998, he has been providing apartment market research through his Metro Phoenix Apartment Owner’s Newsletter, which he publishes quarterly. He also has served as an expert witness representing apartment owners and has been appointed by the Maricopa Family Court when spouses disagree on real estate matters.
“I have affiliated with Coldwell Banker Commercial® to resume my multifamily brokerage and lead an investment services team,” said Kasten. “With 26 years as an experienced, recognized and successful apartment broker in metro Phoenix, I provide the insight investors seek and have an intense dedication to providing the best service possible for my clients.”
In 1975, he received a master’s degree in geology from the University of New Mexico and conducted worldwide mineral exploration for major companies. In 1998, he transitioned to real estate and formed the Kasten Long Apartment Team.
