Jim Walberg

"I am a husband, a dad, a REALTOR®, a community volunteer, a blogger, a philanthropist, an athlete, a wine detective, a sailor, a skier, a passport stamp junkie and a cancer thriver," is how Jim best describes himself.

A California real estate veteran in the Top 1% of REALTORS® nationwide, Jim Walberg is deserving of and humbled by his professional achievements. Yet his greatest honor is the repeat and referral business he continually receives from a loyal clientele.

“Connecting extraordinary properties with extraordinary lives with our dedication to client services and through plain old hard work” is the philosophy behind his success. Jim is passionate about serving people when making one of life’s most important financial decisions as he builds deep and wide client relationships for life.

Jim began building luxury spec homes in 1974. He later became a founding partner in a boutique brokerage in Danville. In 2005 Jim and his wife, Ann Marie Nugent, joined forces and formed The Bay Area Team. They are now part of the national powerhouse real estate brokerage, Compass. Jim specializes in luxury sales and is the go-to expert on equestrian and country properties. His experience even spans across borders, representing upscale properties throughout Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.
