About Jim
Jim's success is rooted in his ability to truly listen, his common-sense business approach, and his masterful negotiation skills. Known for his patience and attention to detail, he ensures every transaction is handled with precision and care. His passion for real estate began when he purchased his first home with no money down after college, later growing into a deep appreciation for investment properties.
A graduate of Drake University with a master's degree in business and psychology, Jim brings a unique blend of analytical expertise and human insight to every client interaction. Originally from Iowa, he and his wife returned to Kansas City in 2016—the city where they first met and built their family over 30 years ago.
Outside of real estate, Jim enjoys golf, cheering on the Chiefs, and spending time with his family. He and his wife have five beautiful granddaughters, making grand-parenting one of his greatest joys.

Jim was wonderful to work with! He was a great help throughout the process of building and purchasing our new home. We appreciated his support and professionalism.

My wife and I have been through the home buying and selling process more times than we care to discuss, but this was the first time we purchased a newly constructed home. Jim was not only a great agent to work with, but very knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. Thanks, Jim!

My wife and I just closed on our beautiful new home (built by Elevate Design + Build) and were fortunate enough to have Jim Dilley helping us in our journey. It was our first custom build and he was super helpful, insightful and willing to advise every step of the way. Jim went above and beyond to make sure we had the support and info we needed. He is not just your typical realtor, but rather a friendly face that you’d be glad to have on your team when making such important life decisions such as buying and/or building a home. If you are looking for a reliable, personable and knowledgable realtor in KC, Jim is your guy!
