Jim Manson

With over 20 years of real estate experience in the Newport area, Jim has a treasure trove of market knowledge to share with his clients. Jim grew up in Pittsburgh and graduated from Robert Morris College. He began his marketing career in Boston with a retail leather goods store on Charles Street which grew to include stores in Amherst, MA, Martha's Vineyard, New Orleans and Honolulu. After the birth of his first daughter in 1985, Jim and wife, Diane, settled in Newport, and Jim began selling commercial and residential property. By the time his son was born, Jim had developed a loyal following of commercial and residential clients many of whom still work with him today. He is a consistent top producer who, at one time or another, has listed or sold the majority of commercial properties in downtown Newport.
