Jim Maceo is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) serving Los Angeles and Orange Counties (Cal BRE# 01••••22). Jim specializes in the transitioning needs of older homeowners, investment properties, probate sales, as well as getting buyers into their perfect home. An advocate for older homeowners living in safe and manageable living environments, Jim is a frequent speaker on the topics of Aging-in-place, and the benefits of Rightsizing the home. Transferring his talents to the world of real estate in 2012, his business follows 25+ years in film and television production as a Location Scout/Manager and Production Supervisor working on movies ranging from “Sister Act” to “Iron Man 2.” The parallels from his experience in the film industry and real estate were serendipitous; from presenting options and negotiating contracts, as well as having the latitude to adjust to varying personalities. Knowledge of neighborhoods, architectural styles and identifying great properties was a hallmark of his work in film locations. “The day-to-day challenges of working in film and television offered an excitement that fueled my passion for years. Today’s real estate market and transitioning my clients successfully into moving in their new homes, offers me a similar excitement and satisfaction.” To learn more, visit my website at or call direct: 81••••••77.
