James Norman, Principal
Over Jim’s notable 41 year career he has worked for some of the region’s most recognized real estate firms including University Properties, Coldwell Banker, and Wright Runstad & Company.
Jim started his own company, The Norman Company in 1981. In its 17 years of existence it grew to include 85 employees focused on leasing, sales, property management and consulting on strategic real estate issues for some of the Pacific Northwest’s most prominent companies including Washington Mutual Bank, Boeing, US Bank, Regence Blue Shield and Premera Blue Cross. The Norman Company was acquired by Trammel Crow in 1998. Jim then started Sage Real Estate Strategies in 2000 to build upon the strategic work perfected at The Norman Company. Jim, David Ray and Gregor Miller formed MetPartners in 2003 to optimally align a client-centric focus with diverse skills and a singular high standard of integrity.
