Jim Lane, Broker-Associate, Windermere Real Estate
By Melissa Strand

Jim Lane is a Broker-Associate with Windermere Signature Properties in Roseville and a longtime specialist in the Granite Bay and Roseville real estate markets. Living and working in the community since 1996, Jim brings not only decades of experience but also a genuine appreciation for the area and the people who call it home. From single-family residences and investment properties to land purchases and custom home sites, his clients benefit from deep local knowledge, thoughtful strategy, and a calm, client-first approach.

Real estate has been Jim’s full-time profession, and passion, since 1987. After earning his broker’s license in 1990, he went on to help hundreds of buyers and sellers throughout the Greater Sacramento region. Over the years, many of those clients have become longtime friends, and his business has grown largely through referrals and repeat relationships. It is common for Jim to work with multiple generations of the same family, guiding them through some of life’s most important transitions with care and clarity.

Jim’s dedication and consistent results have placed him among the top 3% of agents company-wide and earned him recognition as the Top Selling Agent in Roseville in 2012. He is a proud life member of the Placer County Masters Club and an active member of the Placer County Association of Realtors. He has also been deeply involved in the Granite Bay community for decades, including longstanding memberships with the Granite Bay Rotary Club and Bayside Church of Granite Bay.

While awards and achievements reflect his professional success, what truly motivates Jim is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for his clients. Known for his integrity, steady guidance, and straightforward communication, he approaches every transaction with the same level of care and respect, regardless of price point or circumstance.

Jim and his wife, Dawna, have been married since 1982 and have built both a family and a professional partnership grounded in loyalty, hard work, and shared values. Together, they raised two sons and proudly call Granite Bay home, a community that has shaped both their personal and professional lives.

Jim always welcomes the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones. Whether someone is buying, selling, or simply exploring their options, he remains committed to providing trusted guidance, local expertise, and the personal attention that have defined his career from the very beginning.
