Our Team

James Hartford and Lynn Stein. a great Realtor team since 1991

James was our founder, mentor, and all-around fun guy and passed away too soon in 2021

Was passionate about: Abundance. Helping the team. Helping folks through the changes of life…a new dream, an easy downsizing. Was our resident expert on just about anything to do with properties or fixing anything!

Fun Facts

  • Climbed the mast to fix it in the middle of the ocean in a storm
  • Loved to drive a team of draft horses
  • Was a farmer at heart
  • Was an avid tennis player
  • County cottage kid, settled back here on a farm with Lynn and his folks (led the trend on multi-generational living)
