Residential Properties Ltd. Sales Associate Jim DeRentis has been featured on the cover of the latest issue of Top Agent Magazine. DeRentis is the chair of the Providence Redevelopment Authority and is also co-founder of Markham + DeRentis Associates, listed on the Real Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents report for each of the past two years. The feature article discusses how DeRentis first got into real estate after 25 years in the banking industry, including 15 years as chief business officer of a retail banking network. “I’ve always been involved in the industry from both a development and financing perspective,” he admits. “Real estate was a career path that just felt natural to me.” The article also expounds upon DeRentis’ business philosophy and how he approaches each of his listings. He understands what a major life decision any real estate transaction can be for his clients and treats each one accordingly. “I strive to give each property the attention to detail it truly deserves,” DeRentis is quoted as saying. “For most people, this is the biggest asset they have - their biggest investment - and as such, these properties deserve to be handled with a business-level approach.” As one of the top agents in the state, DeRentis has enjoyed continued success this year, recently closing on the $4,000,000 sale of the
William E. and Clara A. Bridgham Estate, one of the last intact family estates on the historic East Side of Providence. To read the full article, visit
