Jim Kasten

Over the past 25 years, Jim and his team have brokered more than 1,200 apartment communities, exceeding $1 billion in value.
Jim received a Master’s Degree in Geology in 1975 from the University of New Mexico and conducted worldwide mineral exploration for major companies. In 1998, he transitioned to real estate and formed the Kasten Long Apartment Team. This team achieved national and international awards and was consistently ranked among the top five commercial teams worldwide from 2003 to 2008. In 2008, Jim established the Kasten Long Commercial Group, maintaining a focus on apartments and investments. He recently joined Coldwell Banker Commercial to re-start his multifamily brokerage and provide support to the entire company.
The ethics, analytical process, and dedication that Jim learned in geology have permeated his career in commercial real estate. He has an intense dedication to knowing every aspect of apartment brokerage and providing the best service possible for his clients. In addition to brokerage, Jim also provides apartment market research, including the Metro Phoenix Apartment Owner’s Newsletter, which he has published quarterly since 1998. He has also served as an expert witness representing apartment owners and has been appointed by the Maricopa Family Court when spouses disagree on real estate matters.
