Jim Kemper Inducted into 2024 Midwest CRE Hall of Fame

Midwest Real Estate News has announced their 2024 Hall of Fame inductees. This is a tremendous accomplishment for real estate professionals who have made a difference in their industry and communities.

Congratulations to Jim Kemper, Vice President, 
on his induction into 2024 Midwest CRE Hall of Fame.

Jim Kemper has been a key member of NAI Isaac since 1991, specializing in the sales and leasing of retail, office, land, and bank properties, as well as tenant representation. Throughout his career, he has assisted numerous local, regional, and national tenants with site selection, lease negotiations, and property evaluations for multiple locations across Kentucky. Some of the brands he has worked with include Starbucks, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Great Clips, AT&T, Bella Café, Sun Tan City, and Bojangles.

"It's fulfilling to visit the communities where I work, meet clients, and your properties. I also see my role as a problem-solver. There's a sense of accomplishment in successfully navigating challenges and completing a transaction."

Kemper has also played a crucial role in leasing several new construction and "turnaround" properties in Central, Southern, and Western Kentucky. He has collaborated with lenders on properties they have repossessed, achieving success in their disposition. Kemper has represented major banks like PNC Bank and US Bank in selling several surplus properties throughout the state.

One of Kemper's most significant accomplishments includes representing the developer of the Richmond Centre, a large retail development. He was instrumental in the assemblage and purchase of 120 acres along I-75 in Richmond, KY, which has since become the largest retail center on I-75 between Lexington, KY, and Knoxville, TN. He continues to serve as the leasing representative for the center, handling leasing, the sale of out parcels, and renewals for anchor and small shop tenants.

"Persistence is one of the key factors that has contributed to my success in this industry. It helps me stay focused and motivated to achieve the goals we set. I also make it a priority to stay well-informed about every aspect of the transactions I’m involved with until each one is completed. Keeping up with market trends and understanding both macro and microeconomic factors also play a role in my ability to succeed in this business."
