Jim Vernes
Sales & Marketing

Jim enjoyed a successful 30 year career in the resort real estate business, orchestrating over $500 million in sales. He choreographed the sales and/or marketing programs for some of the largest and most successful developments in Canada, Mexico and the United States. He created innovative approaches to sales and marketing that established records which still stand in the resort real estate business. In 2008 he decided it was time to lay down his pen and calculator and raise a toast to “life after real estate.”

That's when lightning struck him and he realized just how difficult it is to eat, drink and shake hands at a gathering if you only have two hands. Not wanting to change humanity by figuring out how to add a third hand he chose the easier, more practical concept ~ he invented Mingle Easy ~ a logical approach to making it easy to mingle at parties (better than adding a third hand.)
