Jim Testa has earned enormous success and respect over his decade-long career in real estate for the focus and dedication he brings to the needs of his customers. Understanding the importance of buying or selling a home, and the life-changing decisions involved, he guides you through the process with integrity, enthusiasm and knowledge to ensure that you make an informed choice that fits your life.

Partnering with Clif Thorn, Jim is part of The Testa/Thorn Team that combines over 18 years of real estate experience, and boasts coveted recognition for their sales achievements. Complementing their knowledge and professionalism is their belief in old-fashioned service, which means that when you hire Jim and Clif, you don’t get assistants returning your calls or showing your property - you get both principals’ full attention at all times. Such premier service makes this partnership sought after by the most discerning clients. Recently they closed a deal involving the third highest price paid for a Manhattan townhouse in 2008, commanding $37.5 million. Needless to say, the team is well versed in the high-end luxury market, but enthusiastically helps clients of all price levels.

Prior to entering real estate, Jim worked as a union deputy on behalf of Broadway stage actors and dancers, negotiating everything from overtime payments to safe working conditions, to a new contract between Radio City Music Hall and the Christmas Spectacular ensemble. Jim also demonstrated his own artistic talents for 15 years as a dancer on Broadway, in film and television. As residents of the Upper West Side and East Hampton, NY, Jim and Clif possess a broad knowledge of the entire Manhattan market, and welcome the opportunity to assist anyone looking to buy or sell, or seeking current information on the market.
