Jim Cornelison’s Summary:Jim Cornelison’s video

Jim Cornelison, opera singer, gave an impressive performance of the national anthem today, during the Seahawks vs Bears pre-game show.
His move to become a licensed real estate agent stemmed from his personal experience in real estate investment and his belief in the opportunities available there.. A numbers guy, Jim has actively traded stocks and stock options for his personal accounts and takes pride in his ability to understand and explain the costs associated with the real estate transaction. "I think this is the result of having a possibly uptight accountant for a father."



Since 1993 Jim has been a professional opera singer. Traveling around the United States with his wife and son, Jim followed singing opportunities until he came to Chicago in 1995 to join the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists. During his tenure there, he was seen in numerous productions and after leaving in 1998 sang on stages throughout the U.S. and Europe. Often negotiating contracts with companies across the country or the Atlantic, Jim gained valuable experience with these potentially confrontational situations that often were complicated by language or cultural differences, experience that has been put to good use in the real estate industry.
