James “Jim” Knell is an experienced Santa Barbara, CA, real estate professional who has served as chairman of SIMA Corporation and all SIMA companies since 1984. Under the guidance of Jim Knell, the SIMA family of businesses acquires and manages properties not only in Santa Barbara, but throughout the United States.

When it comes to property acquisitions, the SIMA philosophy is to complete all transactions in the most effective and timely manner possible. Functioning as a one-stop real estate firm, SIMA employs agents who are skilled at developing a variety of acquisition strategies. That said, the SIMA team prefers to only pursue acquisitions that fit the company’s synergistic strategy. All acquisition tactics begin with identification and a thorough vetting process, followed by discussions about value optimization, which may be achieved through development, refinancing, or a variety of property management processes.

Following a successful acquisition, the organization draws on a depth of resources and a knowledgeable workforce to fulfill long-term growth and up-front profitability objectives.
