Jim Saunders
A graduate of Muhlenberg College and Lehigh University , Jim taught high school English in the late 60’s and early 70’s. It was during this time that he joined the original WAEB Good Guys and became a radio announcer and disc jockey. Jim went on to become successful in new home sales, often trading on his popularity as a radio personality to win the confidence and heart of his customers. In 1976 he broke the world’s record for most homes sold in one year-176, an amazing feat by itself, topped only by selling the most homes in 3 years-508.
In 1986, Jim formed his own construction company and became a developer of 5 important tracts in the Lehigh Valley . Jim specialized in building homes on large home sites that people could afford. Most of his communities extend beyond the suburbs, where 3 and 4 bedroom homes set on 1 or more acres, usually served by wells, and private sewer packaging systems. His corporation, Maiden Creek Associates, built Maiden Creek Estates, Kings Gate East, Kings Gate West, Jordan Crossing and The Pines at West Penn.
In 2004, Jim sold his construction business to enjoy his family. He is married to his beautiful wife, Judy, of nearly 44 years. They have two children Jill and Jimmy. Both were homeschooled. Jill pursued a professional career in tennis and was on the women’s tour for 2 years. She is a Broker and Realtor, serving Berks, Schuylkill and many surrounding counties. Jimmy completed his residency and currently manages many of the Urgent Cares operated by Tower Health in Berks County.
