History
Established in 1958.
James S. Black & Company, was founded in 1958 by the late James S. Black, Sr., as a commercial and industrial real estate brokerage firm and a developer of commercial and industrial properties. The Company later expanded into residential brokerage, land development, property management, and other real estate disciplines, to become a broad-based, full-line real estate organization and has since stood out as the premier real estate company in the Inland Northwest. In 1995, the Company joined with Tomlinson Real Estate to form a Group of Companies known as Tomlinson Black, one of the nation's 100 largest real estate companies. In the fall of 2007, as the Tomlinson side of the company opted to align with several national brands whose focus was primarily residential real estate, we, the Black side of the company, took on an exciting national affiliation, NAI Global, Commercial Real Estate Services Worldwide, bringing us to the present as the NAI Black Group of Companies.
