Jimmy Rade

Jimmy Rade is Central Illinois' Rural Real Estate Agent and can be reached at 217-310-2088 . He was born and raised on a small farm in Mt. Zion, Illinois, where he developed a deep appreciation for faith, hard work, and the outdoors. Those early experiences shaped the values he still carries today—honesty, integrity, and a genuine desire to help others.

After high school, Jimmy proudly served 20 years in the Army National Guard, including a deployment to Afghanistan, and retired as a Company First Sergeant. His military career strengthened his leadership, discipline, and commitment to doing things the right way—qualities his clients benefit from every day.

Jimmy earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with a concentration in Fish and Wildlife Management. His background gives him a unique edge in real estate, especially when it comes to understanding land, wildlife habitat, and rural properties. At the same time, Jimmy is just as passionate about helping families find the right home—whether that’s in town, in the country, or somewhere in between.

Today, Jimmy is proud to serve clients through Mossy Oak Properties, where his love for land and real estate come together. He understands that buying or selling property is a big decision, and he works hard to make the process smooth, straightforward, and stress-free.

Jimmy is a proud husband and father, still living in Central Illinois. He is an active member of Passion Community Church, a board memeber of the Mt. Zion Chamber of Commerce and trustee for the Macon County Conservation District.

When he’s not working with clients, you’ll likely find Jimmy outdoors—fishing, managing land for wildlife, or staying on top of the latest real estate trends (especially when it’s not deer season).

Known for his attention to detail, strong work ethic, and honest approach, Jimmy has earned the trust of clients from all walks of life. He believes in going the extra mile—not because he has to, but because it’s the right thing to do. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or looking for land, Jimmy is someone you can count on to listen, guide, and help you reach your goals.
