An accomplished realtor, Jimmy Cunningham is also a community-minded philanthropist.  

“I love the ability to make a difference in this town,” said Cunningham, who calls Wilton Manors home. “I’ve been really lucky in real estate to have done well and I pride myself on trying to give back.”

Cunningham works for RE/MAX and, in 2018, was inducted into the company’s hall of fame. In 2022, Cunningham received the Legacy Award from the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce. 

He makes it a point to tell visitors and prospective homebuyers that Wilton Manors is so much more than just bars and shops.  

“We have two local gay-owned and operated theater companies, we have inclusion services for Latinos, one of the largest Pride centers in the country and the list goes on and on,” said Cunningham, who is on the board of directors at Our Fund.  

Born in Iowa, Cunningham, 60, grew up in New Jersey and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was an active member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Cunningham arrived in South Florida in 2000 and operated a catering and events staffing business before getting his real estate license.
