My journey into real estate was almost predestined. Growing up next to a real estate office in Montgomery, New York, my mother worked as an agent. I spent countless hours at her desk, absorbing the rhythms of the industry from a young age. That foundation of experience, combined with the discipline instilled in me by my dad, a U.S. Army veteran, helped shape my rock solid work ethic and meticulous attention to detail.
Before ever becoming an agent, I held various jobs working with contractors. The knowledge and experience I gained was priceless. My first sales position was with Healey Brothers in Beacon, New York. That position, as well as studying the likes of authors Chris Voss and Dale Carnegie, sharpened my negotiation skills. Having lived and worked in diverse locales such as New York City, Portland, and Miami, I developed an acute ability to connect with people from all walks of life. As great as those experiences were, I always knew that the Hudson River Valley was the ideal place to settle down.
Being your traditional “full time” agent isn't enough for me. I strive to transcend that role. I am a devoted student of real estate and my market, continuously expanding my knowledge and techniques to serve my clients on an elite level. Through exclusive one on ones, my YouTube channel, and social media platforms, I look to educate and empower buyers, sellers, and even fellow agents.
I am committed to guiding my clients through every stage of their real estate journey. My proactive approach is intended to ensure that they receive unparalleled support and advocacy, not just during transactions but beyond. My goal is to provide an exceptional real estate experience—one that is so thorough and personalized, it sets a new standard in the industry.
Welcome to a real estate experience like no other, I'm sure you'll feel right at home.

When I found myself in a difficult situation needing to find a new apartment quickly for myself and my son, James was a godsend. Not only did he work tirelessly to find us a safe and comfortable place within our tight deadline, but their compassion and understanding throughout the process truly made a difference. James went above and beyond, ensuring that we were settled and even came back to check in on us a month later. I am profoundly grateful for James dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing challenging circumstances in need of a new home.
My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with James when shopping for our first home. A truly wonderful experience! He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Keeping our priorities in mind, he provided us options that not only meet our needs but our budget. We were first time homebuyers, and were shocked at how smooth and enjoyable the process was. We’re over the moon with our new place and highly recommend James as a dedicated and insightful real estate professional!
