About

In 2007, my wife, Heidi, and I decided to make North Carolina our home. Originally from Staten Island, NY, I know firsthand what it’s like to relocate to the coasts of the Cape Fear region. The Cape Fear region includes Wilmington, Southport, Hampstead, Leland, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Oak Island and Rocky Point. It’s only an hour from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Before joining the world of real estate, I enjoyed working in a few other fields. I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, and I still enjoy cooking and entertaining. For 10 years, I worked at the Hotel Thayer at West Point, followed by 15 years with Paychex, Inc.

Soon after moving, I found myself sharing my love for Southeastern NC with others, and in 2013 I took my passion to the next level by becoming a REALTOR®/Broker. I find many clients are in situations like my own and I enjoy helping them navigate the process. My wife and I raised our children in the Hudson Valley area of New York and relocated to North Carolina when they were nearing adulthood. We have always been family oriented, and we can often be found surrounded by family and friends at a boisterous dinner table. Our daughter, Lauren received her Bachelor’s and Master’s through the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). She has blessed us with two grandchildren, Ella Jean in 2015 and Jett Hudson in 2020. Our son, Christopher, graduated with a degree in Business and IT from NC State University in Raleigh and is now living in Charlotte with his beautiful wife, Hali.

As the team lead for Home James Realty I can assure you we have years of experience, local market knowledge, and have earned the trust of our past clients. Whether you’re thinking of buying or selling, just say Home James, and then trust our drive.
