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.

Before entering the world of real estate, I had experience in several 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. In 2013, I took my passion to the next level by becoming a Broker/REALTOR®/ABR. I find many clients are in situations similar to my own, and I enjoy helping them navigate the process. In 2017, my wife joined me full-time, adding her business, administrative, and marketing experience to my growing real estate success. We now have a team of exceptional agents and administrative professionals, enabling me to provide my clients with the attention they deserve.

Heidi and I raised our children in the Hudson Valley area of New York and relocated to North Carolina when they were nearing adulthood. Our daughter, Lauren, received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). She and her wife, Sarah, live in Wilmington. Our son, Christopher, graduated with a degree in Business and IT from NC State University in Raleigh. He lives in Charlotte with his wife, Hali. One of our greatest joys is spoiling our three grandchildren, Ella, Jett, and Dakota.  

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