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 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 Broker/REALTOR®. I find many clients are in situations similar to my own and I enjoy helping them navigate through 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 great people taking care of the business end of things, allowing me to give my clients 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 through the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). She blessed us with our grandchildren, Ella Jean, born in 2015, and Jett Hudson, born in 2020. Our son, Christopher, graduated with a degree in Business and IT from NC State University in Raleigh and is living in Charlotte with our daughter-in-law, Hali.

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.
