About James

Born and raised in Birmingham, Michigan, I am a proud graduate of Denison University and the first to graduate Case Western University with a combined JD/MBA degree. After 8 years practicing law, I realized two life long goals by creating my own landscape design/installation business and becoming a Professional Ski Instructor. I love helping others, especially in one-on-one relationships. Whether creating your vision of a perfect yard, coaching you to break through personal barriers, or guiding you to your dream home, I know successful outcomes start with carefully listening to YOUR goals and then working tirelessly to meet and exceed those expectations! My combination of listening skills, expertise, and genuine passion for helping others has led to hundreds of successful outcomes along with many life-long relationships. Let me be your real estate coach to make your house hunting journey fun, easy and stress free! I love Sarasota's fantastic combination of climate, arts, lifestyle and exceptional natural beauty. Let me share that passion with you! Whether you're a first-time home buyer, a seller looking to downsize, or looking for a vacation getaway in paradise, working with a dedicated real estate professional can make all the difference. When it's time to move, you need someone who markets your home, knows how to find the right buyer, negotiate on your behalf, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I take care of everything you need, from start to close. As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge on local communities, current market conditions, and the home buying and selling process. I strive to provide exceptional service every step of the way, so I can provide you with a real estate experience that exceeds your expectations. I strive to deliver unmatched customer service, and my genuine desire to see your property goals come true makes me the go-to resource for all your real estate needs.
