James brings a unique perspective to the Smith & Co. Realty team, entering the real estate world initially as a property investor over 15 years ago. His journey is marked by a series of entrepreneurial successes, including the sale and exit of two bootstrapped companies. His extensive experience in property investment includes new construction projects, comprehensive renovations, and transforming underperforming multi-family residential properties into profitable ventures. James’s expertise extends to managing both short and medium-term rentals, including Airbnb, as well as navigating commercial real estate spaces.

His approach, characterized by innovative strategies such as ‘house hacking’ and the BRRRR method (Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), has led to significant successes in the field. James combines this wealth of experience with a unique business acumen to provide invaluable insights and strategies to our team and clients.
