What first motivated James to become a Realtor was the desire to help people realize their dream of homeownership. This desire continues to inspire and excite him today. With a strong background in corporate management, leadership, and strategic planning, James brings a solid foundation of 30-plus years of sales support and relationship management. Anticipating his clients’ needs, carefully guiding them through sometimes complicated negotiations, and always keeping their best interests in mind is both his goal and number one focus in order to deliver a successful outcome. Whether representing a Seller, first-time Buyer, or savvy ‘flipper’, being a part of the team at Bennion Deville Homes allows James the opportunity to offer a greater breadth of knowledge and resources, as well as a wealth of experience. An avid traveler, James has had the opportunity to explore the world extensively and brings his penchant for meeting new people and experiencing different cultures to his Real Estate practice. As a native Californian (raised in San Francisco) James fell in love with the Palm Springs area nearly 3 decades ago. The natural beauty of the Coachella Valley, with its endless miles of hiking trails, active lifestyle, vibrant LGBTQ+ community, Mid-Century modern architecture, as well as the fantastic restaurants, and International Film Festival, made his decision to call the desert ‘home’ a no-brainer. The majority of James’s business is based on referrals from satisfied clients. James believes that building solid relationships of trust and commitment creates these satisfied clients. And, there is no greater feeling of a job well done than when clients return for their next real estate transaction or refer their family and friends. James looks forward to the opportunity to earn your trust and to assist you in achieving your real estate goals, whatever they may be.
