James Burns

Business Philosophy:
Connecting the right people to the right product is his passion. It was what motivated him for 20 years in a highly successful sales career in the medical industry, and it is that same passion that propels a thriving career as a real estate associate for one of the country's leading real estate companies. A successful listing to closing rate of 98% is indicative of the trust clients place in him.

Since 2010, he's been connecting families and individuals to their next phase. Sometimes that means helping a young family, eager to buy their first home, through the process of evaluating what they need and want and then finding it. For other clients, it's smoothing the transition from their home of 40 years to a new townhome or finding a way for a growing family to sell their current home so they can relocate into a larger one. In every instance, he believes his role is to guide, advise, and capture opportunities that bring people home.
