About James

Hello, my name is James Garofalo.

Since moving to Columbia, South Carolina in 2009, I’ve come to truly appreciate everything this vibrant city and the beautiful Lake Murray area have to offer.

Originally from Upstate New York, I earned a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from the State University of New York at Cortland, along with an associate's degree in psychology. My professional background has always centered around sales and customer service—fields that have sharpened my ability to listen, understand, and deliver real results.

Buying or selling a home can be one of the most exciting—but also stressful—experiences in life, especially when you're relocating to a new area. It’s not just about finding a house; it’s about finding the right community, schools, lifestyle, and the perfect place to call home. That’s where the right real estate agent makes all the difference.

I see every client relationship as an opportunity—to simplify a complex process, to exceed expectations, and most importantly, to earn your trust. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your transition as smooth and seamless as possible, while always keeping your best interests front and center.

If you’re looking for a committed, knowledgeable, and approachable agent to guide you through your next move, I’d be honored to help. I recommend reading any of my reviews that are available online. Let’s work together to write your next chapter.

I look forward to showing you how I—and Lake Homes Realty—can make a difference in your real estate experience.

Best regards,
James Garofalo

James was far superior to our previous agent. Had made the process easy and was very helpful. He was always responsive and kept us up to date on the process of selling our house the entire way. I would 10 out of 10 times use him again. His professionalism and dedication to his work are in my opinion, what sets him apart from those he works with in the industry!

James is on top of it! Very responsive and ready to show at a moments notice. Got contracts sent to me for signing before I was home from the showing. He was communicative throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

James Garofalo was such a pleasure to work with. From the beginning of my house hunt until closing day, James walked me through every step. All around great realtor. He's now known to my friends and family as "my James".
