About James

James Matthews brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and dedication to his role as a Deep Creek Lake real estate agent with Taylor-Made Real Estate, proudly serving Garrett County, Maryland and the surrounding tri-state region. As a trusted McHenry, Oakland, and Swanton MD real estate agent, James also serves buyers and sellers across the West Virginia mountains, including Terra Alta, Alpine Lake, Kingwood, Bruceton Mills, Davis, and Thomas WV, as well as Addison and Confluence, PA. Whether you're searching for a lakefront home on Deep Creek Lake, a mountain vacation property near Wisp Resort, a peaceful second home in the Alpine Lake or Blackwater Falls area, or land and acreage for your next getaway, James has the local knowledge to guide you.

Originally from the scenic Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, James developed a lifelong love for the outdoors — canoeing, camping, and enjoying time on the lake — a passion that now fuels his expertise in four-season mountain and lake living. After a distinguished 35-year career with the Department of the Army, James retired as a Senior Program Manager known for delivering results in strategic planning, business operations, and resilience programs that supported military personnel and their families. His transition from national service to real estate reflects his passion for helping others and his commitment to excellence, and he's especially glad to help fellow military families relocating to the area navigate the process with confidence.

In 2022, James and his family made Garrett County their home, drawn by its natural beauty and vibrant four-season lifestyle. He and his wife, Leah — whom he met while working in Japan — have two college-aged children and enjoy skiing, hiking, golfing, and relaxing around their fire pit. With deep experience managing complex operations and a warm, client-focused approach, James is excited to help buyers and sellers of waterfront homes, vacation properties, ski retreats, and recreational land navigate their real estate journey with confidence and care.
