James has over 20 years of experience in the commercial real estate field representing a wide array of businesses from medical, legal, and financial institutions to advertising firms and more. James started working in commercial real estate as an intern while a sophomore at the University of Arizona. Prior to his Junior year he transferred to Arizona State University, and worked his way through college as a commercial real estate broker for the largest tenant representation firm in the state at that time.  Within a year of graduation in 1993 James had started his own firm and was already representing multiple businesses with their commercial real estate needs across the country.  James counted amongst his national clients Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Blood Systems and it’s subsidiary United Blood Services, the nation’s second largest blood bank. Since that time James has gone on to represent hundreds of commercial real estate tenants from the largest Fortune 500 companies to local based entrepreneurs.  In 2002-2003 James worked as director of leasing for the second largest office space project in the state of Arizona.  The City Square project is comprised of 1 million square feet of office space in three high rise office buildings, it includes a 156 room hotel, a 35,000 square foot health club. The site had 5 restaurants, conference facilities and more elevators than the Pentagon.  As a result James got the experience and expertise to view negotiations not only from the Tenants' point of view, but also from the landlord's perspective. He completed 65 office leases during his tenure and was instrumental in preparing the building for sale. While James enjoys working with commercial real estate tenants more than being the landlord representative, he credits this time and his experience with making him a better tenants' broker as he has had a chance to better understand how the landlord thinks and acts. For the last 4 years it was James’s  biggest goal to grow Phoenix Realty Advisors beyond the one man commercial real estate consulting firm. The current goal of Phoenix Realty Advisors is to employ 15 agents who all have the same focus on tenants’ representation.
