James Guimaraes

Born in Manhattan, raised in Westchester, educated in the Bronx and a Brooklyn homeowner since 2017… it's safe to say James knows New York City from a number of different perspectives.

Growing up, James always had a job in the hospitality industry or at a summer camp, his early workdays instilling in him a keen understanding of how to take care of his clients and run an effective team. His real estate career started at a boutique firm in 2014 where he quickly became known as an energetic team member, embracing of long hours and dedicated to every client he encountered. A year later he was promoted to the helm of their Williamsburg office, where he ran a team of 30+ agents, all committed to providing excellent service for their sellers, buyers, landlords and renters. In 2019, James chose to leave his management role to focus on his individual clients.

A member of Corcoran’s Multi-Million Dollar Club and recently recognized on the 2023 America’s Best Real Estate Professionals list by RealTrends + Tom Ferry, James’ approach to every client is bespoke. It starts with listening carefully to their needs then coming up with creative solutions to get them the best results. His key ingredients are individualized attention, tenacity and creativity.

James is an active member of the Montauk Club, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum. He’s a member of the 90’s rock band, CopyCopy and runs several endurance races each year including the New York City Marathon. If he’s not showing property, he’s either running, fishing, or teaching his kids how to play the drums.
