About James Mayo

As both a licensed Realtor® and an Army veteran (former Infantry officer), I know firsthand how important it is to find the right place to call home. Having moved more than 30 times in my life, I deeply understand the challenges, stresses, and opportunities that come with relocating—and I bring that empathy and experience to every person I serve.

My focus is on Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the surrounding luxury markets, where I specialize in helping clients relocate, invest, and settle into homes that match their lifestyle. Whether you’re an out-of-state buyer looking for a seamless white glove experience or a seller seeking maximum impact for your listing, I provide a service that is both personal and strategic.

Before real estate, I served as an Army officer, a sportscaster, an executive headhunter, entrepreneur and I competed internationally as a professional athlete. Those experiences instilled discipline, integrity, and the ability to perform under pressure—all qualities I now bring to guiding clients through one of the biggest financial and personal decisions of their lives.

I believe in a white-glove, relationship-first approach: listening carefully, anticipating needs, and negotiating with confidence on behalf of my clients. Backed by Retsy, I combine boutique service with the reach and resources of one of the Valley’s most respected brokerages.

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll often find me training for triathlons, flipping my own homes or spending time with my two young daughters. For me, real estate isn’t just about transactions—it’s about people, lifestyle, and trust. That’s the foundation I bring to every client relationship.
