James has represented me for the sale of my 7-unit new condo development in Bed-Stuy. Due to his advisement, we were able to achieve the highest PPSF of any similar new dev in the neighborhood. He has contributed tremendously to the success of this project and I cannot thank him enough. Since then, I have given him several other projects including a multifamily building sale in Bushwick and my newest luxury condo building in Greenpoint. I highly recommend James and I look forward to working with him for many more years to come.

I had the pleasure of working with James as my real estate broker, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that I was in the hands of a professional. James got me an amazing deal on a condo in Williamsburg Brooklyn. A year later I decided to rent this condo and James was able to find a great tenant in a matter of days. If you're looking for a real estate broker who combines expertise, dedication, and a genuine passion for helping clients find their perfect home, I highly recommend him!

What truly set James apart was his in-depth knowledge of the market. He provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process, making sure I was well-informed and confident in my decisions. His attention to detail and thoroughness in explaining every step of the process made the experience incredibly smooth.

James began his real estate career building a high-volume rental business, an experience that gave him an in-depth understanding of New York City's housing market and laid the foundation for a thriving sales business. Today, he represents clients across a wide range of residential real estate transactions, from condo and co-op resales to new development sales and investment properties, with a particular focus on educating buyers and sellers so they can make confident, informed decisions. Under his leadership, The Finelli Team has been ranked among the Top 1.5% of Real Estate Agents and Teams nationwide by RealTrends (2026), is consistently recognized among StreetEasy's top performers by sales transactions since 2023, and is regularly featured in The Real Deal for its market expertise.
That range shows in who James works with: first-time homebuyers and growing families, seasoned investors, international purchasers, developers, and luxury homeowners, each with their own goals and no two transactions ever quite the same. He currently represents more than 60 multi-family buildings exclusively across New York City, alongside hundreds of tenants and landlords navigating residential and commercial sales and leasing negotiations. An active member of the Real Estate Board of New York, he's known for his professionalism, transparency, and dedication to his clients.
