San Pedro REALTOR®

Hi, I'm James Daniel III.
Born Here. Bought Here.
Now Helping Others Do the Same.

I'm a South Bay REALTOR® who became an agent because of my own experience as a buyer and investor. I bought my first home in San Pedro in 2018, turned it into a rental, and built a career around helping others navigate the same process — smarter and with less stress.

My Story

From First-Time Buyer to Your REALTOR®

I was born and raised in Southern California and now call San Pedro home. Before real estate, I worked in sales and marketing — at Anheuser-Busch and multiple startups in LA — and earned my degree from the University of La Verne, where I played basketball.

"I had the goal of owning a home in 2016. I saved for two years, worked on my credit — and bought my first place in San Pedro in November 2018."

But going through that process, I realized how much I didn't know. Things I wish someone had told me sooner — about financing, neighborhoods, timing, and negotiation. After closing, I turned that home into a rental property and started investing. That experience — as a buyer, an investor, and someone who had to figure it out the hard way — is what eventually led me to become a REALTOR®.

I became an agent because I wanted to be the person I wish I'd had: someone who gives it to you straight, helps you get prepared, and stays in your corner from the first conversation to the day you get your keys.

What I Do For You

How I Help You Buy, Sell, or Invest

My approach is the same whether you're buying your first home or selling an investment property.

01
Clarify Your Goals Before Anything Else

We start with what you actually want — your timeline, your budget, your priorities. Then I help you map a clear path to get there. No wasted time chasing the wrong thing.

02
Give You an Honest Market Read

I don't tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what the market is doing, what things are worth, and what strategy will actually work — so you can make a confident, informed decision.

03
Guide You From Offer to Close — and Beyond

I'm with you through every step: negotiations, inspections, paperwork, and close. And after you get your keys, I'm still there if questions come up. That's how I do business.

How I Work

What You Can Always Expect From Me

Straight talk, no fluff — I'll tell you what your home is worth, what the market is doing, and what I'd do if I were in your position
Investor perspective — I think about your financial picture, not just the transaction. I look for the deal that works for your goals, not just the one that closes
Deep local knowledge — I live in the South Bay. I know these neighborhoods from the inside — the ones worth the premium and the ones that get overlooked
Consistency from start to finish — You'll hear from me regularly. I don't disappear after the offer. I stay engaged until you close and beyond
