About Mel James Homes
let’s find your dream home!
Originally licensed in 1993 at the age of 19, I had an interest in real estate early in life. I became a full-time agent in 2017 and brings with a careers worth of experience to my real estate business in sales, marketing, and business. Having grown up in the diverse city of Oxnard, CA, I understand and appreciate the unique perspectives of a wide variety of lifestyles, personalities, and cultures.
Having lived in the greater Sacramento area since 1992, I love this region and now considers this my hometown. Your experience with me isn’t limited to only buying and selling homes, I work with my clients year-round sharing resources - think of me as your “real estate concierge”. Whether you need a roofer, attorney, or a date night restaurant recommendation, I love sharing my ideas and connections with you!
In my spare time, I enjoy playing softball, traveling, experiencing live theater and concerts, going to the gym, checking out new wineries and breweries, and spending time with my daughter, Erica.
What my clients say
“I just sold my third house in West Sacramento and I used a different agent every time. This sale was handled by Mel James; I’m going to have him handle my next purchase when I get to that point as well...he’s now my Sacramento realtor for all time.
Mel knows the area, he’s smart, tenacious, responsive, and represented my interests with zeal and professionalism. Once we determined my goals for the transaction, he came up with a great strategy and we were in contract within days.
I’ve worked with some agents who left me wondering if they were really representing my needs or just flipping for a quick commission...Mel is not that realtor. He was candid about the market and the properties, and I was comfortable that he helped me make the best informed decision I could make.
If he’s available, use him.”
“Mel was professional from start to finish. He was able to bring buyer’s into the process that were at the level of my pricing threshold and also performed some duties that helped but the property in selling condition. He conveyed the process to my family members as well and was able to secure a buyer in a timely fashion. The conditions of the transaction were negotiated clearly and fair and the process was communicated to me frequently. For me and my family, the process could not of been smoother.”
“I’m so glad I found Mel!! Our schedules can be trying sometimes, but he did everything he could to be available when we needed him! His communication was fantastic! Always a quick response. Super personable and fun to drive around neighborhoods with! He did a great job keeping us on track and remembering what our wants vs. needs were. I would recommend Mel to anyone looking to sell/purchase a home.”
