This is where I come in: Hello, my name is James Gavin, and as a multiple Award-Winning Licensed Real Estate Professional , I have quickly earned the reputation as a seasoned industry leader. Both service-centered and 100% committed, I am here to offer my valued clients a truly seamless and pleasant transaction from list to close. When it comes to the services I provide, there are absolutely no compromises involved because what I offer goes beyond your typical transaction and that of the typical realtor. I embarked upon my realty career nearly 5 years ago in the Manhasset office located in one of the most competitive markets for real estate. I quickly stood out as an up and coming agent being awarded the coveted "Rookie Of The Year" award for my efforts. Since then I have rapidly excelled in the business through hard work and dedication to my customers racking up multiple awards along the way. For my seller clients I harness my extensive marketing and negotiation expertise to consistently sell properties for top dollar within a short period of time. In fact, out of my last 5 listings I was able to negotiate an over-asking price for all my sellers, a truly remarkable feat. I attribute my success to utilizing cutting-edge marketing tools, all social media outlets, door to door advertising as well as local press. I also go a step further and offer top-tier marketing on an International scale on leading websites like www.samaki.com the #1 Chinese-language real estate search engine for New York City and Long Island, connecting non-Chinese speaking agents to Chinese speaking speaking buyers. Also, www.juwai.com China's largest international property website for Chinese buyers who are looking to purchase homes in our local area. For my buyer customers I offer my vast local marketplace familiarity and expert negotiating skills to ensure that you'll find the perfect home at the right price, every single time! Prior to becoming a Real Estate Professional, I began working for the New York City Fire Department during my early 20's, relentlessly chasing after my childhood dream and ultimately stationed in Manhattan. Throughout my tenure as a firefighter I had the priveledge to work alongside some of the most reliable, driven and brave men and women in the workforce. Ultimately, this is what shaped me into the hardworking, integrity-driven professional I am today. Moreover, my knack for helping others and seeing the job through ended up drawing me to the world of Real Estate. My current career is truly one of my passions but there is nothing more important to me than family. Currently resisding in Manhasset, I am happily married to my lovely wife and together we are the proud parents of two beautiful girls ages 7 and 9. I am also deeply active in my community and volunteer my time to various causes as much as I can . During my free time you can find me cooking for my family and friends (a skill I honed in the firehouse kitchen) or cheering on my daughter's at their local soccer, lacrosse and gymnastics competitions. Whether you are looking to purchase your dream home or to effectively sell your home for top dollar, I am here to go that extra mile for you. To me a real estate transaction always goes beyond a monetary exchange, it's an opportunity to really help someone and cultivate a long-term relationship. No matter what time it is, feel free to reach out to me directly with any of your real estate needs and let me prove to you the difference between hiring a typical realtor and a true Real Estate Proffesional like myself. I look forward to turning your real estate goals into reality.
