Meet James McWhorter of The BlueWave Realty Group in Beverly Hills, South Pasadena and Long Beach

Today we’d like to introduce you to James McWhorter.

Prior to working in real estate, James worked for more than two decades in Mergers, Acquisitions and Banking where he managed budgeting, planning and forecasting for operating budgets more than $125MM per annum. Throughout his career, he has also participated in the due diligence reviews of over 1,100 companies for acquisition or merger.

After retiring from Corporate Finance, James founded a Real Estate Brokerage focused mostly on New Construction. As the market downturn proceeded in 2007 the firm diversified into Bank Owned homes using previous banking relationships. Currently, The BlueWave Realty Group provides Sales, Marketing and Development support to a large diversified client base.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Over the period of years, I have managed through the Savings and Loan collapse and Wall Street correction during the 80’s. This provided for a significant business learning experience which I leveraged through two recessions and a real estate market crash in 2007.

Please tell us about The BlueWave Realty Group.
Over the past fifteen years, we have been instrumental in the successful opening and closing of thirty-eight urban, single-family and adaptive re-use new home communities from dirt through every stage during development. In addition to our many accomplishments, we have also been successful in the liquidation of many distressed assets. We are most proud of training and employee development which have been a passion since we started the company. We are often looked to for qualified training in all areas of Real Estate, Investment Analysis and Marketing.

Early in my career, it was all about the numbers being from the finance and accounting world it was easy to dismiss the people side of the business. After several years, I realized the importance that compassion and understanding is critical in people management.
