Get to Know Me
James Brooke grew up on Long Island: home of amazing pizza, incredible bagels, the best delis and intense sport rivalries! James' experiences are more diverse than pizza toppings though and he brings his distinct knowledge to the plate at the Erich Cabe Team.
After obtaining an associates degree in liberal arts, James served in the Army National Guard for 8 years. He was called to serve on 9/11 and worked at Ground Zero providing heroic assistance to our country in that time of need. He was activated 3 times that year and, each time, he helped to protect the weak, save lives and restore neighborhoods.
All the while serving his nation and community, James was concurrently earning his bachelor's degree in History and pursuing a career in the mortgage industry. Starting in data entry, he quickly worked his way up to vice president of the mortgage company. Highly-motivated, self-determined and resolute James is no stranger to multitasking and mastering challenges. This proved especially useful when the mortgage brokerage industry fell apart and James had to quickly pivot. He soon obtained a real estate license and started renting homes in Brooklyn.
Since this time, in 2008, James has been a licensed Realtor. He has extended his proficiency beyond New York, working in Texas and, ultimately, Washington DC.
He has over fifteen (15) years of progressive administrative and management experience, with varying responsibilities along with almost two years as a business analyst. At this point in his real estate career, he enjoys using his operations and business experience to help the Erich Cabe Team clients negotiate the complex process of selling and buying homes. James specializes in assisting throughout the real estate process, providing excellent customer service, guiding understanding through complex sales processes and ensuring adhering to strict mortgage standards. He is a diverse and steadfast professional who knows that with the right team, any project will realize success. That team for him today is the Erich Cabe Team.
When he is not working, above all else, James loves spending time with his young daughter. Somehow he manages to squeeze extra hours into the day in order to spend time with her. James is also an avid sports enthusiast. He, himself, had to stop playing ball a few years ago because of massive shoulder surgery caused by years of abuse. That doesn't stop his appreciation for others playing the games. Doting on his daughter, he shares his love for all New York teams, namely the Giants, Nicks and Rangers! But, since he seems to be a glutton for punishment, he remains a steadfast Mets fan.
