NextHome has been named the number one real estate franchise (and number one across industries) in owner satisfaction by Franchise Business Review. Prior to joining Realty World, James cofounded VREO, Inc. developer of groundbreaking enterprise-level internet applications for agents and brokers. VREO pioneered biometric signature software for paperless transactions and garnered numerous industry accolades, including the coveted Inman Innovator Award for its breakthrough technologies. Previously, James cofounded USA Virtual Tours, which he helped to grow nationally until its acquisition in 2001. James is a highly regarded national speaker and is a frequent media expert on real estate and other cross-industry franchise and technology advancements.
