Jaime Pelayo
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
West Hollywood - CA

James Pelayo brings over a decade of experience in negotiating high-value real estate transactions within the Los Angeles market. A Los Angeles native, he holds a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and a Master of Fine Arts from UCLA. His negotiation prowess, developed during seven years as a senior sales executive at a Wall Street firm, plays a crucial role in his success. James emphasizes a collaborative approach, stating, "I focus on fostering mutual benefits in negotiations, which encourages clients to work together towards a favorable outcome."

His meticulous attention to detail sets him apart in a competitive market. "In today’s environment, precision is essential at every stage of the process," he explains. For instance, when marketing a property, he meticulously documents every inquiry, assesses interest levels, and maintains a comprehensive list of potential buyers. This proactive strategy ensures that if an offer falls through, he can swiftly engage backup options or generate new offers from interested parties—an approach not commonly adopted by many agents.

Whether facilitating a multi-million dollar assemblage for a prominent developer or assisting a newlywed couple in purchasing their first home, James is unwavering in his commitment to his clients. "I find genuine satisfaction in guiding clients through the buying or selling process, as it significantly impacts their lives," he notes. "It influences their finances, career paths, social circles, and even their children's education. This understanding motivates me to advocate fiercely on their behalf."

Residing on Laurel Canyon Boulevard in the Hollywood Hills—where he also grew up—James maintains strong ties to his community, with his parents still living in the Valley. In his leisure time, he enjoys exploring life with his daughter. Beyond fatherhood, he is a culinary enthusiast, automotive aficionado, nature lover, avid mountain biker, and an optimistic individual.
