In Episode 269, Tracy Hayes welcomes Cindy James, a standout Top Jacksonville Real Estate Agent, broker associate at Align Right Realty Horizons, seasoned real estate investor, and co-owner of a local construction company in Northeast Florida.
Cindy James is not just selling homes—she’s transforming lives by combining decades of corporate leadership, process improvement, and renovation expertise to give buyers and sellers something rare: confidence and clarity in every step of the real estate journey.
🧠 From Corporate Boardrooms to Real Estate Boardwalks

Her ability to simplify complex transactions and bring order to chaos is rooted in her consulting background—making her a top choice for buyers, sellers, and investors alike in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, and beyond.
“I’m always asking—how can we make this better? In construction, in real estate, in communication… there’s always something we can improve if we take the time to reflect.”
🏠 Renovation Meets Representation
What sets Cindy apart? She owns a construction and remodeling business, giving her clients a clear edge when it comes to evaluating homes, repairs, and renovation opportunities. She doesn’t just see houses—she sees potential, and helps clients maximize it.
“I fell in love with the renovation process. Now I help clients see the possibilities that others miss.”
This synergy between renovation and real estate makes Cindy one of the most well-rounded agents in the Northeast Florida market.
💬 Real Talk, Real Results
At the heart of Cindy’s success is her commitment to face-to-face, authentic relationships. She believes real estate is personal—and her clients agree. Many have invited her to weddings, dinners, and celebrations long after the closing table.
“At the end of the day, I’m here to solve problems—not sell homes. And when you’re truly authentic, that connection lasts well beyond the transaction.”
🧩 Strategy, Structure, and Service
Cindy combines heart with hustle. Her process-driven mindset ensures nothing is left to chance, and her clients benefit from clear expectations, strategic planning, and constant communication. Whether it’s through a detailed renovation plan, a buyer consultation, or vendor coordination, she leads with clarity and purpose.
