Real Estate Agent & Investor

James Vang is more than just a Realtor® — he’s an investor, strategist, and trusted partner dedicated to helping clients create wealth and stability through real estate. Licensed with LPT Realty and a member of the Saint Paul Area Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors, James brings a rare combination of personal investing experience and people-first values to every transaction.

James began his career in real estate just a year ago, but his path quickly shifted from retail real estate to investing. After purchasing his first duplex and house-hacking to build equity and cash flow, James gained hands-on experience analyzing deals, managing tenants, and navigating the realities of property ownership. That real-world perspective now fuels the way he advises clients — especially first-time buyers, house-hackers, and investors who want to turn real estate into a long-term wealth-building tool.

Focused primarily on the Twin Cities East Metro, including Saint Paul, Maplewood, White Bear Lake, and Cottage Grove, James knows these neighborhoods inside and out. Whether it’s a quiet family-friendly street or an up-and-coming investment area, he guides clients with honesty, insight, and a sharp eye for opportunity. With a background in social work, James brings strong communication, negotiation skills, and a people-first mindset to every deal, helping clients succeed even in competitive, multiple-offer markets.

For James, real estate is more than buying and selling — it’s about building legacies. “It only takes one decision to change your life,” he says. He believes real estate often is that decision, opening doors to new opportunities and generational wealth.
