Your Trusted Real Estate Professional
James L. Cook, MBA began his real estate journey with a simple belief: every client deserves a strategic partner, not just an agent. Long before becoming the Texas Broker/Owner of Metro Realty Advisors, James was the person friends, family, and colleagues turned to when they needed clarity through a complicated decision, direction in a changing market, or confidence before taking a major step. Real estate became the natural path for someone whose instincts were rooted in leadership, service, and results.
When Metro Realty Advisors was founded, James took the helm of the Texas division with a mission to elevate the experience for buyers, sellers, and investors across the state. He built the brokerage on three pillars: market intelligence, strategic planning, and unwavering professionalism. These principles guide his work today and define how he supports clients throughout Houston, Austin, and surrounding markets.
James approaches real estate like a strategist—every property, every client, and every market cycle is different. His role is to provide direction, reduce uncertainty, and deliver a plan that leads to the best outcome possible. Whether a family is purchasing their first home, an investor is analyzing a new opportunity, or a seller is preparing to position their property for maximum value, James ensures the process feels intentional, informed, and empowering.
He is equally committed to helping clients who need to lease their home or find a rental. James understands that life transitions often happen in steps, and he guides clients through each one with patience and expertise.
As the Texas Broker/Owner, James leads with integrity, clarity, and the mindset that excellence is earned through consistency. His team reflects these values—professionals who are trained, supported, and aligned with Metro Realty Advisors’ mission of delivering a smooth, strategic, and rewarding real estate experience for every client.
For James, real estate is more than a career. It’s a calling grounded in service, leadership, and helping people move confidently into the next chapter of their lives.
