James Daly - Selling Partner

James has been buying and selling houses with Paul Rushforth Real Estate since 2014. His 6 years in property management prior to joining us showed him his true calling: real estate. “My favourite part of property management was working to turn over the units and get them ready for new people – so it was a natural transition.”

As an investment property owner, James has a strong knowledge base that he shares with his investor clients. “I’ve helped people buy single condos to multiplexes. It’s always challenging, but fun and rewarding.”

That’s how James describes being a real estate agent in Ottawa: challenging, fun, and rewarding. “When you love what you do, get to meet new people, and have a great team, most of the time it doesn’t feel like work. It feels like you’re helping out your friends. And the feeling of helping someone buy or sell a house…there’s nothing quite like it.”

James has so much fun doing his job that he sold 64 homes in 2018 – so you know he’s good at what he does. “By working here, I’ve learned that I’m where I’m meant to be. I’m not only getting to work with and help people achieve a significant milestone, but I’ve got a team that supports me and lets me focus fully on the people depending on me.”

James prides himself on being a relatable person. We know for a fact that he gets along with everyone! “I like people, and it shows when I meet with someone new. I’m genuinely excited to ask them questions, get to know what they want, and work with them to reach their goals.” It’s his ability to listen and his knowledge of people and the market that makes James such a great realtor.

Outside the Office

James has lived his entire life in Ottawa – minus a few months in Europe before we knew him! In his spare time, you can find him working out, skiing, running, skating – really anything that will keep him active and on the move.

He also spends time with his friends, enjoys going to local restaurants, and travelling. Like many members of the team, James also donates to a large number of local charities.

Our Realtor, James Daly, was great. It was clear the whole time that he was working for us. He was very accessible and clearly worked hard to sell our home. We had over 50 showings in 2 months so the whole process was stressful. James helped us out a lot. The office staff was also fantastic. They too worked hard to help us sell our home. Our home was unique and required the right buyer. We knew we had to be patient. It became clear to us that people other than our Realtor thought that the only answer as to why our home wasn’t selling was price. We decided not to lower by that much and sold a week later and a price we felt better about.

I honestly can say I don’t know what we would have done without James as our agent. He was there every step of the way to help secure a place to call home for my family. im just so grateful that we chose you guys to give us the peace of mind we needed. Life can be very stressful at times and you guys helped take that stress away. So our family sends a big hug out to everyone at Paul Rushforth Real Estate…….keep doing awesome work!!!

Randy, Ottawa

We would highly recommend Paul Rushforth Real Estate, in fact, we already have. Our agent James has been fantastic and even though we ask a million questions and send a lot of email, he always responds in a very respectful manner. The photographer that came to take the photos was very pleasant to work with and the photos she took show our house in it’s best light. We are very happy to have chosen your company to help us find a new home and sell our old one. Thank you.

James Daly from Paul Rushforth Real Estate truly has your best interest in mind. His knowledge and expertise has made the process of buying/selling stress free. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
