James T. Jay

President/Owner

James was born and raised in Tyler, TX. James has an entrepreneurial and creative spirit. A fun fact about him is that the very first Heelys prototype shoe was made with his shoe. A friend/co-worker came to James with the idea for Heelys and James was apart of the prototype creation. He met Natalie prior to this and was trained in appraisal work under her parents—as they owned their own appraisal firm in the Dallas, TX area at the time. Afterwards, he then worked as a loan officer for Countrywide/Bank of America for approximately 10 years. He now hangs his real estate license at Legend Realty in Huntsville, AL and focuses his efforts on investment opportunities and helping run Definitive Valuations successfully. James, like Natalie, is passionate about helping children in need. He has a love for “the beautiful game” (soccer) and a love for gardening. He continues to live in Meridianville with his wife and youngest son.
