Baton Rouge Realtor Darren James Named to Wall Street Journal Top 250 Teams in U.S

BATON ROUGE, La. - July 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Ranking No. 51 nationally for closed team transactions, James and his team moved up 15 spots on the annual list from No. 66 the previous year.

Darren James is the broker and owner of Darren James Real Estate Experts, located in Denham Springs, La., a suburb of Baton Rouge. His team achieved a personal best of 456 closed transactions for 2014. The team specializes in residential real estate in several parishes within the Baton Rouge area.

This ranking of the nation’s top real estate professionals has been around for 10 years and this marks the third consecutive year Darren James has made the list. He is one of only three Louisiana real estate teams to make the top 250 transactions list and the only team that focuses on Baton Rouge real estate.

“This honor would not have been possible again without the personal commitment of our clients to become repeat customers and to refer us to their friends and family,” said Darren James. “And my name may be at the head of the team, but this was truly a group effort to help nearly 500 area families with their real estate needs.”

Being in the highest 20 percent of this Top 250 list was even more of an accomplishment when considering James was competing with agents in much larger markets like Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas.

The exclusive list was officially published June 26, 2015, and can be found at http://www.realtrends.com/rankings/rt1000.  It is comprised of four separate categories honoring the top 250 residential agents and agent teams for excellence in:

* Individual Sales Professionals—Sales volume
* Individual Sales Professionals—Transaction sides (in each real estate   transaction, there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: a buyer’s and a seller’s.)
* Team Professionals—Sales volume
* Team Professionals—Transaction sides

A Baton Rouge native, James attended Louisiana State University. He had a nearly 10-year career in law enforcement with the Department of Public Safety before earning his real estate license in 2001.
