James Harris is a British-born luxury real estate broker who built his career in Los
Angeles after moving from the UK — knowing no one.
Known to millions as a longtime star of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles,
James blends British polish with American drive and a no-nonsense approach to
business. Over the course of his career, he has closed more than $6 billion in high-
end real estate transactions, represented landmark and record-setting properties, and
advised a global roster of high-net-worth clients including celebrities, executives, and
Fortune 500 leaders.
But beyond the deals, the numbers, and the visibility — what separates James is
his mindset, discipline, and consistency in any market.
In this conversation, we go deep into what it actually takes to win long-term — in
business, in life, and under pressure.
