Samantha Jay Richards
Samantha Jay Richards (Sam Jay for short), has called Huntsville home for most of her life. She received a Bachelor of Science from Harding University where she spent all four years on soccer scholarship playing for the Bisons. Sam is a marketing expert, design/decor aficionado, photographer/videographer enthusiast, soccer and guitar player, former Disney World Cast Member, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend! All of these life experiences and fields of expertise lend to Sam’s ability to work and communicate with all types of people from all walks of life and navigate the world of real estate with a creative touch.
Marketing homes effectively is her passion and helping buyers realize their real estate dreams is her goal. She comes from a family involved in all facets of real estate; from appraisal work to mortgage lending, to having personal experience flipping houses with her father for many years, she’s learned a lot from her grandparents and parents about the world of real estate. This gives Sam an edge on having a very well-rounded understanding of all things real estate which in turn hugely benefits her clients. She hangs her license at Legend Realty-Huntsville, AL where she has been since first getting licensed over 3 years ago. Sam, alongside James, is ready to help you buy/sell today and will treat you with professionalism and friendliness and make the process fun along the way.
James Jay
James Jay is a Texas native and has called Huntsville home for many many years now. He has a passion for soccer, creating music, art, and gardening. He is a family man—husband, son, brother, and friend to all. He 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 a part of the prototype creation.
He met his wife 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 approximately 10 years. He has many successful years of experience in sales and knows very well how to negotiate in order to delicately maintain successful transactions which is a huge asset to SJRRE’s clients. James has been a licensed agent with Legend Realty-Huntsville for 8 years and has had his broker’s license for the last 4, making him an Associate Broker at Legend Realty. James, alongside Sam, is ready to help you buy/sell today and will treat you with professionalism and friendliness and make the process fun along the way.
