In this inspiring episode of The Mike Litton Experience, we sit down with James Brown — a former graphic designer turned real estate problem solver — who’s changing the game with RealHomeSolutions.org. Based in Colorado, James helps families, self-employed individuals, and recovering borrowers break back into homeownership through innovative lease-to-own and hybrid investing models.

James shares his journey from growing up in rugged Alaska and working on commercial fishing boats, to building a career in design, and ultimately finding purpose in real estate. With a heart for service and a mind for strategy, James opens up about how he helps people who were told “no” by traditional banks finally say “yes” to owning a home.
