James Ray
James Ray is a licensed Texas real estate agent with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Winans, serving buyers and sellers throughout Arlington, Grand Prairie, and the greater Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Licensed in 2025 and holding the Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) certification, James brings a lifetime of leadership, integrity, and genuine care to every client relationship.
Before entering real estate, James built a distinguished 47-year career in the heavy equipment industry, serving Caterpillar and Vermeer dealers from 1978 to 2024. Along the way, he earned a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and a steadfast commitment to serving others — the same qualities clients can count on today as they navigate the home buying and selling process.
James's dedication to service runs deep. For 30 years, he served as a Reserve Police Officer with the Grand Prairie Police Department, earning the prestigious TCOLE Master Peace Officer Certification. Since 2008, he has served in the Texas State Guard, where he currently holds the rank of Sergeant Major with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade, responding to hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and other emergencies across the state. He has also mentored young people through the Boy Scouts of America and remains active at Matthew Road Baptist Church.
Across every chapter of his life — business, law enforcement, and military service — James has remained committed to honesty, dependable leadership, and serving wherever there is a need. He brings those same values into real estate, guiding individuals and families through some of life's most important decisions with dedication and care.
James is a proud member of the National Association of REALTORS®, the Texas Association of REALTORS®, and the Arlington Board of REALTORS®....
