About James Blueweiss
Why Clients Choose James:
Marketing Expertise.
Strategic Negotiation.
Exceptional Results.
Consistently ranked among the top-producing agents at Brown Harris Stevens in the Hamptons, James Blueweiss combines world-class marketing expertise with highly personalized service to help buyers, sellers, landlords, and renters achieve their real estate goals. Whether representing a luxury estate, waterfront retreat, investment property, or seasonal rental, James is known for thoughtful pricing strategies, sophisticated marketing, skilled negotiation, and an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional results.
With more than 30 years of experience spanning media, marketing, technology, and business development, James brings a distinctive perspective to luxury real estate. Before joining Brown Harris Stevens, he served as Senior Vice President at Meredith Corporation and CBS Television Distribution, where he helped develop, launch, and distribute nationally recognized lifestyle brands including Martha Stewart Living, Bob Vilas Home Again, Better Homes & Gardens, and This Old House. He later served as Head of U.S. Sales Operations for two Israeli artificial intelligence startups, further expanding his expertise in innovation, strategic growth, and global business development.
That diverse background shaped the philosophy James brings to every listing today: exceptional homes deserve exceptional marketing. Successfully selling a home requires far more than placing it on the MLS. It requires understanding how buyers think, positioning a property strategically, creating compelling marketing, and negotiating effectively from the first showing through the closing table.
Leveraging both his extensive personal network and the powerful regional, national, and international reach of Brown Harris Stevens—including offices throughout New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Palm Beach, Miami, and the Hamptons, together with Luxury Portfolio International—James develops customized marketing strategies designed to maximize exposure, generate qualified buyer interest, and achieve the strongest possible outcome for every client.
An entrepreneur at heart, James is also the founder of CBGB Holdings, where he acquired and revitalized the intellectual property of New York Citys legendary CBGB brand. Through strategic partnerships with companies including iHeartMedia, Activision, Bravado, and Vans, he expanded the brands global reach while helping establish a permanent CBGB exhibition at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The creativity, branding expertise, and strategic thinking that defined his business career continue to distinguish his approach to real estate today.
Having personally bought, sold, renovated, rented, and invested in multiple properties in both New York City and East Hampton, James understands firsthand the emotional and financial decisions involved in every real estate transaction. Clients value his market knowledge, responsiveness, integrity, attention to detail, and ability to make what can often be a complex process feel organized, informed, and enjoyable. Much of his business comes from referrals and repeat clients—a reflection of the lasting relationships he builds and the trust he earns.
A Long Island native and East Hampton homeowner since 1999, James resides full-time in East Hampton and maintains a second home in New York City. When not assisting clients, he enjoys cooking and entertaining, gardening, tennis, bicycling, and supporting charitable and community organizations throughout the East End.
"I selected James Blueweiss to be my exclusive broker and soon found out that he goes far above what anyone would reasonably expect from a real estate professional. He was knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and superb during the negotiating process for the final sales price. We couldnt have done it without him."
