Mr. Fisher began his real estate career more than 23 years ago as owner/operator of his family’s motel (Spain Apartments & Cottages) located on the Gulf of Mexico in Panama City Beach, FL. As an active advocate for the land entitlement and zoning changes adopted by Panama City Beach (2001), he used his real estate expertise as resort condominiums flourished in the area and thousands of new homes for residents and rentals for visitors became available. James also participated in the development of Ocean Villa, a 132-unit/22-story resort now on the site of the original family motel. For this project, he brought it through the permitting process, including land entitlement, zoning and the issuance of the development order. In 2006, he formally began his career in real estate sales and management in 2006. As a longtime Panama City Beach resident, he is well known and respected for his integrity and business acumen in the region. In addition, he has a unique and full understanding of the wants and needs of small businesses.
