Episode 173: James Harris on Building a Million Dollar Mindset

This week, we welcome Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles alum James Harris. James brings the million dollar mindset to life by sharing how he went from being expelled from nine schools in London to selling over $2 billion in luxury real estate. His journey is full of energy, honesty, and practical advice for every agent—no matter your market size or experience.


From London Struggles to Los Angeles Luxury

James left school at 16, driven by a desire to work hard and connect with people. He built a non-existent resume, knocked on doors, and convinced someone to hire him on the spot. Years later, after moving to Los Angeles and facing personal challenges, he made the bold choice to get sober, start fresh, and launch a real estate career from scratch.


Breaking Into Luxury Real Estate

With no local contacts or name recognition, James and his business partner David Parnes grew their business through relentless door knocking, smart strategy, and consistent effort. He shares how they focused on off-market tear-downs, built relationships with developers, and closed over $160 million in their first year. This mindset of persistence and creativity is the foundation of James’s million dollar mindset.


Behind the Scenes of Million Dollar Listing

James offers a behind-the-scenes look at his time on Million Dollar Listing LA. He explains how filming 11 months out of the year impacted his family life and business. He also shares why he ultimately chose to step away from the show and what he’s building now with his newsletter The Blueprint.


Simple Success, Powerful Results

One of the most surprising parts of this interview is James’s focus on simplicity. He reminds us that success comes from consistent communication, being a reliable source of information, and providing value every day. His million dollar mindset isn’t about flash—it’s about service, discipline, and pushing through fear.


What’s Next for James Harris

James discusses where the market is headed and how he’s scaling his business. He believes the agents who survive challenging markets are the ones who adapt quickly. His advice to agents in any market is clear: avoid fear, act fast, and provide consistent service. The opportunity is still there if you’re willing to work for it.
