About James Sierra | Myrick Estates Team
My Story

From nursing school to helping South Bay families find home.

I was two classes away from finishing my nursing degree when I had an honest moment with myself. It wasn't the right path. What drew me to nursing, being there for someone during a stressful, unfamiliar moment and making sure they felt taken care of, turned out to be exactly what makes a great real estate agent. I gave myself one year to make real estate work. I never looked back.

Before any of that, I was a college athlete. I played college baseball at a high level, and that experience shaped how I approach this business more than people realize. Discipline, time management, showing up prepared every single day, and handling pressure without losing your composure. Those aren't just baseball lessons. They're exactly what it takes to guide someone through one of the biggest financial decisions of their life.

Today I specialize in first-time buyers and seller representation, serving San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Campbell, Mountain View, and surrounding South Bay communities. I'm a Broker Associate with Keller Williams Bay Area Estates, DRE #02204760.

Meet the Team

Real estate is a team sport. Here's who's behind every transaction we handle.

The Myrick Estates Team
Jim Myrick

Jim Myrick

Team Principal

Jim has been in the business for 40-plus years and is a legend in the industry. He's served as Board President of the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors and was named Realtor of the Year.

Denise Myrick

Denise Myrick

Project Manager & Staging Director

Denise has a background in project management and high tech. She builds all of our schedules and timelines, and oversees our staging, always bringing a clean, unique touch to every property.

Carlos Arteaga

Carlos Arteaga

Realtor Associate

Carlos is hungry, hardworking, and handles a lot of the boots-on-the-ground work alongside me. He's also a teacher, so guiding and helping people comes naturally to him. As the younger two on the team, he and I connect especially well with buyers.

Josephine Reed Jean

Josephine Reed & Jean

Full-Time Assistants, Transactions & Property Management

Josephine handles all of our transactions and property management, face-to-face with clients and on top of every scheduling detail. Jean is newer to the team and shares that same role. Together, that means our clients always get fast, attentive service.

Behind the Scenes

How We Work Together

A team is only as good as its communication. Here's how we stay fast and coordinated on every deal.

Monday Team Meetings

We meet twice a week on Mondays to go over what's going on, plan for the week and weekend ahead, and make sure clients get the reports they need on their property and home value.

One Team Number

Every "for sale" sign call or text goes to one shared team number that Jim, Denise, Carlos, Josephine, Jean, and I all have access to. Whoever responds first handles it, which is exactly why we're so fast.

A Personal Group Chat, Too

Alongside the team number, we also set up a group chat using our personal numbers for every client, so you keep that personal touch while we respond to leads and interest as fast as possible.
