My Story

Meet Your Instructor James Hunter

Hey, it's James Hunter - Commercial Real Estate Professional, incoming 2026 President of CIP (Commercial Investment Professionals of SWFL), and your guide to commercial real estate success.

Twenty years ago, I was originating commercial loans in banking, seeing deals happen all around me but not yet on the real estate side. I saw agents leaving massive money on the table—referring out commercial deals, missing opportunities, or worse, trying to handle them without proper knowledge and losing credibility.

I rolled up my sleeves and committed myself to mastering commercial real estate from every angle. Banking gave me the financial foundation. Getting into brokerage gave me the transaction experience. Closing over $100M in commercial deals gave me the battle scars and victories that can't be taught in theory.

Now, after building a thriving commercial practice, working with sophisticated investors, and becoming a recognized authority in Southwest Florida's commercial market, I'm on track for another record year while maintaining work-life balance and serving clients at the highest level.

But here's what matters most: I built this by following a proven system. Not luck. Not connections alone. A systematic approach to learning commercial real estate that ANY licensed agent can follow.

I created Commercial Roadmap Academy because I was tired of watching good agents either:

1. Ignore commercial opportunities completely

2. Fumble deals they shouldn't have taken

3. Stay stuck in residential because commercial felt "too complicated"

It's not too complicated. It just requires the right roadmap.

That's what this course gives you — everything I wish someone had handed me when I started: the language, the deal structures, the financial analysis, the due diligence framework, and the confidence to step into commercial real estate as a true professional.

If you're ready to serve business owners and investors at a higher level, earn commissions that actually move your financial needle, and build lasting expertise in commercial real estate, let's do this together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to be an experienced agent to take this course?

No. You just need to be licensed and motivated. We start with foundations and build systematically. That said, some real estate experience helps you appreciate the differences between residential and commercial.

Q: How long does it take to complete the course?

The course contains 89 videos (~10 hours of content). Most agents complete it in 8-10 weeks studying 30-45 minutes per day. But you have lifetime access—go at your own pace.

Q: Will I be ready to handle commercial deals after this course?

Yes—with appropriate deals. You'll be equipped to handle:

- Small commercial properties (under $5M)

- Straightforward lease structures

- Standard due diligence

- Financial analysis and valuation

For complex deals (large assets, complicated structures, major developments), you'll know when to partner with specialists or refer out.

Q: What if I don't have a commercial niche picked yet?

Perfect. Module 3 helps you choose your niche based on your market, strengths, and interests. Don't pick before taking the course—let the education inform your decision.

Q: Do I get continued support after the course?

Yes. Course enrollment includes access to weekly Monday Masterclass group Q&A sessions. Private mentoring and group coaching are available as add-ons.

Q: What's the refund policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you complete the first 3 modules and don't feel this course is delivering value, request a full refund. No questions asked.

Q: Can I really earn $150K+ commissions in commercial?

Yes—but not overnight. A $5M commercial property at 5% commission = $250K total commission. Split with buyer's agent = $125K. On a single deal. Are these deals common for beginners? No. But they're possible within 12-24 months of building your commercial expertise and network.

Q: How is this different from other commercial real estate courses?

Three things that make this different than most courses out there:

1) Taught by an active commercial broker (not a retired agent or "guru")

2) Comprehensive system, not piecemeal tips

3) Focused on what you actually need to close deals, not academic theory

Q: What format is the course?

Self-paced video modules with downloadable resources, templates, and checklists. Watch on any device. Lifetime access means you can revisit modules as you work on real deals.

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Multiple payment options available. Contact us to discuss what works for your budget.
