He graduated from Woodbury University and holds a Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) professional 5-year degree.

Beginning his professional real estate career with Coldwell Banker Beachside Realtors (CBBR) in 2003, CBBR presented James the “Outstanding and Top First Year Salesperson Award” in real estate sales and production in 2004. In 2005, James was honored the “Coldwell Banker International Diamond Society Award” for top sales production. This award is given to the Top 7% of Coldwell Banker (CB) agents worldwide.
Throughout their years with CB, James and his wife Margret were the recipients of numerous top production awards for gross commission income (GCI), closed sales transactions, and listings taken. Margret, originally from Egypt, speaks fluent Arabic. Like her husband James, Margret is also the Founder and a Broker-Associate of Costera Luxury Properties.
Both James and Margret were trained and certified as Coldwell Banker Previews International Luxury Property Specialists and as Corporate Relocation Specialists in the CB Referral/Relocation Division: Cendant Mobility Affinity Specialists; and Cartus Network Affinity Specialists (CNAS) with USAA MoversAdvantage® and Home Event Services Programs.

In 2020, the Hoppe's incorporated their real estate brand under the name Preview Orange County Real Estate, Inc. (PreviewOC), and in 2021, launched Costera Luxury Properties, which serves the coastal SoCal luxury real estate market and offers top-notch professional real estate services to the sales and marketing of high-end luxury residential properties.
