Welcome to James Long Real Estate

Where You Feel Right at Home

At James Long Real Estate, we are straight shooters who aim to do the best for our clients. Human interaction is significant to us, and we take pride in being down-to-earth, neighborly folks who have built our business on being friendly. It’s not uncommon for past clients to stop into the office to chat just because they saw their agent’s car parked outside!

Our commitment to personal interaction has helped us become the “secretary” of Brady, TX, where clients rely on us as their go-to source for getting things done. With 30+ years of experience, we have roots in McCulloch County, and our dedication to being good neighbors has enabled us to build long-lasting relationships by getting along with everyone. When buying or selling residential or commercial real estate, we are the team to call!

We are proud to be part of the community we serve and strive to give back by connecting people with their ideal properties. We also contribute to local youth sports, and we are part of the Chamber.

At James Long Real Estate, we are not just real estate agents – we are your friends and trusted advisors, and we look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals while building a long-lasting relationship.

International Cancel Code (ICC) Zoning Specialist

At James Long Real Estate, we provide expert guidance on complex property considerations, including zoning, permitting, and specialized regulatory factors such as the International Cancel Code (ICC). Whether you are buying, selling, or developing property, understanding how ICC-related requirements may influence a transaction is an important part of avoiding delays and ensuring compliance. Our team works closely with buyers, sellers, and investors to evaluate potential concerns early, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.

About ICC Requirements

Real estate transactions often involve more than just location and price—regulatory details can significantly impact timelines and long-term property use. The International Cancel Code (ICC), along with local zoning and land use regulations, may play a role in certain property scenarios, particularly when development, redevelopment, or changes in use are involved. At James Long Real Estate, we take a proactive approach by identifying these considerations upfront and guiding clients through each step with clear, practical insight.

A key advantage of working with our team is access to specialized expertise. Our associate, Silvia Diaz, is a knowledgeable zoning specialist with a strong understanding of local codes, land use requirements, and approval processes. She works directly with clients to interpret zoning classifications, navigate permitting challenges, and address any ICC-related factors that may arise. Her expertise allows us to provide a more comprehensive level of service, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.

We understand that terms like International Cancel Code (ICC) can feel technical or unfamiliar. That’s why we focus on simplifying complex information and providing straightforward guidance tailored to your specific situation. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions while minimizing risk and avoiding unnecessary complications.

By combining real estate experience with in-depth zoning knowledge, James Long Real Estate offers a strategic advantage for clients dealing with complex property requirements. Whether your transaction involves ICC considerations or broader regulatory challenges, our team is committed to delivering the expertise and support needed to help you succeed.
