About Us
It’s About All of You. More than just a tagline. Sometimes it seems like there are a million real estate brokerages, and a million agents, here in South Florida. They all say they’re different and they try to differentiate on service levels.
We’ve taken a different approach. We differentiate on the comprehensive and integrative nature of our offerings. No one in the market compares.
Florida is our home, and should be a place for all of us. You don’t need to spend a lot of time looking at statistics (that’s one of our jobs here, actually) to see that Florida has been, and continues to be, an attractive place to live and build a life. It’s particularly attractive as a place to start what our founder calls a “Third Act” — when you’re not ready for the rocking chair, but not wanting to work 60 hours a week either.
Founded in 2016 as New Realty Concepts, we began focusing just on the real estate purchase part of the equation. But we quickly found — and it became obvious on reflection — that there is so much more to the decision to move to and live here in South Florida. And a different person — and personality — for it all. Our hypothesis — combine it all under one roof and have a single point of contact for a comprehensive and integrative package.
James Oaksun is the founder of Integrative Life Strategies, and is Broker-Owner of its affiliate real estate brokerage, New Realty Concepts.
Originally from Buffalo, New York, James worked in the northeast in a variety of financial and actuarial positions, and spent most of his first career (what he calls his “second act”) with Unum Group in Portland, Maine.
In 2013, James started his next act (“act three”) by moving to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and entering the real estate business. After brief stints at three other brokerages, he earned his broker license and started New Realty Concepts in 2016.
In 2025 he began Integrative Life Strategies as an extension of and complement to the real estate operations.
James is also a Florida-licensed mortgage loan originator (NMLS 2601610) affiliated with Loan Factory, and holds a Florida general lines insurance license (G-130907).
He is a cum laude graduate of Dartmouth College and holds an MBA in finance from Cornell University.
James lives in Lighthouse Point, Florida, with his retired racing greyhound, Koffee.
