James Poukka
Hello, my name is James Poukka. I am excited to keep building my career in real estate while bringing the work ethic, communication skills, and attention to detail I have developed across a variety of roles.
Before real estate, I worked as an Installation Technician at Pinnacle Communications in Fargo, where I supported hospitality technology installs and low voltage projects across the country. I also worked remotely for an AI startup based in San Francisco, Drishti Tech Inc, where I gained a strong appreciation for fast paced environments, ownership, and the startup mindset. Those experiences helped me become a proactive problem solver who stays calm under pressure and focuses on getting the details right. I believe real estate is the tangible foundation where dreams take shape, investments grow, and communities thrive. I enjoy guiding people through decisions with clear communication, practical planning, and strong negotiation when it matters. Outside of work, I have a passion for travel and languages. I lived on an Army base in Germany for four years, and it sparked a lifelong appreciation for new places and cultures. I have visited all 50 United States, and I have traveled to Iceland, Paris, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. When I am not planning my next trip, I am usually doing something aquatic like swimming, kayaking, or boating in the Lakes Country. In summer I also enjoy getting outside on my Segway scooter or my Honda Shadow Ridge motorcycle. In winter, I keep busy with reading, video games, and indoor house projects, and when time allows, I enjoy the occasional music festival. What sets me apart is the way I think creatively and connect with people. I believe relationships matter, and that the right connection can open doors, create opportunities, and move goals forward.
