James was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. Having attended prestigious Incarnate Word Academy since grade school, James was fortunate to attend one of the finest Catholic Schools in the country. James learned the importance of not only academics but also the importance of strong moral values and strict discipline. Days were spent at school and afternoons at the family printing business. From an early age James was able to watch his dad & brothers in action running a small business. Seeing all the parts working together and the value of hard work helped elevate James's understanding of business at an early age. In 2000 James decided to delve full force into Real Estate. Within his first full year of production he was able to earn "Rookie Of The Year" and achieve top production at his Century 21 office. Not willing to stand still in 2004 James started his own Real Estate company and quickly grew to over 40 agents. In 2005 James began investing heavily in Real Estate and has grown a significant portfolio of multi-family properties. In 2009 James teamed up with Chris Montalvo and formed Mirabal Montalvo & Associates LLC. Mirabal Montalvo has quickly gained market share and has some of the highest production numbers in all of South Texas.

As the market evolved, Chris pivoted into commercial real estate as well as REO and HUD sales to sustain and grow his business. He has built strong working relationships with asset managers on both local and national levels.


Chris has ranked as the #1 Broker in Corpus Christi for closed transactions for three consecutive years. Since 2009, he has remained one of the leading brokers in the area. Nationally, Chris earned recognition in The Wall Street Journal Real Trends Top 1000, ranking #119 in 2013, #76 in 2014, and #62 in 2015 for top real estate professionals by transaction sides.
