CJ Hembrook
Associate Broker
Chatham, has been home for my wife, our two daughters, and me since 2011, and we love being part of this community. I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, and went to college in Minnesota, where I was lucky enough to meet my amazing wife.
I spent 20 years in the Air National Guard, flying KC-135s and taking on various staff roles. After my military service, I explored both flying and non-flying careers. Over the years, my family and I have moved 11 times, even managing a couple of rental properties, which sparked my love for real estate.
Concurrent to my work at RE/MAX, I work remotely for Boeing as a Navy P-8 training systems test pilot/engineer. I take pride in hard work, attention to detail, and being active in the community.

Our Exclusive Listing Programs
If the Sales Force can’t sell it, Jim will buy it!!! The confidence in knowing you have a buyer for your home no matter what will allow you to begin searching for a new home immediately as well as locking in your mortgage rate.
Our most popular combination of a pre-sale inspection, repairs and home warranty will make your home a more secure purchase from the perspective of a potential buyer. This option diminishes the potential for a lost sale due to a post-offer inspection surprise and makes for a more secure sale.
A more traditional method of home sales. However, with us traditional does not mean antiquated. We implement all forms of marketing including the newest trends in web marketing and social media. Think of it as home selling on steroids!
The marketing genius that is the Coming Soon program plays on the human desire to have something no one else has, before everyone else has it! In essence, while you prepare your home for showings.
Instant Offer’s transparent pricing model provides speed and certainty. We make a competitive offer on your home right away, and we will also provide a suggested list price if you want to sell traditionally. It’s the best of both worlds.

Diane, Sold in 2019
“The team was incredibly easy to work with. It was like they were selling their home. They made the entire process so painless and easy. I would recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home.”
Robert, Sold in 2020
“Well it’s done and we wondered if it were going to happen at all. I owe you a big debt of gratitude. Had it not been for your prompting we wouldn’t have gotten this deal together. Thanks for being patient. I’m sure you’ve done a few thousand of these things, and your professionalism really shows. You made it easy for me. You’re THE BEST!”
Liz, Bought and Sold in 2017
““The sale of my house and purchase of a new house would not have happened without Jim Fulgenzi and Co. They were incredible to work with, they took what was a very stressful situation and turned it into an easy transition. They were in constant communication and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to negotiate the best deal on both homes. I highly recommend Jim’s team. They truly are the best!”
