James Cross brings a rare level of credibility, connection, and local authority to the Katy real estate market. With over 30 years of leadership in education—including 24 years in Katy ISD and serving as principal of Cinco Ranch High School for more than a decade—James has built deep, lasting relationships throughout the community.
