James Ashby says that he has been working since he could walk.  He started on his grandfather’s farm and, at age 12, began helping at the family market in Waymart PA, Cavage’s Country Farm Market.  James has become a well-rounded salesperson with project management, communication, and new business development skills through his association with PA Amish Structures, where he sells and manages the installation projects for recreational structures, garages, and sheds.  He also has several years of building and construction-related experience from his employment at Grimm Construction and Pioneer Construction Company.

The next logical step for James was real estate sales and he is excited to be on the Lewith & Freeman team.  James specializes in residential real estate in Wayne and Pike Counties. James is an organized multi-tasker, detail oriented, trustworthy, dedicated, and decisive with excellent communication and leadership skills.  

James graduated from Western Wayne High School. He studied Electrical Construction Technology and contract drawings at Johnson College in Scranton, PA and graduated as an Electrical Line Worker from Northwest Lineman College in Daytona Beach, Florida.  James holds the NCCO Crane Certification, a Metering Certification, and the OSHA 10 Electrical Transmission & Distribution Certification.  He received his real estate training at Polley Associates School of Real Estate.

James is a NEPA-area native with extensive ties to several communities.  He has lived in Honesdale and Waymart and is currently residing in Forest City.  James likes to spend his free time golfing, hiking, hunting, and fishing.
