From Barber to Real Estate Developer, James "Monte" Montague on The E-Spot with Camille Kauer
Mr. James Montague is the quintessential entrepreneur. A native of Southeast Raleigh, he came from humble beginnings, starting his career as a barber. After he was abruptly forced to vacate rental space at no fault of his own, he quickly realized that the secret sauce for sustainability and wealth creation was not in being a tenant, but in being an owner. This lesson planted a seed of curiosity and a strong desire that nudged him toward real estate development and ownership.
Fast forward a few decades, Montague’s climb to developer and landlord has placed him at the helm of F7 International Development and a flourishing real estate business. Never forgetting his roots and the communities that shaped him, he has an unwavering commitment to utilizing his resources and influence to create opportunities for underserved, marginalized groups.
His real estate development projects include the following:
With a tireless work ethic, Montague is just getting started. He currently has plans to bring a Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) Center to Montague Plaza, among other endeavors. As he continues to touch people and places in more impactful ways, his commitment to set the bar high when it comes to doing well and doing good remains unchanged.
