James and Justin were born and raised in the New Orleans area but settled in Natchitoches in 2007 working as construction managers and engineers for a local construction company. It wasn’t long after their relocation to Natchitoches that the two decided to redirect their focus to the real estate industry. In 2010 they began this endeavor with the creation of Rhodes Properties and Development and the purchase of a single family rental property. Since that time the pair has worked diligently to expand the company(s) both in geographical areas and services offered while maintaining their core values of service, quality, and commitment.
James graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2002 with a degree in Civil Engineering. In 2008, he married his wife Ali, and they have twin daughters, Kaylie and Kendall. Away from the office, James spends his time traveling, boating, scuba diving, fishing, and hunting. James enjoys participating in various community organizations also. Throughout his career, he has served on the board of Directors for the Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, Young Professionals, NSU Athletics, and the LABI Emerging Leaders Council.
Established in 2010 by Justin and James Rhodes, Rhodes Properties and Development serves as a full service general contractor across the State of Louisiana; licensed in both Residential and Commercial Construction. The company’s main focus is new construction single family residential homes; starting with land development and ending with the move-in ready home.

As our inventory grew over the years, Justin and James Rhodes saw the importance of a prominent sales force in the industry. In 2018 Rhodes Realty was launched. Since its inception, the company has instilled its focus on the development of its team to serve not only the needs of our own inventory but of all the communities we serve, spanning the entire state of Louisiana.
In 2016 R and D Homes branched off from Rhodes Properties and Development as its own entity. The company’s main focus is to purchase foreclosed homes at auction, remodel them and then resell. Since its inception, R and D Homes has become a leader in the house flipping industry across Louisiana.
Through the years, Rhodes Rentals has acquired a vast portfolio of long term rentals including single family residential, multi family residential, as well as commercial, spanning the entire state of Louisiana. As the number of properties owned has grown, so has the team. We are proud to manage, maintain, and build all of our properties in house. The team is steadfast in its commitment to tenant satisfaction; developing real time online access for tenants to interact with the team, file work orders, and pay rent.
