Jason Mitchell: Relentless focus on mortgage partnerships that drive value for agents


Listen Later

This week on the Power House podcast, Clayton Collins sits down with Jason Mitchell, founder of the Jason Mitchell Group. 

With over $4 billion in annual transaction volume, 8,500 sides, and 800 agents, Jason Mitchell leads one of the largest real estate teams in the country according to RealTrends Verified.

But it isn’t all about scale. Jason shares that he doesn’t need 5,000 agents across the country to win. He only needs about 1,600, and he’s halfway there. He’s in 150 MSAs today, and the episode reveals how Jason thinks about recruiting, M&A and developing new markets. 

What’s unique about Jason’s business? He’s building at the intersection of real estate and mortgage with a highly differentiated b2b referral and lead strategy which hinges around partnerships with top mortgage lenders. And while many mortgage lenders are trying to cozy up to real estate agents for referral business, JMG has flipped the model and gets his real estate leads directly from over mortgage partners who trust his team to deliver a high-quality client experience. 

Jason shares how he’s built a successful real estate brokerage and team using a unique B2B strategy, partnering directly with mortgage lenders and other lead sources to drive business into his brokerage. He also unpacks the importance of prioritizing the needs of the average client to build a strong book of business while also discussing the challenges of growth and the need for strong leadership in market opportunities.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

  • Mortgage partnerships and lead funnels
  • How building a successful brokerage requires a focus on providing business opportunities to agents through partnerships and referrals
  • Why strong leadership is crucial for growth 
  • The importance of agents focusing on serving the average client and building a strong book of business, rather than exclusively chasing luxury listings
  • How success in the real estate industry lies in the individual agent's work ethic and dedication, regardless of the brokerage they are affiliated with
