Bridging Development and Community in Raleigh's Market

Jason founded Monarch Realty Co. in 2014 with a mission to bridge the gap between developers, investors, and home buyers and sellers. He believed a brokerage should do more than transact - it should transform neighborhoods and nurture relationships. This vision is evident in every deal he negotiates.

Clients often note that Monarch Realty is one of the most dynamic teams they've worked with, thanks to Jason's multifaceted background. He and his team don't just list and sell houses; they leverage their experience as marketers, interior designers, historic preservation specialists, and neighborhood developers to maximize each property's value. The result? Seamless, concierge-level service where clients feel confident their broker can "wear many hats" on their behalf - without them having to manage a dozen different consultants.
