Meet Jason
Owner and Managing Broker Solid Oak Realty, Inc.
The word Home is deeply meaningful to me, and I believe that it’s deeply meaningful to you too. It will, or has been, your place of rest, memories, challenges, growth, and joy. Whether you’re buying or selling your home, it’s a transition time in your life that requires care and thoughtfulness.
I can relate with this as I moved 7 times in 7 years. My first career was serving the US Army as an AH-64 Apache helicopter pilot. I had the honor and privilege to fly missions and lead teams in South Korea, Afghanistan, and Eastern Europe.
Although I left home a lot, I always looked forward to coming home.
To me, real estate is more than a career, It’s a passion.
The professionalism required to fly, fight, and lead, is the same professionalism I bring to real estate.
I started Solid Oak Realty to deliver a custom experience to every client that trusts us with their Home. Whether it’s your first home or dream home, we believe in a custom experience, every time.
