JARRIEL JORDAN
The Home Team Realty Group
Age: 26 | Years in RE: 5 | 2022 Sales: $13,900,000
With five years of experience in the industry, Jarriel Jordan has already established himself as a top-performing real estate agent, having sold almost $14 million in the last year alone.
Before pursuing a career in real estate, Jarriel was a D1 football player at the University of Richmond. He faced the challenge of being a minority student at a predominantly white institution but was determined to make a difference. He found his voice by speaking up in class and joining various student organizations and served as a mentor to other students of diverse backgrounds.
Jarriel prides himself on his youthful approach and personality, making the process of buying and selling real estate enjoyable for his clients. His definition of success is to have an entire brokerage that runs on itself, allowing him to be hands-off with his real estate business.
Jarriel's biggest dream is to be on and win Family Feud, a game show he watches every day. As an investor himself, Jarriel approaches his clients from a different perspective, helping them strategize how to add value to a property within budget. He has over 100,000 followers on TikTok, which generates plenty of buyer/seller leads per week for him.
Jarriel's goals for the remainder of the year include finding a better work-life balance to spend more time with his one-year-old son and family as he gets married next April. Jarriel also supports Jacobs Ladder Youth Foundation, a family-owned non-profit.
