Keller Williams Realty, LLC (KW) has declared its intention to acquire the Jason Mitchell Group (JMG), which operates as a team-oriented, independent brokerage.
“At KW, our job is simple: give entrepreneurs the models, systems, and platform they need to thrive,” said Chris Czarnecki, CEO and President of KW. “Simply put, JMG is the number one teamerage in the US; they represent exactly the kind of entrepreneurial success KW was built to support. Jason has created one of the industry’s most effective platforms for connecting consumers with great agents, and we’re proud they chose KW for their next chapter of growth.”
What the Acquisition Entails for All Involved
The acquisition provides KW with a successful and highly scalable business that manages consumer leads through partnerships with prominent mortgage lenders and various real estate platforms, such as Rocket Mortgage, Mr. Cooper, Redfin, Zillow, New American Funding, and Veterans United.
JMG is based in Scottsdale, AZ, and functions in 37 states with over 1,200 affiliated agents. As reported by RealTrends Verified, the brokerage achieved nearly $5.9 billion in sales volume across more than 12,300 transaction sides in 2025.
“We’ve spent years building a network designed to connect motivated buyers and sellers with great agents and deliver an exceptional experience for both,” Mitchell said. “I’ve admired KW since starting my real estate career; when it came time to select a partner for the next phase of growth, my choice was clear. KW offers the culture, people and opportunity to be part of the most connected real estate platform in the world.”
Mitchell will maintain his role as president of the JMG Division and will be a member of KW’s executive team. Additionally, Jake Kraft, who serves as the chief revenue officer at JMG, along with Ken Friedlander, VP of Operations at JMG, will also become part of KW following the acquisition.
“This transaction represents a win-win for all parties involved; Jason has built an incredible business and has proven that phenomenal client services can be delivered at scale,” Czarnecki said. “Together, we are creating an engine for further growth by providing a worldwide platform for JMG to continue to expand.”
The closing is contingent upon specific conditions and is expected to occur in Q3 of 2026.
