Keller Williams Realty is acquiring the Jason Mitchell Group, a Scottsdale, Arizona-based teamerage brokerage that operates in 37 states. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.  

With more than 1,200 affiliated agents, JMG reportedly generated nearly $5.9 billion in sales volume across more than 12,300 transaction sides in 2025.  

Founder Jason Mitchell will continue to lead the business as president of the JMG Division and serve on Keller Williams’ executive team. Jake Kraft, chief revenue officer at JMG, and Ken Friedlander, vice president of operations at JMG, will also join Keller Williams as part of the acquisition. 

“At KW, our job is simple: give entrepreneurs the models, systems and platform they need to thrive,” said Chris Czarnecki, CEO and president of Keller Williams. “Simply put, JMG is the number one teamerage in the U.S.; 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.” 

Mitchell added, “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.”
