Bio
Jason started in the commercial real estate industry in 2004 as a multifamily broker, and in 2008 he expanded into syndication and management of multifamily properties. Throughout his tenure as a real estate broker, he collaborated with private investors and families, assisting them in enhancing their cash flow and multiplying their wealth. His experience spans hundreds of transactions and over $1 billion of acquisitions and dispositions of apartment complexes, including many successful and complex 1031 exchanges.
Today, Jason is the president of Pilot Ventures LLC, a company he co-founded in 2017. Under the Pilot umbrella, two distinct brands exist: Pilot Capital and Pilot Property Management.
Pilot Property Management shoulders the responsibility of managing Pilot Capital’s assets within the Puget Sound area and extends its full-service third-party management expertise to regional apartment owners. The capable team at Pilot Property Management efficiently oversees a portfolio of more than 75 assets.
Jason attended the University of Colorado and has completed the University of Washington’s Commercial Real Estate Program. He is a dedicated advocate of continued education and is actively pursuing his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and is currently halfway through that coursework.
When not working Jason enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys, golfing, skiing, and attending Seattle sporting events.
