- Description
- Kapit started as an attorney & securities trader for a privately held firm in NY. He transitioned into the So FL real estate market, and with over $140M in sales, has joined the ranks of the elite.
Background
Who is Jason Kapit?
Jason Kapit is truly just a regular guy. A veteran of the law and securities trading industries, this South Florida native successfully transitioned into the real estate arena and has worked diligently building an expansive client base, affording him the sales opportunities he receives today! Jason is an associate with Berkshire Hathaway's EWM Realtors and is a member of The Florida Bar and Master Brokers Forum.
What Contributes to Jason's Success?
With more than 10 years of experience in the real estate industry, Jason attributes several factors to his success: visibility within the community, heartfelt community involvement with the ACS and other extraordinary charities, a strong referral base, knowledge of the market, transactional and legal expertise, and an excellence in quality and customer service. "I do not use assistants or secretaries to return telephone calls," Jason explains. "Buyers and Sellers have hired me to be their agent. They expect and deserve my personal attention."
Expertise
Jason specializes in high-end luxury homes in several prestigious area enclaves throughout Broward County. He provides a range of marketing assistance to his clients - who only expect the utmost in quality service - including a massive Internet presence, print media advertising, custom brochures, professional photography and writing a popular monthly real estate column. "My customers insist on first-rate marketing," says Jason. "And they get it!"
Family & Background
Jason has been married to Mindy for 10 years and they have two children. He grew up in Hollywood, attended Pine Crest Prep and Hollywood Hills High, ultimately graduating from the University of Florida and Mississippi Law. He is an efficient time manager who balances hard work and spending time with his family. And his advice for potential Buyers and Sellers: "Hire the best and brightest. This is not a market where you can afford to misstep."
Philosophy
Jason Kapit operates his business and draws motivation from the following: 'If you want to be the best, you have to strive to be perfect every day' ... John Madden - Sports legend, MNF & SNF announcer, and former head coach of the Oakland Raiders from 1969-1978. To this day, Madden currently has the best winning percentage (.750) of any head coach in NFL history.
Areas of Expertise
Geographically - Weston, Southwest Ranches, Sunshine Ranches, Davie and the surrounding West Broward corridor.
Price Point - Typically, single-family homes $750,000 and above but will meet with any client regardless of property amount to determine if there is a good fit for assistance/representation in the sale.
Special attributes - Legal background allows for expert negotiation (simple or complex), contract familiarity and a keen ability to detect fraud in various forms.

THANK YOU very much for the very thoughtful gift (really above and beyond). I know you guys worked hard in what has been and continues to be an extremely tough market. I sincerely hope things pick up for everyone down there. I promise if I ever have to move back to So Fla you are our team. Maybe some day when they make me General Counsel of Carnival Cruise Lines or some other Fortune 500 company based in South Florida I will need your services again. Thanks again for all of your help.

We just wanted to thank you for the impeccable job you did regarding the sale of our home in North Lakes and the purchase of our new home in the Landings. As you witnessed first hand, the decision for us to move within Weston was not made lightly, especially based on the fact that we lived in our North Lakes home for 11 years. Once we decided to make the move, the decision to use the services of the JK Team was an easy one. Your knowledge of the Weston real estate market, your attention to detail and your prompt and reliable service helped make the process go very smoothly and successfully.
Initially, with all of the available avenues on the internet to locate home listings, I did not believe I would need a real estate agent to locate a new home. Unfortunately, the internet did not contain the latest listings, and also continued to show listings that had been sold for many months. Accordingly, the internet did not provide a valuable tool during our search for a new home. Through this process, I truly gained an appreciation for the JK Team. Aly was also especially helpful, spending many hours answering our questions and helping us throughout this transaction.
In addition to the assistance the JK Team provided during the purchase transaction, the service provided in connection with selling our home was probably more important. All of the details of the sales process were handled in an expert and professional manner by the JK Team. From marketing our property, to scheduling appointments to show our home, to negotiating the final sales price, I was very impressed with the organization and skill level exhibited by you personally, and the entire JK Team. As a result of your efforts, we had approximately 10 potential buyers come to our home during the first few days after the property was listed, and we had a signed contract in about one week. Even after the contract was signed, the JK Team handled the scheduling of inspections, calendaring all relevant deadlines and made sure the transaction proceeded to closing. We are very happy with our new home, and are very thankful that you assisted us with such diligence and expertise. Please feel free to use us as a reference any time.

We just purchased our first home in Coral Springs, FL. Both my husband and I are in the real estate business and even though we help people close their real estate transactions every day it is never the same when you are buying YOUR own home. I can honestly say that we were not the easiest clients to deal with and on top of that our sellers lived in another country, making the transaction that much more complex. Jay was extremely helpful and easy going during our time of stress and was always available to speak to when needed. Both Jay and his broker, Ernesto Vega at Realty World were very accommodating and helped us to solve several issues along the way. We know hundreds of realtors here in South Florida and I have to say that Jay Kapit and his team are of the highest caliber! Thanks for putting up with us Jay...

In purchasing my first home I never realized that I would come across as many problems as I did. Thank G-d I had Jason Kapit as my real estate broker. One by one he solved each and every problem and was able to get the deal done. If I did not have such strong representation, this deal would have never materialized. I cannot recommend Jason enough to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. His calm approach and ability to solve unforeseen problems is second to none.

We originally tried to sell our Southwest Ranches home ourselves. Most of the initial interest was from Realtors trying to acquire the listing. When we finally decided we needed professional representation, we interviewed everyone. Jason Kapit impressed us. His legal and financial backgrounds were an overwhelming factor in our decision to utilize his services. Without a doubt, he has all the tools, knowledge and professionalism necessary to undertake the task at hand.
