Jared James

“Today With Jared James” is a popular real estate podcast, and it’s one of many ways that its host reaches and influences the real estate industry. During 2024, James focused as always on growing that audience, reaching 200,000 new followers across his social media, with a reported 50 million views on his Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok videos.

James doesn’t keep his influence confined to digital media, though. Last year, he co-founded the real estate app FyrstUp, which allows agents/brokers to discuss open houses and pre-market listings. During 2024, James grew FyrstUp via new partnerships with various RE/MAX affiliates. He also expanded his influence further by acquiring tech company Broker Assist.

“The best part of my career is getting up every day and knowing that I chose this life,” he says. “I get to wake up and know that what I do affects the lives of the people we serve each and every time we put out a piece of content, get on a stage and talk or go live with our community. Not everyone gets to say that.”
