Meet Jason Bergman

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jason Bergman. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jason below.

Jason, so glad you were able to set aside some time for us today. We’ve always admired not just your journey and success, but also the seemingly high levels of self-discipline that you seem to have mastered and so maybe we can start by chatting about how you developed it or where it comes from?
My self-discipline comes from an unwavering drive to achieve my goals and the relentless pursuit of building something meaningful in real estate. I’ve always believed that discipline is the bridge between our goals and accomplishments, and that mindset is what continues to drive me every day.

It also helps to love what you do. I love real estate. It’s a career I’m very passionate about. When you’re passionate about what you’re doing, it becomes easier to stay disciplined because you’re genuinely invested in the actions and the outcome.

As an entrepreneur (real estate is entrepreneurship) you quickly learn that no one is going to hustle for your dreams as hard as you will. That realization fuels a strong sense of discipline.

Moreover, my discipline is reinforced by a supportive community and the accountability that comes with it. Surrounding myself with other like-minded top-producing agents at The Agency Pasadena pushes me to stay on track and keeps me moving forward.

It’s not just about being: Jason Bergman The Best Real Estate Agent in Pasadena, it’s the daily discipline of the actions that come with the title: being relentless, staying adaptable, and always pushing myself to grow and improve. That combination of internal drive and external support keeps my self-discipline strong.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Thank you for having me! I’m excited to share my journey and what I’m passionate about in the world of real estate.

My name is Jason Bergman, I’m a top-producing real estate agent at The Agency Pasadena office. I began my career with a deep love for the business of real estate, architecture, and design. That naturally evolved into a passion for helping people find their dream homes.

What I find most exciting about my work is the opportunity to connect with clients on a personal level and understand their unique needs and desires. Every property has a story, and I see my role as a matchmaker, pairing individuals and families with homes that truly resonate with their lifestyles and aspirations.
One of the special aspects of my approach is the emphasis on personalized service and attention to detail. I believe buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction; it’s a significant life event that deserves the utmost care and professionalism.

My team and I strive to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for our clients from the initial consultation to the final closing.

Currently, we are preparing the launch of Platform Pasadena- a premier monthly networking event designed for Los Angeles’ dynamic community of business leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, and creatives. Our mission is to create a vibrant space where ideas flourish, collaborations spark, and innovations take flight.

In addition, we are also creating educational workshops for first-time homebuyers and investors. These workshops are designed to demystify the real estate process, providing valuable insights and practical advice to empower participants to make informed decisions.

Overall, my brand is built on trust, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping clients achieve their real estate goals. Whether it’s finding a dream home, making a smart investment, or selling a property for top dollar, I’m dedicated to delivering exceptional results and creating lasting relationships.

Thank you for this opportunity to share my story. I look forward to continuing to grow and innovate in the real estate industry and continue to have a positive impact in the communities I serve.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey, there are three qualities that have been most impactful: perseverance, communication, and a deep understanding of the market.

Perseverance: The real estate industry is highly competitive and often unpredictable. There are many challenges along the way, from tough negotiations to fluctuating market conditions. Perseverance has been crucial in pushing through these obstacles and maintaining my long-term vision. For those early in their journey, I recommend staying resilient and committed to your goals. Embrace setbacks as learning opportunities and keep pushing forward, no matter how tough the journey might seem.

Communication: Effective communication is at the heart of real estate. It’s about listening to clients, understanding their needs, and clearly articulating the value of a property. Good communication builds trust and fosters strong relationships, which are essential in this business. For newcomers, I suggest honing your communication skills by actively listening and practicing clear, concise, and empathetic interactions.

Market Knowledge: It requires a deep understanding of the real estate market, including current trends, property values, and neighborhood dynamics, is essential. This knowledge allows you to provide accurate advice and make informed decisions, which in turn builds credibility with clients. For those starting out, immerse yourself in learning everything you can about the market. Attend seminars, read industry publications, and network with experienced professionals. Staying informed and continuously educating yourself will set you apart as a knowledgeable and reliable agent.

In terms of advice, I’d say that building a successful career in real estate is a marathon, not a sprint. Focus on developing these core skills and qualities, and always be open to learning and growing. Surround yourself with mentors and peers who can offer guidance and support, and don’t be afraid to take risks and step out of your comfort zone. With dedication and the right mindset, you can achieve great success in this dynamic industry.

I also believe wholeheartedly in affirmations every morning: Jason Bergman the # 1 real estate agent in Pasadena, is something I speak into existence every morning.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?
Start with Why by Simon Sinek has been incredibly influential in shaping my approach to real estate and business in general. Here are some of the most valuable takeaways from the book:

The Power of Purpose: One of the core messages of Start with Why is the importance of having a clear purpose or “why.” This purpose drives everything you do and sets the foundation for your business. My Why is to help families build wealth through Real Estate. Understanding and articulating my purpose has given my work more meaning and direction, and it resonates deeply with my clients and my team.

Inspiring Leadership: Throughout the book, Sinek emphasizes that great leaders inspire action by communicating their “why.” This has taught me that leading with purpose and passion can significantly impact my team’s motivation and performance. By consistently sharing my vision and values, I’ve been able to foster a more engaged and committed team. For those early in their careers, I recommend focusing on why you do what you do and using that to inspire and lead others.

Building Trust and Loyalty: The book highlights that when people believe in your “why,” they are more likely to trust and remain loyal to you. In real estate, trust is paramount. Clients need to feel confident that you have their best interests at heart. By consistently aligning my actions with my purpose and values, I’ve been able to build stronger, more trusting relationships with clients. Newcomers should focus on authenticity and integrity in their interactions, ensuring that their actions always reflect their core beliefs and values.

Differentiation in a Competitive Market: In a crowded industry like real estate, having a clear “why” helps differentiate you from others. It’s not just about what you do but why you do it. This unique approach can make you stand out to potential clients and partners. For those starting out, find what makes you passionate about your work and use that to carve out your niche in the market.

Consistency and Clarity: Sinek also talks about the importance of consistency and clarity in communicating your “why.” This has reinforced the need to be clear and consistent in my messaging, whether it’s through marketing materials, client interactions, or team communications. Consistency builds credibility and trust over time. For those early in their journey, make sure your “why” is clearly articulated and consistently communicated across all aspects of your business.

Overall, Start with Why has been my guide in how I approach my business, leadership, and client relationships. It has reinforced the importance of purpose-driven work and the profound impact it can have on success and fulfillment.
