Casey Jones

Meet Casey Jones, a real estate media pioneer who, for the past 6 years, has been transforming the industry with innovative, fresh ideas. In a market where mediocre quality and low standards were the norm, Casey came in with a different perspective and philosophy. Rather than copy what his competitors were doing, he asked, "what are they NOT doing, that could be a benefit to the consumer?" Armed with this insight, he quickly broke into the market, rapidly building a thriving business and leaving a giant competitor behind.

Even the pandemic couldn't stop Casey's success. While other businesses were laying off their workers, Casey's company grew exponentially, tripling its sales revenue year-over-year, and doubling its sales the following year. Today, his company is one of the most reputable and highly recommended brands in the southeastern Wisconsin area, partnering with some of the biggest names in real estate, including the Wisconsin Realtor Association, Metro MLS, and Real Producers Magazine.
