Jacob Kelso

I didn't start in real estate. I started in Healthcare.

For nearly a decade, I worked as a physical therapist and PT director in the Phoenix metro area. I spent my days helping people recover, rebuild, and get back to the life they loved. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was building the exact skill set that makes me a better real estate agent in Gilbert, Arizona today: patience, attention to detail, the ability to explain complex things clearly, and a genuine desire to help people get to a better place.

In 2022, I earned my Arizona real estate license and joined Realty ONE Group, one of the fastest-growing real estate brokerages in the country. I serve buyers and sellers across the East Valley, including Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and surrounding communities within the greater Phoenix, Arizona area.

What sets me apart from most agents in the East Valley is simple: I'm not just licensed, I'm actually invested. My wife Cass and I have been residential real estate investors in the Phoenix Valley since 2020. We own and manage multiple rental properties across the Valley. That means when you sit down with me to talk about buying a home in Gilbert, selling your home in the East Valley, or building a real estate investment portfolio in Arizona, I'm speaking from real, firsthand experience, not something I read in a textbook.

I specialize in:

Buying and selling homes in Gilbert, AZ and the East Valley First-time home buyers in the Phoenix metro area Residential real estate investment properties in Arizona Relocation to Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, and Scottsdale Home selling strategy and pricing in the East Valley market Real estate wealth building for healthcare professionals That last one matters to me personally. I spent a decade in healthcare. I know what it's like to carry student loan debt while watching the real estate market move without you. I've made it a priority to work with nurses, doctors, PAs, chiropractors, therapists, and other healthcare workers who want to use Arizona real estate to build long-term financial freedom. If that's you, I get it more than most agents ever will.

My approach is direct, thorough, and always honest. I'll never push you toward a decision that doesn't serve you. I'll answer every question, walk you through every option, and give you my real opinion even when it's inconvenient. That's how I was trained in healthcare, and it's exactly how I operate in real estate.

I'm based in Gilbert, Arizona, where I've lived for about 30 years. I know this market, these neighborhoods, and this community from the inside out.
