👋 ABOUT ME
I’m Jason Edwards—a real estate agent, Navy veteran, husband, dad, and faith-driven entrepreneur serving Hampton Roads, Virginia.
After 20 years in the Navy, I made the leap into real estate with one mission: to simplify the process for my clients and serve with the same integrity, discipline, and calm leadership I valued in the military.
Today, I specialize in helping military families, first-time buyers, and value-driven sellers navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with confidence and clarity.
I believe in honesty over hype, and education over pressure. Whether you’re navigating a PCS move, buying your first home, or trying to time your sale just right, my goal is the same: make the complex feel simple—and do right by people, every step of the way.
When I’m not helping clients, I’m usually grilling in the backyard, watching a baseball game, or mentoring other agents inside our faith-based group at eXp Realty, the 2:10 Collective.
If you're looking for a trusted advisor—not just a salesperson—I’d love the opportunity to serve you.
