Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Gonzalez.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hi, I’m Jason Gonzalez, a local realtor with Coldwell Banker, proudly serving the Twin Cities and surrounding communities. My journey into real estate wasn’t born from a desire to chase sales—it came from a lifelong passion for helping people.
Before stepping into the world of real estate, I spent years running a small family residential cleaning business. That experience gave me a rare behind-the-scenes look at what home really means. I walked through beautiful houses every day, connecting with families, witnessing their routines, and helping them take care of one of their most important investments. It was there—in the quiet of everyday spaces—that I discovered my calling.
With a background in ethical sales, customer service, and small business ownership, transitioning into real estate felt like a natural next step. But from the beginning, I knew I wanted my business to mean something more. I wanted each transaction to carry purpose beyond the closing table.
That’s how purposeful real estate became the heart of my brand.
For every home I help buy or sell, I donate a portion of my proceeds to an underfunded school of my client’s choice. Whether it’s PTA programs, after-school activities, booster clubs, or classroom supplies, my mission is to ease the financial burden on teachers and help all kids thrive, regardless of background. I believe that when we invest in schools and youth, we invest in the future of our neighborhoods.
My clients aren’t just buying or selling homes, they’re helping build stronger communities. It’s a collaborative partnership rooted in trust, service, and shared impact.
Over the last 4 years full-time, I’ve had the honor of guiding families, investors, and first-time homebuyers through some of the biggest decisions of their lives. My experience spans luxury homes, new construction, townhomes and condos, and investment properties. I also offer property management services and maintain a trusted network of industry professionals to support my clients at every step.
What sets me apart isn’t just market knowledge—it’s the way I show up for my clients and my community. Whether I’m helping a buyer find their perfect home, assisting an investor in expanding their portfolio, or showing up to sponsor a youth fundraiser, I believe relationships are everything. I’m not here for a transaction—I’m here for the long haul.
If you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest—and make a meaningful difference while doing it—I’d love to connect.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
In many ways, I consider my journey a blessing. I’ve had the privilege of crossing paths with industry veterans—people who didn’t just succeed, but who were generous enough to take me under their wing. Their mentorship gave me not only the tools to grow, but the wisdom to stay grounded. That kind of guidance isn’t something you can buy or fake—it’s earned through connection, consistency, and showing up every single day with the right heart.
But no, it hasn’t always been smooth. Real estate, like life, comes with its share of uncertainty—deals fall apart, markets shift, and personal doubts creep in when you’re building something from the ground up. There were seasons when I questioned if I was doing enough, if I was on the right path, or if the sacrifices—late nights, missed family moments, and financial risk—would truly pay off.
The truth is, the hardest part wasn’t the work. It was the belief I had to hold onto through the quiet moments when results weren’t immediate. But I learned to trust the process and surround myself with people who reminded me of my purpose. And every challenge I overcame gave me a deeper understanding of what my clients go through—because I’ve been there too.
What keeps me going—what keeps my heart full—is God, my family, and the close friends who’ve supported me every step of the way. They’re my foundation, my compass, and my constant reminder of what really matters.
Today, I bring that lived experience into every transaction. I don’t just offer real estate advice—I offer a roadmap, compassion, and strategy rooted in real wins and real setbacks. And that’s why I love what I do. I get to pay forward what others once did for me—and that purpose is what keeps me moving forward.
As you know, we’re big fans of Coldwell Banker . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At the core of my business is a simple but powerful principle: results matter. Real estate is personal—behind every transaction is a real person or family navigating a major life decision. I take that seriously. What drives me every day isn’t just closing deals it’s making sure my clients walk away knowing they were guided, protected, and advocated for through every step. I thrive in complexity and pride myself on finding solutions that create the best possible outcome, no matter the circumstances.
I specialize in existing home sales, new construction, investment properties, condos, and providing exceptional, hands-on customer service. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or looking to sell your home and upgrade, I bring strategy, market expertise, and clear communication to the table. I don’t just want your business, I want to earn your trust for life.
What sets me apart is not just what I do, but how I do it. My brand is rooted in professionalism, high standards, and community. I’m proud to be part of a culture that believes in lifting others up—where we approach challenges with a mindset focused on solutions, not stress. That positive, supportive energy flows into every client interaction and every deal I touch.
But what I’m most proud of, beyond the listings and negotiations, is the impact. With every home I help buy or sell, I give back a portion of my commission to an underfunded school of my client’s choice. It’s my way of turning real estate into something greater: investing in our youth and our communities.
So if you’re looking for more than just a transaction, if you want a true partner, advocate, and someone who understands both the emotional and financial sides of real estate, I’d love to connect.
What’s next?
My vision for the future is to continue building a highly recognized, trusted real estate brand in the Twin Cities, one that’s known not just for results, but for the way we do business. I’m focused on creating a boutique-style experience where every client feels seen, heard, and supported from the very first conversation to long after the closing table. I want people to know that when they work with me, they’re not just another transaction—they’re part of something greater.
A big part of that “something greater” is continuing to grow my initiative of giving back to underfunded schools. I believe real estate can be a powerful tool for reinvesting in our communities, and I plan to expand the impact of that mission as my business grows.
Personally, my plan is simple: to enjoy this life to the fullest with family, friends, and the people I care about most. I’ve learned that success isn’t just about how many homes you sell, it’s about how much peace, connection, and purpose you build along the way.
