At the early age of 20, Jay Ohm embarked on his business career as a retail business entrepreneur while going to school at the University of Washington. After graduating college, he sold both retail businesses and transitioned into hotel ownership and operations. After 16 years in the hospitality industry as a multiple franchise hotel owner, he sold his last hotel in March of 2020.

Joining Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty as a global consultant was a seamless transition for Jay, as his core values of integrity and service are an exact match with the brand. Jay’s tenacity, determination, and negotiation skills have awarded him Top Performer status for the past 3 years!

As an experienced franchise owner, Jay is a knowledgeable resource for anyone considering if franchise ownership is right for them. When he isn’t helping people find the right business opportunity or homes, there’s a good chance he’s spending time with this family or on the golf course!
