When Real Estate Broker, Jon Shehan, established Metro City Realty and Condos, Inc. in 2006, he brought extensive industry knowledge and experience, contributing to his personal success and that of his customers and agents. As a progressive thinker and skilled negotiator with over 30 years’ experience in investing, real estate sales, and marketing, his passion for real estate and natural talent for marketing were evident from an early age.
His career began in Cocoa Beach, Florida at the renowned Ron Jon Surf Shop, the world’s largest surf shop, where he oversaw marketing and advertising. The techniques and strategies he implemented helped increase corporate income to $32 million annually. Today, he applies these visionary principles to his real estate brokerage. He is recognized as the driving force behind Metro City Realty’s internet marketing approach and the customer-first philosophy adopted by the company. With his extensive knowledge of contract law and genuine concern for the success of his customers and agents, Jon Shehan provides unparalleled representation and cutting-edge tools that distinguish his boutique agency from others.
Under his leadership, Metro City Realty has become one of Orlando’s most successful boutique real estate agencies, growing between 32% – 35% annually since its inception and hosting some of the industry’s top agents. In 2007, Jon Shehan initiated a Property Management Division, consistently ranked among the top property management companies in Central Florida. Shortly thereafter, he launched the REO Division, which is following a similar path of success.
Prior to founding Metro City Realty, Jon Shehan owned and operated The JWS Group, a home renovation company where he leveraged his expertise in budgeting, strategy, and investment analysis to build a multi-million dollar operation.
Despite his accomplishments, Jon Shehan attributes his company’s success to the agents of Metro City Realty, rather than his own ethics, leadership abilities, or innovative strategies. He shares fundamental business principles that underpin his company’s achievements: “We never forget that our customer is our number one priority. We work hard, answer our phones, and do whatever it takes to ensure that our customers’ needs are met. We are driven by delivering exceptional personal service, and whenever we represent our customer in a transaction, we treat it as if it were our own transaction,” he explains.
Besides managing Metro City Realty, Jon Shehan actively participates in numerous boards and associations and contributes to the community. He supports the arts and donates a portion of his profits to local charities.
