Jeremy Pierce | Real Estate Advisor | Berkshire Hathaway Home Services
Jeremy “Jae” Pierce, a real estate advisor with Berkshire Hathaway and the leader of the dynamic team known as The Advisory, has carved a remarkable path in the real estate industry. With a background rooted in resilience, creativity, and connection, Jeremy has risen to become one of Arizona’s most promising real estate professionals. His journey, from the vibrant streets of New Orleans to his thriving career in Arizona, is a testament to determination and the power of following one’s passion. At EliteX, we are proud to have Jeremy Pierce as part of the edition: 20 under 40: Influential and Rising Leaders of 2024.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Jeremy grew up immersed in a culture rich with history and community. His early years taught him the value of connection, resilience, and perseverance—qualities that continue to define his professional approach. After moving to Arizona in 2005, he laid the foundation for his future endeavors. Interestingly, Jeremy’s career didn’t begin in real estate. Before stepping into the world of property, he had a successful stint in the music industry, working with legendary artists such as DMX, Nate Dogg, and E-40. This chapter of his life honed his skills in networking, branding, and creative thinking—tools that would later prove invaluable in real estate. Over the past five years, Jeremy has achieved numerous milestones. He was named to WeSERV’s 2023 Top 40 Under 40 and has consistently earned a spot in Berkshire Hathaway’s President’s Circle for his outstanding sales achievements. But for Jeremy, the accolades are secondary to his mission of helping clients navigate the complexities of buying and selling homes, particularly in the luxury and multifamily markets.
Outside of his professional life, Jeremy is a devoted father to his two daughters, Trinity and Londyn. He is also passionate about working out, traveling, and inspiring others to unlock their potential. As he puts it, “When we let our own light shine, we empower others to do the same.” Jeremy’s fascination with real estate began during his childhood. He vividly recalls driving through neighborhoods and marveling at beautiful homes, wondering about the journey to attain such properties. This early curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion for real estate. Jeremy is particularly drawn to the stories behind the homes and the impact of homeownership on people’s lives. He finds immense fulfillment in helping clients achieve their dreams—whether it’s purchasing their dream home or making smart investment decisions. For Jeremy, real estate isn’t just about transactions; it’s about being part of life-changing moments.
“In life, we can all make excuses, but excuses never produce results.”
As a young leader, Jeremy’s biggest challenge has been understanding how to motivate his team effectively. He quickly realized that not everyone is driven by the same factors that inspire him. To address this, Jeremy has focused on active listening and building strong personal connections with his team members. By understanding their individual goals, strengths, and struggles, he has created an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. This process has made Jeremy a more empathetic and effective leader, one who prioritizes the growth and success of his team.
When asked about his greatest mentor, Jeremy doesn’t hesitate to credit his father. Watching his dad lead with unmatched skill and dedication has profoundly shaped Jeremy’s own leadership style. “My dad’s example constantly pushes me to be better and to lead with the same level of excellence,” Jeremy shares. This foundation of mentorship has not only influenced his career but also instilled in him a desire to inspire others, much like his father did for him.
Among Jeremy’s many achievements, being recognized as one of the Top 40 Under 40 in Arizona holds a special place in his heart. This honor came at a pivotal moment when Jeremy was second-guessing his abilities. The recognition reminded him of his capabilities and reaffirmed his position as a top performer in the industry. This milestone serves as a constant reminder of his resilience and the importance of perseverance in the face of doubt. Jeremy’s competitive nature is one of his driving forces. He believes in outworking everyone else, focusing on being better than he was yesterday. For Jeremy, growth is a continuous journey, and he measures his success by his ability to improve consistently. This mindset has helped him thrive in the fast-paced world of real estate, where competition is fierce, and staying ahead requires relentless effort.
For Jeremy, effective leadership means leading by example. He believes a true leader is one who stands alongside their team in the trenches, working just as hard as everyone else. This hands-on approach fosters trust, respect, and a sense of shared purpose, all of which are critical to success. Jeremy’s dedication to his team and his willingness to put in the work alongside them have solidified his reputation as a leader who inspires and motivates by action.
Balancing a demanding career with personal life is a challenge Jeremy continues to navigate. Real estate is more than just a profession for him—it’s a passion that often blurs the line between work and leisure. Despite this, Jeremy is learning the importance of stepping back and recharging. He acknowledges that personal time is crucial for long-term success and strives to create a better balance between his professional and personal responsibilities. Jeremy views failures and setbacks as opportunities for growth. In his eyes, challenges are inevitable, but they are also essential for learning and improving. This resilience has allowed Jeremy to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger, both as a person and as a leader.
To stay sharp and continually improve, Jeremy has developed a daily habit of reading at 8:30 a.m. each morning. One of his favorite authors is John C. Maxwell, whose insights on leadership provide valuable guidance. This commitment to self-education helps Jeremy refine his leadership skills and approach each day with clarity and focus. For those just starting in real estate, Jeremy offers straightforward advice: “You will get out what you put in.” He emphasizes the importance of mental resilience and consistency, as the industry can be challenging and unpredictable. Jeremy also encourages newcomers to actively seek opportunities rather than waiting for business to come to them. “Every day is hunting season in this industry,” he advises.
“Life will throw you punches, and it may knock you down, but you never fail if you never quit.”
Looking ahead, Jeremy envisions expanding his team and venturing into luxury and commercial development. Inspired by a dream his aunt once shared, he is determined to build a real estate empire. With a clear focus and unwavering determination, Jeremy is steadily working toward this goal, one brick at a time. As a rising leader, Jeremy hopes his legacy will be defined by his ability to deliver results. He wants to be remembered as someone who overcame challenges, made things happen, and consistently provided value to his clients, team, and family. For Jeremy, success isn’t about excuses—it’s about outcomes. His dedication to producing results and pushing through obstacles is the cornerstone of his professional and personal philosophy.
