Jonathan Guzman
Jonathan began his professional journey in the fast-paced world of Finance in New York City, where he quickly established himself with his relentless drive and sharp business acumen. He was able to accumulate several promotions within Lloyds Banking Group with his ability to quickly adapt on his feet and thrive in these environments. But despite his success, he felt a deeper calling — one that led him to pivot into the world of Real Estate, where his entrepreneurial spirit could truly flourish.
That pivot began with the launch of Elite Property Investments in 2015, a home re-development company focused on acquiring, renovating, and reselling properties for profit. From day one, Jonathan approached the business with the vision to scale. Projects included single & multi-family homes as well as condo conversions, turning these underutilized assets into high-value properties and reinvigorating neighborhoods along the way.
As he steadily expanded his footprint, Jonathan diversified his portfolio and ventured into Land Development-Entitlement and Wholesaling, consistently demonstrating an ability to spot and capitalize on unique market opportunities. He became a staple at local auctions and sheriff sales. His natural ability to identify value, mitigate risk through research and analytics while executing these complex deals accelerated his growth and expanded his presence in the Industry.
In parallel, Jonathan built his reputation on the Brokerage side with NJR Group, a Boutique Real Estate firm where they specialized in Commercial Real Estate all along the Gold Coast in Bergen & Hudson County, NJ. Here, he combined his Investment expertise with Brokerage services, offering clients a unique edge when navigating both traditional and complex transactions. Whether it was Residential, Commercial, Land Acquisition & Entitlement, or Land Development, he proved time and again that he could close deals others couldn’t. In 2020, he then transitioned to EXP Realty, with the aim of growing a Residential team. He led The Guzman Group for 5 years.
Jonathan was able to leverage his strong client relationships to seamlessly enter the Luxury Real Estate market by his ability to consistently execute. He maintains that his ability to leverage his digital marketing expertise offers an unmatched approach in getting luxury homes sold. He believes in consistent communication and keeping his clients informed on every step in the transaction from start to finish. His clients, impressed by his professionalism and execution in earlier transactions, began referring him to other high-net-worth individuals seeking premium service. By exceeding expectations, he quickly established himself as a go-to advisor in the high-end market.
He has also made a significant impact among some of the top REALTORS® across the country by helping them scale their Real Estate business with his innovative approach and proven strategies. Backed by a deep understanding of digital marketing and brand positioning, he equips agents with the modern tools necessary to be effective and grow in today’s competitive market. As a National Real Estate Coach, he has guided hundreds of agents, empowering them to implement his methods and achieve accelerated, sustainable success.
To date, Jonathan has successfully sold over $100 million in Real Estate, a testament to his skill, consistency, and the trust he’s earned in the industry. But what truly sets him apart is his ability to execute at the highest level while delivering unmatched value to clients and partners alike.
Today, he stands as a proven leader in Real Estate — a Broker, Team Leader/Coach, Investor, and Strategist who brings deep experience, tireless dedication, and a results-driven mindset to everything he does. Recently, Jonathan joined Call It Closed International, Realty as the New Jersey State Broker, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success. He is eager to contribute his extensive skill set to this innovative and rapidly growing Brokerage, with a clear focus on providing strong leadership, strategic growth, and real value to both agents and clients. He is committed to making a lasting impact in the communities he proudly serves across New Jersey. His journey from Wall Street to Main Street is one of calculated ambition and meaningful impact — and he's only just getting started.
