He was recently recognized as the Best Real Estate Agent in the United States by the distinguished International Property Awards and is consistently identified as a leading agent in Los Angeles by the Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety in their annual lists. Jason also receives significant attention within the real estate community and beyond as a star of two hit Netflix shows, Selling Sunset and Selling the OC, featuring his brokerage and agents as they sell luxury homes to their affluent and celebrity clients.

After law school, Jason joined the Los Angeles office of the international law firm O’Melveny & Myers where he represented a broad range of corporate clients including the former CEO of Enron Corporation in a multi-billion dollar civil class action as well as the widely publicized Enron criminal trial.

Following a successful career in law, including a prominent victory at the United States Supreme Court, Jason left his legal practice to follow five generations of family real estate tradition that began in 1889 when his great-great-grandfather started one of the City’s first real estate companies. He initially joined Coldwell Banker and quickly established himself as one of the Nation’s leading realtors – their team was recognized as the #1 Real Estate Team on the West Coast. After only three years in the business, Jason founded The Oppenheim Group brokerage in West Hollywood at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Sunset Plaza Dr., and he has recently expanded with new offices in Newport Beach, San Diego, and Cabo San Lucas.
