About Jas:

Toronto native, Jas Takhar, has been in the sales and service industry for over 26 years. Soon after deciding to try his hand in real estate, he co-founded REC Canada, and in the course of 16 years, has successfully propelled his team to the top 3 position in Canada under Royal LePage in 2020.

With 54 realtors and 11 support staff, the team advises and assists over 625 buyers, sellers and investors, yearly, across the Greater Toronto Area, resulting in a total of over $1.6B in transactions. Jas’ area of expertise is in helping investors build out their real estate portfolios. Wanting to share his knowledge and experience with the masses, he wrote a book titled Real Estate Intelligence, which teaches others how to buy or sell real estate on their own.

Furthering his pursuit to educate and motivate, he now hosts one of the top business podcasts in the country, the Jas Takhar Podcast–found on all podcast platforms– here he interviews guests who share their success stories on real estate investing, entrepreneurship and leadership. His hope is to provide inspiring content to aid others in removing the friction from their own life, in order to help them get from where they are to where they want to be. After gaining so much from the community he was accepted in, Jas decided to sit down and start a new company called From The Ground Up Media, better known as FTGU. As the co-founder Jas has created a pathway for new real estate agents to step foot into the content creation space. Showing new agents how they can start producing content and even their own podcasts!
