Early Roots and Educational Background Hailing from the picturesque foothills of North Carolina in the quaint town of Elkin, Jason McCree Gentry developed a profound appreciation for the built environment from a young age. His journey led him to the thriving city of Charlotte, where he pursued and successfully obtained a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2006. Professional Journey Jason honed his skills by contributing to renowned architecture firms Jenkins • Peer Architects and Perkins+Will, showcasing a dedication to his craft. In 2009, he expanded his expertise by obtaining his real estate license, seamlessly combining his architectural knowledge with a deep understanding of the real estate landscape. The Architectural Advantage With a unique blend of architectural insight and real estate acumen, Jason offers clients an unparalleled experience. His ability to envision the alignment of a home with both physical and budgetary requirements is a valuable asset in a market grappling with limited inventory. Jason's proficiency extends to marketing architecturally distinctive homes, whether they are modern marvels or historical treasures. Leadership and Philanthropy Embodying the ethos of giving back, Jason assumed the role of the youngest president in the history of the Canopy REALTOR® Association in 2018. During his tenure, the organization underwent a transformative rebranding, built a cutting-edge 56,000-square-foot LEED Silver headquarters and experienced a substantial 30% membership growth through strategic acquisitions. Jason continues to contribute to the real estate community by serving the National Association of REALTORS® and North Carolina REALTORS®. Personal Pursuits Away from his professional commitments, Jason finds solace in his beach home in Charleston, South Carolina, as an esteemed member of the Kiawah Island Club. His diverse interests include global travel, appreciation of fine wines and dining, bourbon, biking, volleyball and spending quality time with friends and family.
