Jared Harman San Diego REALTOR®, North Park based
San Diego's boots-on-the-ground metro specialist
I sell cool homes for cool people.
I'm Jared Harman, a San Diego REALTOR® based in North Park. I help people buy and sell homes across the metro neighborhoods, from craftsman bungalows and first condos to small investment property. I tour the houses myself and film them uncut, including the parts that are wrong with them.

How I work
What do I do that most agents don't?
I tour the houses and film them uncut, including the parts that are wrong with them. A listing photo is an argument. A walkthrough is evidence.
That footage reaches about 250,000 local people a month, built with no ad spend. It's the entire top of my business. No cold calls, no bought leads, no farming. People find me because they watched me walk through a house.
For buyers, that means I hear about homes before they're listings. For sellers, it means your place gets shown to an actual San Diego audience instead of syndicated into a feed nobody reads.
Services
How can I help?
Roughly half my clients are buying and half are selling.
For buyers
- Buying a home. We start with what you actually want, then we go see things. I attend showings personally.
- First-time buyers. Loans and neighborhoods explained without the jargon, and I'm still around after closing.
- Condos and townhomes. Where the negotiating room shows up most often right now.
- Duplexes, triplexes and ADU lots. Which lots realistically support an ADU, and what older houses tend to hide.
For sellers
- Selling a home. Your place in front of about 250,000 local people a month, with no ad spend.
- Buying and selling at the same time. Contingent offers, and how to line up both sides without getting stuck in between.
- Luxury homes. Through the eXp Luxury Division, on homes up to $3,000,000.

Working with me
What does working with me look like?
Buying and selling are different jobs, so here's each one.
If you're buying
- We talk first. About what you actually want, not what you think you should want.
- You get First Look. Hand-picked listings every week, plus coming-soon homes when the listing agent lets me share them early.
- We tour. I attend showings personally. I toured more than 800 homes in 2025, so I can usually tell you on the way out what's a real deal and what's a problem.
- We negotiate. About $990,000 in credits and price reductions for my clients in the last 12 months.
- I stay in touch. Reviews keep bringing this one up. I'm still around after closing, for the next question or the next house.
Two guarantees come with it: the No Handcuffs Guarantee and the We-Don't-Quit Guarantee. See everything in Cool Homes Club™.
If you're selling
- You get a Net Number. What you'd actually walk away with after costs, before you commit to anything. Back in 24 hours.
- We plan the sale. Price, timing, and if you're buying your next place too, how to line both up.
- Your home gets seen. I film it and put it in front of about 250,000 local people a month, organically, with no ad spend.
- Showings stay in good hands. I attend showings personally. Nobody walks your buyers through your home seeing it for the first time.
- We close, and I stay in touch. I handle the offers and the back and forth through closing, and I'm still around after.
The No Handcuffs Guarantee covers sellers too. See everything in The Spotlight System™.

Case studies
What does that look like in a real deal?
Can I buy my next San Diego condo before I sell the one I am in?
Her contingency had 21 days on it, and her place was priced above the last sale in its building. A four-month lease on the new condo kept the deal alive, and a lending rule the other side missed saved her $4,350 at closing.
Question
How do I choose a real estate agent in North Park?
The numbers to ask every agent for, and the question almost no buyer asks.
Case study
How my clients got a bay-view Bankers Hill condo for $30,000 under asking
Three bedrooms, about 1,500 square feet, bay views. Dated listing photos kept it sitting, we offered $30,000 under the $800,000 ask, and they closed in April 2026 with HVAC credits.
Case study
How first-time buyers got a $650,000 Chula Vista townhome for $590,000
A stalled search, a townhome that had sat a long time, and an offer well under asking. Closed November 2025 with $17,000 in credits and repairs covered.

Reviews
What do people say about working with me?
Straight from my Google profile, word for word. All 46 are five stars, a 5.0 rating. Six to start here, and every one on the reviews page, sorted by buyers and sellers.
I have had the great opportunity to work with Jared twice now—once representing me as a buyer and once as a seller. He recently managed my very complicated sale with grace and composure. He was extremely empathetic and helpful when I needed it most. He’s not just an everyday agent—he’s an extraordinary person who happens to be an agent. He follows up, crosses all the t’s and makes sure his clients are 110% satisfied!
Jared is honestly the best realtor I’ve worked with. He really knows the market, and he made the whole process feel super easy, coordinating and scheduling appointments and inspections. He understood what I was looking for and showed me exactly what I was looking for. I’ve bought a few places before, but this was by far the smoothest experience thanks to him. Highly recommend if you need a realtor in SD!
My process was anything but traditional and Jared was willing to take on my (almost improbable) ideas. He stayed consistent and forthcoming. Communication was great and he was realistic with expectations, which helped keep my starry eyes somewhat out of the clouds. I came in ready with a preapproval and it was an interesting process selling and buying in tandem. He has great connections for movers, contractors, and miscellaneous services. I’m really glad I found him through social media. I will be keeping his contact for future referrals and looking forward to watching his portfolio grow! I learned a lot this time around buying a home and I’m glad I was with such a patient and creative agent.
First-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and Jared was incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire process. He respected my busy schedule and still took the time to explain everything clearly. He made sure I understood each step and the potential impacts of every decision. I was even out of town and he made sure to check in and make sure we stayed on track to closing. The great customer service didn’t stop there, after I had moved into my home, Jared continued to be available to answer my questions and provide support! I truly appreciate his professionalism and genuine care that I am satisfied with this big purchase. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy!!
We had such an amazing experience working with Jared for our first time buying a home! From getting to know each other, to his amazing ability to find listings that fit our wants/needs, we could tell he put so much work and heart into the process! When it came down to making offers, Jared’s skill in selling us and our story to the sellers definitely helped us get into the house we wanted with little to no competition! We can’t recommend Jared enough if you’re looking to buy a home in the San Diego area!
Jared was always available for questions. Listened to my concerns and kept me updated on the home selling process. Will definitely use him again in the future when we decide to buy again!
About me
Who is Jared Harman?
I sell cool homes for cool people in San Diego. That sounds like a slogan. It's actually a filter. I work with people who have taste and a plan, in the neighborhoods I know block by block.
I got here sideways. I left UC Davis after my freshman year studying chemical engineering, came home, and talked my way into a job stringing rackets at Balboa Tennis Club. I coached there for five years. One of my students, a property manager, is the reason I got my license in 2022.
I've sold $21.5M across 20 transactions in the two years through September 2026, from a $355,000 first home to a $3,000,000 one. My average sale price so far in 2026 is $1,320,000. I split my time about evenly between buyers and sellers, and I'm a two-time nominee for San Diego Metro Agent of the Year.

Buying and selling
Can buyers still negotiate in San Diego right now?
In many cases, yes, depending on the neighborhood and property type. Condos are where negotiating room shows up most often. In the 12 months through September 2026, I negotiated about $990,000 in credits and price reductions for clients.
Do you work with first-time home buyers?
Yes, a lot of them. First-time buyers write many of my Google reviews, and the thing they bring up is that I explained loans and neighborhoods without the jargon and stayed around after closing. In one Chula Vista purchase, first-time buyers got a townhome listed at $650,000 for $590,000, with $17,000 in credits and repairs covered. How that one came together.
Can you tell me what I would walk away with if I sold?
Yes. It is called a Net Number: what you would actually take home from selling, after your loan payoff, commissions, closing costs and likely repairs. I research it by hand and email it to you within 24 hours. Get your Net Number.
