Success Stories

Jon Keller | Associate Broker, President

Jon Keller’s enthusiasm and dedication to property management began when he lived in student housing while attending the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Just shortly after Keller earned his Bachelor of Arts in English from the University, J. Keller Properties was born. His previous experience working for a large property management firm and pursuit of his real estate career was the perfect recipe for the development of his own management firm. J. Keller Properties has earned the respect and reputation of a premier property management company and real estate brokerage since 2008 in large part to Keller’s track record and success. Keller is a licensed Associate Broker in the state of Michigan and oversees the Rentals, Real Estate and Investments divisions of J. Keller Properties. Keller and wife Lizzie have started the J Keller Foundation which focuses on helping the community in which they both grew up. Keller also serves as the 2024 President of the Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors. Contact Jon Keller.
