Jason Michael Oppenheim has redefined what it means to be a real estate mogul in the modern age. As the Founder and President of The Oppenheim Group, he leads one of Southern California’s most prestigious luxury real estate brokerages, with offices spanning West Hollywood, Newport Beach, San Diego, and even Cabo San Lucas. Backed by a sharp legal mind and bolstered by Netflix stardom, Oppenheim’s influence extends from the hills of Hollywood to living rooms across the globe.
From Law to Listings: A Unique Path to Power
Before becoming a powerhouse in luxury real estate, Oppenheim graduated first in his class at UC Berkeley and earned his J.D. from the same university. He went on to practice law at O’Melveny & Myers, where he worked on high-profile cases including Enron litigation and antitrust battles between AMD and Intel, even arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court.
That rigorous legal background now gives him a strategic edge in deal-making, negotiation, and legal complexities in high-value property transactions.
Building an Empire in Southern California
Since founding The Oppenheim Group, Jason has closed over $3.5 billion in sales and currently manages $500 million+ in active listings. From record-breaking estates in Hollywood Hills to oceanfront properties in Orange County, his brokerage has become synonymous with white-glove service and jaw-dropping real estate.
His firm generated $417 million in sales in 2021 alone, consistently growing at over 20% annually. Recognitions have followed: #1 agent in Hollywood Hills/West Hollywood, top rankings in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, and “Best Agent in the U.S.” by the International Property Awards in 2020–2021.
Netflix Fame & Real Estate Pop Culture
Oppenheim is not just a broker, he’s a cultural icon. He stars in and executive produces the Netflix hit series Selling Sunset and its spinoff Selling the OC, which bring real estate drama, designer architecture, and team dynamics to global audiences. The shows have introduced millions to the world of California luxury listings, and Oppenheim’s leadership is at the center of it all.
Despite the glitz, he maintains a grounded approach to real estate: client trust, team performance, and market expertise remain his priorities.
Leadership, Community, and Real Estate Education
A frequent guest lecturer at UCLA and contributor to real estate panels nationwide, Oppenheim bridges entertainment with thought leadership. He has spoken publicly about property law, media strategy, and ethical brokerage practices, offering expert testimony for the National Association of Realtors and others.
He’s also used his platform for good: donating to first responders during California wildfires and supporting Food on Foot, a Los Angeles nonprofit helping unhoused residents rebuild their lives.
“Our specialty is our skill set and the motivation of our employees,” Oppenheim shared in a recent interview, reflecting his team-first approach.
The Brand Behind the Man
With a digital footprint that includes @jasonoppenheim on LinkedIn and X, a highly trafficked Oppenheim Group website (ogroup.com), and features in People, WSJ, and Business Insider, Oppenheim has created a brand that is part real estate, part media, part movement.
His listings remain among the most viewed in California, and his Emmy-nominated shows continue to fuel global interest in the lifestyle of LA’s elite.
“On our birthday…I was born at 1:17pm… then Brett came… after I made sure everything was cool,” he once joked, offering a glimpse into his charismatic and family-oriented persona.
