About Jeb
Jeb Smith has sold Southern California real estate for more than 20 years (450+ homes closed, over $400 million in real estate) as a licensed broker in Huntington Beach who holds his GRI and ABR designations. RealTrends ranked him in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide in 2025, and his market commentary has been featured in CNET, Money, and Fortune. Away from the closing table, he has built a following of 130,000+ on YouTube teaching buyers and sellers how the market actually works.
He and Josh first met through CrossFit back in 2008, started trading mortgage-and-real-estate takes on Jeb's weekly live shows, and eventually made it official as a podcast. His advice runs against the usual sales script: do not fall in love with a house until the keys are in your hand, and the goal is never to talk you into buying. It is to give you what you need to make the right call for your situation, even when that call is "wait."
Jeb's rule
Don't fall in love with a house until the keys are in your hand.
