About Jordan Smith

Jordan Smith | Principal Broker of Local Utah Realty

Jordan Smith is the Principal Broker of Local Utah Realty, a licensed General Contractor, real estate investor, and one of Northern Utah's most active real estate professionals. He represents home buyers and sellers throughout Weber, Davis, Box Elder, and Salt Lake Counties.

In 2025 alone, Jordan closed 104 homes representing $46.1 million in real estate sales. Throughout his career, he has represented buyers and sellers across hundreds of transactions totaling approximately $200 million in residential real estate sales.

Jordan specializes in buyer representation, home sales, first-time homebuyers, VA and military buyers, relocation, investment properties, and real estate negotiation throughout Northern Utah, including Ogden, South Ogden, North Ogden, Washington Terrace, Riverdale, Roy, West Haven, Layton, Clearfield, Clinton, Syracuse, West Point, Kaysville, and surrounding communities.

A Real Estate Broker Who Understands the House — Not Just the Transaction

One of Jordan's biggest differentiators is his extensive construction and real estate investment experience.

In addition to serving as Principal Broker of Local Utah Realty, Jordan is a licensed General Contractor and has personally renovated, invested in, and flipped numerous homes throughout Northern Utah.

That experience gives his clients another level of perspective when evaluating a property. During showings and inspections, Jordan looks beyond finishes and square footage to help clients recognize potential concerns involving roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, water intrusion, sewer systems, structural issues, and other potentially expensive components of a home.

For buyers, that knowledge can help identify problems before purchasing and provide valuable leverage during inspection and due diligence negotiations.

For sellers, it helps determine which improvements are worth making before listing—and which ones are unlikely to produce a meaningful return.

Experienced Negotiation & Buyer Representation

Jordan has built much of his real estate business representing buyers and believes a buyer's agent should do considerably more than schedule showings and write an offer.

His approach focuses on understanding property value, analyzing comparable sales, identifying potential problems, structuring competitive offers, negotiating seller concessions and repairs, navigating inspections and appraisals, and protecting his clients throughout the transaction.

Jordan has extensive experience working with first-time homebuyers, VA buyers, and military families, including those relocating to and from Hill Air Force Base.

Whether negotiating purchase price, seller-paid closing costs, inspection items, repairs, appraisal issues, or other contract terms, Jordan's goal is simple: aggressively represent his clients' interests while helping them make informed financial decisions.

Business, Investment & Construction Experience

Jordan's professional background is unusual for a real estate broker.

Before entering real estate full-time, Jordan attended the Penn State College of Medicine before ultimately deciding that his future was in business, entrepreneurship, and real estate.

He later spent approximately a decade with Funded Today, working in sales and crowdfunding. During his time with the company, Funded Today worked with thousands of crowdfunding campaigns and helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for entrepreneurs and businesses around the world.

Jordan is also an active real estate investor and Airbnb Superhost. He has owned and operated both long-term and short-term rental properties and has personally renovated and flipped homes throughout Northern Utah. His hands-on experience as an investor, contractor, landlord, and short-term rental operator gives him a practical understanding of real estate that extends well beyond the sales transaction.

That combination of brokerage, investing, construction, property management, sales, marketing, and negotiation experience shapes the way Jordan advises his clients today.

Local Utah Realty

As Principal Broker of Local Utah Realty, Jordan leads a Northern Utah brokerage focused on knowledgeable, responsive, and aggressive representation for buyers and sellers.

The brokerage's philosophy is built around education rather than pressure. Buying or selling a home is often one of the largest financial transactions a person will make, and Jordan believes clients deserve to understand not only what they are doing, but why.

For Jordan, successful representation isn't simply getting a transaction closed. It's helping clients make decisions that serve their families and their long-term financial goals.
