ABOUT US
Jon Masuga is the owner and sole real estate agent at JEM Realty. Jon grew up in Franklin Park, went to school at North Allegheny and attended Penn State University. He now lives with his wife Amanda and his two children Jack and Serafina in Cranberry Twp.
Starting out as an intern for a real estate group in college, Jon has accumulated over 13 years in different positions in real estate, majority of which involved being a Realtor at various big name brokerages. Most recently, Jon was a Sales Representative for NVR home builders (Heartland Homes/Ryan Homes) for 5 years where he sold over 100 new construction homes of all shapes and sizes, ranging from $250,000 to over $1,000,000. In that time, Jon would meet with 4-5 buyers a day and learn about their wants, needs and struggles in the search to find their new home. When COVID hit Jon realized that the nature of real estate was changing forever, and being part of a large corporation would not allow him the flexibility to always do right by the client.
Sensing the enormous change in Pittsburgh real estate with limited inventory and rising prices, Jon saw an opportunity to start a brokerage that acted as a Fiduciary to the client instead of just trying to get their business anyway possible. Jon aims to build his brand around eliminating all the things people hate about traditional brokerages like binding contracts, random fees, minimum commissions or a big team where you can get lost in the shuffle.
Jon has built a trusted network of real estate professionals including lenders, title companies, real estate attorneys, new construction sales reps, investors and an most of all an affiliated construction team to deliver real value to all his clients. Jon owns and invests in the markets you’re already looking so he can relate to what you’re going through in your search first hand. Whether you’re selling your home, finding your next or looking to start into the world of investing, JEM Realty has it all in one place.

“I’m currently looking to move back to Pittsburgh after being away for almost a decade, Jon’s knowledge of both the resale and especially new construction markets got me up to speed instantly. I had a hard time sorting through all the information about each new construction community, but Jon was able to compile all the details I needed to know and more importantly provide some real insider insight from his time in new construction and his personal relationships across every builder I was considering”
