Jared Rutherford
Real estate is personal — and Jared’s mission is to do whatever it takes to exceed expectations with a servant’s heart.
As the CEO and Broker Associate of The Rutherford Group at Keller Williams Tampa Properties, Jared leads the #1 producing team in the brokerage and ranks among the top 1% of agents nationwide. With more than 20 years in the industry and nearly $300 million in lifetime sales, he brings clarity, strategy, and confidence to buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Tampa Bay.
Jared’s expertise spans luxury homes, waterfront properties, relocation, new construction, investment homes, and vacation rentals. Known for his deep local market knowledge across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties, he combines strong negotiation skills, data-driven pricing and marketing, and the full support of a high-performing, full-service team to deliver exceptional results from contract to close.
A visionary leader, Jared has successfully built and led multiple businesses, including a title company and a portfolio of investment properties. His background in mortgages, title insurance, and advanced negotiation strategies makes him a trusted resource for clients at every stage of their real estate journey.
Jared’s commitment to service began at age 19 as a firefighter with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue. Today, he continues to serve the community and beyond through his work with Convoy of Hope, modeling servant leadership in both business and life.
Outside of real estate, Jared is a father to four “world changers” — Brayden, Jackson, Landon, and Addison. He loves traveling, golfing, fishing, cheering on University of Michigan sports (Go Blue!), enjoying Tampa Bay’s restaurants and beaches, and has a well-known passion for Christmas, sushi, and watches.
If you’re looking for a responsive, knowledgeable agent and leader who genuinely cares about people and their goals, Jared is ready to help.
