Jason Betsill / Licensed Broker

Jason is from a third generation building family and eight generations of Betsill carpenters.  The Betsill family settled in Fayette County Georgia in the late 1800's and was one of the original charter families of the County.  His grandfather, Alex, was a custom home builder in the Metro Atlanta area in the Early 1960's where he constructed numerous homes throughout the area.  He was a true "craftsman" in the truest sense of the word.  His father, Jeff, was always on job sites with Alex, learning quality construction in early childhood.  As Jeff got older, he spent many years working alongside his father (Jason's grandfather).  They would not simply oversee the construction of the job site through scheduling of subcontractors and suppliers.  They would physically perform many of the aspects of construction with their own hands.  This included many facets such as stacking blocks for the foundation walls, framing and roofing the home as well as running electrical, plumbing, interior wood trim, etc. 

   From the time Jason could walk,  he too was on job sites with his father and grandfather.  As he got older, he began to work in construction also.  Jason was alongside his father building homes with their own hands and learning about how to do things "the right way" which they lovingly referred to as "the Betsill way".  Jason learned each facet of construction, and what to look for during construction to ensure the home was built in a quality manner.  Jason, Jeff & Alex spent many summers setting slab form boards, setting walls, rafters, decking roofs, installing windows, installing trimwork, etc.   Many times Jason would attend school during the day, go to football practice after school, and then come home to help drive nails on the family home until dark.  They spent many summers building barns, sheds, houses, etc.  During high school, Jason performed warranty and general framing on homes built for sale by the family. 

   After leaving High School, Jason attended the State University of West Georgia and graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a minor in Computer Science.  Upon graduating from college, he began full time work in construction as a general contractor (home builder).  In the past eleven years Jason and Jeff have constructed several hundred homes in the Metro Atlanta area as well as a few dozen commercial buildings and several residential developments.  In 2000, Jason obtained his Georgia Real Estate License and in 2003 he obtained a Georgia Real Estate Broker's License. He also owns and operates Icon Realty, Inc. (www.iconrealtyinc.com)

Beginning in 2016 Jason began acquiring land in the metro market for holding or developing into residential neighborhoods. Since that time he has acquired some 3,000 acres in various tracts and taken those tracts through the approval processes with the local jurisdiction to create beautiful neighborhoods. He has the knowledge to envision what the final neighborhood would look like, as well as the resources and contacts to fully develop the land to include streets, curbing, storm water controls, amenities, etc. With his Real Estate Broker’s license, Jason can assist in land planning and development services and with the builder contact database obtained from 20+ years of involvement in the metro Atlanta Market, he can effectively market the project as well.

If you have property you have a tract you would like to sale, please email Jason at jbetsillusa@msn.com.
