In his expanded role, Abrams will lead the company’s global learning strategy and enterprise-wide initiatives that further strengthen the company’s position as the people development company where entrepreneurs thrive.

“Jason has dedicated his career to helping agents and broker owners build businesses worth owning and lives worth living,” said Chris Czarnecki, CEO and president, KW. “He understands that in order to live your best life, you must give your best effort to the parts that matter most.”

“To do that, you need best practices paired with proven models and systems,” said Czarnecki. “This new role expands his ability to drive that impact at scale.”

Abrams’ appointment follows a period of significant momentum and industry recognition. In 2026, Abrams was recognized as a RIS Media Real Estate Newsmaker and an Inman News Marketing All-Star. Housing Wire also recognized him as a 2025 Marketing Leader.

Over the past two years, Abrams has also helped elevate KW’s education platform through high-impact initiatives, including as the host of the Millionaire Real Estate Agent (MREA) Podcast, which has surpassed 1.8 million downloads and was named the No. 1 real estate podcast in 2026 by Housing Wire.

Through the MREA Podcast, Abrams has translated time-tested business models into practical, real-world strategies for agents, reinforcing KW’s position as a leader in education-driven growth.

“Everything we do starts with one simple idea, it’s not about the money, it's about being the best you can be," said Abrams. “Our thinking is simple: no one succeeds alone, and people have lived before you; model their success, learn from their failures, and take BOLD action. When we align learning, strategy, and technology around that mission, we unlock the best version of our industry and lives.”

A 25-year veteran of KW, Abrams has served as an operating principal, team leader, MAPS coach, and founding board member of KW Next Gen. He is a mega-agent business owner whose teams have been recognized by REAL Trends, and he previously gained national recognition for his work with professional athletes and for hosting HGTV’s Scoring the Deal.

“At KW, we don’t chase trends; we teach universal truths, which is why the MREA book is even more relevant today than the day it was written,” said Abrams. “We’re just getting started.”
