Jason Queen: Raleigh’s Visionary Luxury Real Estate Broker
Jason Queen is not just a real estate broker – he’s a community visionary and a trusted authority in Raleigh’s high-end property market.

Bridging Development and Community in Raleigh’s Market
Jason founded Monarch Realty Co. in 2014 with a mission to bridge the gap between developers, investors, and home buyers and sellers. He believed a brokerage should do more than transact – it should transform neighborhoods and nurture relationships. This vision is evident in every deal he negotiates.
Clients often note that Monarch Realty is one of the most dynamic teams they’ve worked with, thanks to Jason’s multifaceted background. He and his team don’t just list and sell houses; they leverage their experience as marketers, interior designers, historic preservation specialists, and neighborhood developers to maximize each property’s value. The result? Seamless, concierge-level service where clients feel confident their broker can “wear many hats” on their behalf – without them having to manage a dozen different consultants.
Champion of Historic Homes and Luxury Developments
A proud historic preservation advocate, Jason got his start in real estate by revitalizing Raleigh’s heritage properties. In 2010, while earning his graduate degrees, he joined preservation efforts that led to national recognition and leadership roles. This early work honed Jason’s talent for seeing the hidden potential in older buildings—a skill that has benefitted many clients of distinctive historic homes.
Today, he remains deeply engaged in sustainable development and urban growth. Jason’s expertise extends beyond historic properties to include upscale new constructions, investment-grade assets, and luxury estates. Whether it’s a modern penthouse downtown or a century-old estate in Oakwood, Jason instinctively understands a property’s architectural value, financial upside, and emotional appeal—translating that into smart, compelling deals.

Food Hall, now a beloved culinary and community destination. This ambitious $10 million adaptive reuse project reflects Jason’s deep commitment to both innovation and heritage.
Jason also developed The Work Hall, a coworking space designed specifically for real estate professionals.
