A Career Built on Opening Doors. A New Chapter Dedicated to Opening Them for Agents.
Jon C. McBride joins Keller Williams Cary as Vice President of Business Development and Broker-in-Charge, bringing more than 30 years of combined experience and a passion for helping agents succeed.
CARY, N.C. — October 30, 2026 — Behind every real estate agent’s ambition is something personal: a family they want to provide for, a business they want to build, a future they believe is possible. For Jon C. McBride, helping agents turn that ambition into meaningful success is the driving force behind his next chapter.
McBride has joined Keller Williams Cary as Vice President of Business Development and Broker-in-Charge (BIC), bringing together his experience in real estate, mortgage banking, and industry leadership with the work he finds most rewarding: serving people and helping them grow.
“An agent’s business represents years of effort, personal sacrifice, and hope for what comes next,” said McBride. “I care deeply about that. I want agents to have someone they can turn to, someone who will listen, give them honest guidance, challenge them when they need it, and help them take the next step with confidence.”
McBride’s path to this role spans more than three decades across the lending and real estate professions. Before focusing full-time on residential real estate, he spent 19 years in mortgage banking, serving as a loan officer, branch manager, and regional manager. His experience extends from helping clients navigate individual transactions to the responsibilities of business leadership.
That background gives his new chapter a practical foundation. He understands the financing questions that can complicate a transaction, the decisions buyers and sellers face, and the preparation required to help people move forward. His service within REALTOR® organizations has also connected him to the broader issues shaping the profession and the communities agents serve.
At Keller Williams Cary, McBride brings that perspective to a deeply personal mission: helping agents build businesses they are proud of and lives those businesses can support.
“Serving agents and helping them become successful is my passion,” McBride said. “Success looks different for each person. For one agent, it may be finding the confidence to build a consistent business. For another, it may be growing a team or getting time back with family. It starts with listening and understanding what they’re working toward.”
His dual role brings business development and brokerage leadership together. McBride’s vision places agent growth alongside professional judgment, accountability, and thoughtful client service—qualities that matter both in building a business and in sustaining it.
The work is personal at every stage: helping a newer agent find their footing, helping an experienced professional think through an obstacle, or helping an ambitious business owner clarify what comes next.
For McBride, those conversations are where leadership becomes useful.
“I want an agent to leave a conversation with me feeling heard, supported, and clearer about their next step,” he said. “Sometimes that means encouragement. Sometimes it means a difficult conversation. It always means caring enough to be honest and staying focused on what will help them move forward.”
Joining Keller Williams Cary gives McBride a new place to put that purpose into practice, alongside agents whose individual ambitions will shape the office’s next chapter.
“The most meaningful measure of my success will be the people I help succeed,” McBride said. “That’s the opportunity I’m excited about. That’s why I’m here.”
