about Mountain West Ventures

Meet Jon Then: Shaping Your Real Estate Future.

I’m Jon Then, and I advise buyers, sellers, and investors with an owner’s mindset, not just a transactional one. With a background in business acquisition, investment, and land development, I have personally transacted over $125 million in real estate across the country in 2025—both for my clients and within my own portfolio. This extensive experience allows me to bring firsthand, principal-level insight to every engagement.


I am an active real estate investor, owning and operating a diversified portfolio across the United States, which includes industrial, commercial, residential, development, ranch, farm, and short-term rental assets like VRBOs and Airbnbs. This direct ownership experience shapes every recommendation I make, providing practical knowledge in risk, cash flow, operations, and long-term value creation across various asset classes and markets.


My clients benefit from a white-glove, fully integrated approach, gaining access to experienced real estate attorneys, accountants, personal assistants, and specialized brokers, ensuring each transaction is executed with precision, discretion, and efficiency.


Whether acquiring a primary residence, income-producing property, development opportunity, or legacy asset, I approach each decision strategically, focusing on positioning, timing, optionality, and long-term potential. I go beyond just executing transactions—I work with my clients to ensure that their real estate decisions align with their broader financial and legacy objectives.


Outside of real estate, I’m a rancher, adventurer, and father of four. This long-term, ownership-driven perspective shapes my professional life as well, where every client relationship is treated as a partnership and held to the highest standard. If you're looking for an experienced team capable of executing transactions ranging from $500,000 to $100 million across any asset class, we’d welcome the opportunity to work with you.
