Platinum Properties Investor Network Faculty and Affiliates

Founder and CEO
Jason Hartman, CRS, GRI, CSP

Jason Hartman, a CA licensed agent, is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Platinum Properties Investor Network. He has been fascinated with real estate since childhood and since 1982, his entire career has been devoted to learning about real estate, selling real estate and investing in real estate. A self-made millionaire while still in his twenties, Hartman was not born into wealth. Starting with practically nothing, he built a successful business and has achieved notoriety as a public speaker, author and has had guest appearances on numerous radio and television shows. As CEO of Platinum Properties Investor Network, he shares his experience and expertise with those who seek to achieve financial independence through real estate investment.


Area Manager
Karam Jivani

Karam Jivani, a CA licensed agent and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, has been The Platinum Properties Investor Network’s top producer since he joined the company five years ago, winning numerous sales awards during that time. Prior to that, Karam owned and operated several businesses, obtaining a wealth of experience in contract negotiations and investment analysis in the process.  

One of the reasons for Karam’s outstanding success is that he not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk, investing his own money where he recommends his clients invest. He began building his portfolio of rental houses in 1982, and currently owns 19 properties with plans to add more in the near future. 

Karam is a firm believer in the importance of long-term relationships with his clients. While many real estate salespeople take a hit-and-run approach, viewing a sale as simply a way to collect a commission, Karam spends a considerable amount of time learning about his clients’ wants and needs and then tailoring investment portfolios to meet their unique objectives. He then stays in contact with his clients to ensure continuity of advice and portfolio management so that they never have to wonder what to do next.  

Client loyalty is a hallmark of Karam’s business. Just as he strives to maximize the benefits of on-going relationships, his clients have demonstrated unusual loyalty in coming back to him whenever they need advice or assistance in buying or selling property.

Karam never compromises or takes shortcuts when it comes to honesty, completeness, accuracy or creativity.  

Here is what one of his clients recently wrote:

“Thank you so much for all of your advice, attention and help! We really appreciate it more than you could ever imagine! It’s amazing how many details there are that need to be taken care of in a timely manner. You’ve worked diligently for us and we feel very fortunate to have you!”
