About JR
Most people see Silicon Valley as a landscape of rapid change. I see it as home—and my family has for seven generations.
With roots in this Valley dating back to the early 1800s—from the original orchards to the construction industry—I don’t just know these neighborhoods; I know the history of the land beneath them. Since 1981, I have combined this ancestral perspective with high-level strategy to serve as a Trusted Real Estate Advisor, now guiding third and fourth-generation clients through the most dynamic market on earth.
A Different Kind of Advisor: Wealth Through Stewardship
I believe true wealth is built through long-term stewardship, not just quick transactions. I am a servant-minded advocate who has facilitated nearly 2,600 successful outcomes, spanning home sales, complex financing, and commercial investments.
Even though I make my living selling homes, I am often the first person to tell a client not to sell. If the numbers align, I will encourage you to hold your property as an asset while moving toward your next chapter. I would rather "lose" a potential sale today to earn your lifelong trust tomorrow. In my world, the right call is the only call.
The JR McKee Advantage
A 200-Year Perspective: From the farming roots of the 1800s to the tech hubs of today, I have an unrivaled understanding of Silicon Valley’s value cycles.
The Master Negotiator: After 44+ years at the table, I don’t just negotiate; I outmaneuver. I protect your equity with the tenacity of someone who has a lifelong stake in this community.
The Master Trades Network: My "vendor list" is a decades-old Rolodex of master tradespeople and specialists who prioritize my clients, keeping your renovation costs down and your property value up.
The H2H (Human-to-Human) Model: In the tech capital of the world, I believe human connection is the ultimate luxury. Whenever possible, I bring buyers and sellers together face-to-face. This ensures buyers understand "what makes the house tick" and sellers gain the peace of mind of knowing who is taking over their legacy.
The Heart-to-Heart Analysis
It starts with your vision. Once I understand your goals, we dive into your resources—income, assets, and cash flow—using my proprietary reverse-engineering engine. We scale your strategy to ensure you aren't "house rich and lifestyle poor," but rather in a home you love with a financial plan that supports your quality of life.
Our Goal: To find the "right home with the right loan and the right strategy" as we pursue the generational wealth you deserve.
Roots in the Community
My commitment to the Valley extends beyond the closing table. As a father, son, and brother, I am deeply invested in our future through:
Youth Leadership: Advocate for the Kiwanis Club of Campbell, Westmont High School Key Club, and Valley Christian Schools.
Historical Preservation: Serving as VP for The City of Campbell Historical Museum and Ainsley House Foundation.
"I’m not just helping you buy or sell a house; I’m helping you steward a legacy. Let’s build your family’s wealth together."

JR's Reviews

JR has always been attentive to our needs when we had any problems with our new rental and has always been quick to respond. He always goes out of his way to make sure we are happy tenants which my wife and I greatly appreciate.

Armin J.R. McKee is a master craftsman of the Realty trade. My now 30 weeks pregnant wife, two sons and I have been looking on our own for over two years for a home to call our own and to no avail. Unlike the other listing agents who portrayed each home to be "perfect" for us, J.R. actually interviewed us prior to us looking, to gain much needed perspective of what would meet our needs to satisfy all of us. He accomplished not only that, but found us a place to meet the needs of our growing family with security to meet financial demand as time goes on. We closed in time for our 1st Christmas in our new home too!!! We would highly recommend J.R. to anyone looking to make the right realty related purchase or sale for the right reasons for themselves or their families.

JR McKee is the ONLY real estate agent I will ever work with.
When we were ready to purchase our first home, JRs experience and
expertise were invaluable. He listened to our wants and our fears, showed us where we can get more home than we thought, either through fine tuning our budget or considering some simple changes to a home that had unseen potential. When we found our home, we knew immediately. JR worked diligently to get us the best deal and make sure the home we chose was safe and fit our budget.
When my father passed away and the time came to sell my childhood home JR was there. He worked meticulously to help me clear out 40 years worth of memories, update the floors, paint, bathrooms and
made the home a showcase. JR's compassionate approach to a very difficult situation made it easier to move forward. After only 2 open houses, we received multiple offers and JR was able to get us top dollar, allowing us to provide the best care for my ailing mother in her final years.
Whether you're purchasing your first or second home, or listing your home for sale, I highly recommend JR McKee. His experience, vision and
compassion are unparalleled.
