From Single Mom to Top Producer: Jordan May's Real Estate Rise

Northeast Florida’s real estate scene demands more than just hustle. It demands heart, community roots, and relentless follow-through. Jordan May, team lead of The Shoreline Group at Keller Williams St. Johns, checks every box—and then some. This article uses insights from the full episode transcript at tracyhayespodcast.com/56.

A Real Estate Story Born in Orange Park

Jordan May (formerly Feria) didn’t just enter real estate—she built her business from the ground up as a single mom of three, with barely enough in her bank account to fund her license. She now leads one of the most respected teams in Northeast Florida, and her journey from struggle to success is one of the most powerful episodes I’ve recorded.

Jordan grew up in Orange Park and still calls it home. "I'm not just a Floridian, I'm an Orange Parkian," she says proudly【14†Jordan Feria 56.txt†L41-L42】. That deep-rooted connection gives her a natural advantage with buyers and sellers in Clay County and surrounding areas like Fleming Island and Jacksonville.

What sets Jordan apart isn’t just her results—it’s her resilience, leadership, and authenticity. She’s well-connected, fiercely dedicated to her clients, and brings investor knowledge to the table. Her personal story drives her mission: "Because I've struggled like that before, I know that I can't let go of my faith, and I have to keep going"【14†Jordan Feria 56.txt†L581-L582】.

Quotes That Define Her

"The reason why I'm so successful is because how I struggled before I got here."

"You do the dang thing. You do it because you have to."

"I'm proud of myself for doing it, but I also take it as a challenge. When someone says I can't do something, I'm going to do it—and do it 1000% better."

Local Expertise Across Clay & Duval County

Jordan’s reach spans Orange Park, Fleming Island, and Jacksonville. These areas reflect some of the most dynamic growth in Northeast Florida:

Orange Park offers family-centered communities and proximity to NAS Jacksonville.
Fleming Island delivers suburban value with solid schools and high demand.
Jacksonville remains a major relocation hub with a diverse housing stock.

As someone who grew up navigating these communities, Jordan brings unmatched local fluency to every transaction.

Real Stories from the Field

First Deal, First Home – Her first transaction? Her own house. "It was two and a half months in. I still remember going to my first inspection—I was so overwhelmed"【14†Jordan Feria 56.txt†L173-L174】.
Team Formation – When her first team member, Lindsay, came onboard, Jordan wasn’t even planning to lead a team. But encouragement from mentors like Kim Knapp changed everything: "I brought the idea to Kim... and she said, 'Do it.' So I took a leap of faith"【14†Jordan Feria 56.txt†L205-L206】.
Investor Roots – With her own background in investing and renovation, Jordan guides clients with a sharp eye for value. Her Shoreline Group often works with flips, first-timers, and families relocating to Northeast Florida.
