Jayson Pocius is the founder of DONTBECHI Designs, a real estate firm focused on revitalizing distressed properties with innovative design solutions and creating sustainable, high-value developments in Las Vegas. His work in property development combines creative design with strategic real estate expertise, transforming undervalued properties into thriving projects.
Jayson’s career is built on a strong academic foundation, holding an MBA from Loyola University Chicago and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Roosevelt University. This education, along with years of hands-on experience, has shaped his analytical and strategic approach to real estate.
Before launching DONTBECHI Designs, Jayson worked with KB Home in Las Vegas, specializing in land acquisition and development projects. His work involved transforming abandoned commercial properties into vibrant residential communities. By focusing on sustainable development, Jayson not only aimed to revitalize neglected areas but also to offer environmentally friendly living solutions that are accessible to first-time homebuyers and those looking to upgrade their homes.
Jayson’s approach is holistic; he believes that real estate development is not just about building houses but creating communities where people can thrive. His projects on the east side of Las Vegas are a testament to his commitment to this philosophy. Under his guidance, areas once filled with derelict buildings and vacant lots are now turning into neighborhoods with new homes, improved infrastructure, and commercial opportunities, sparking a broader revitalization.
Apart from his professional life, Jayson maintains a deep connection to sports, a passion that dates back to his childhood days cheering for the Chicago Bulls. He has also been involved in Division II college basketball as a Special Assistant to the Head Coach for Roosevelt University’s Men’s Basketball team.
Jayson attributes much of his success to his mentor, Hasani Steele of the Steele Consulting Group in Chicago, who has provided him with invaluable insights into real estate development. He is committed to passing on his knowledge by mentoring others interested in entering the real estate field, believing that success is best when shared.
