Jackson Smith

Founder of FirstKey

I'm Jackson Smith, a senior at the University of Kentucky studying finance and accounting.

I created FirstKey to help people make practical plans for everyday decisions. Compare the real cost of apartments, split rent fairly, and get move-in ready. All your moving decisions, finally in one place.

Three projects. One practical purpose.

These ventures are part of Greedcrest, the umbrella brand I founded.

I founded FirstKey, Payday Path, and GatherTrip to help with apartment decisions, paycheck planning, and group travel. Each focuses on useful tools that turn a collection of details into a clearer next step.

Look beyond the rent. Utilities, parking, recurring fees, and the cash due before moving can change which apartment fits your budget. Enter estimates from each listing and verify the final figures with the lease.
