Pros

Having worked at other real estate offices in Boston before, I can say with full confidence, that this company has the best technology available if you want to be a rental agent in Boston. Jacob is one of five offices which together comprise New England's largest real estate team and because of their "landlord-centric" approach to rentals, they have built a massive database. This means I have more listings to show my clients and I'm therefore closing more deals and having more fun while doing it. I also think that the training here is much better than what most agents get at any other office. From a structures training program to hands on coaching and mentoring at the office. Not to mention that Jacob Realty has a beautiful office on Newbury St. with a great team environment which makes it that much better to come into work every day.

Cons

I can tell that management styles and the office environment in general varies by office.

Pros

This company prints money. Even in the "offseason", there's agents there doing $10,000-30,000/month in September, October, November, and December. They have a massive amount of listings for rent in their database that you honestly won't find at any real estate company anywhere in the world, let alone Boston. They also give you leads all day every day so all you gotta do is go close them. Upper management is available literally between 5am and 1am to help me with anything I need tech-wise or real estate-wise. Most dominant company in Boston, hands down.

Cons

In order to get results like mine, you gotta work long hours every day.

Pros

I think it starts with the rental manager Wilfredo Miguez. He's an incredibly successful agent himself but always makes time to teach others how to do what he does. If you show up to work and put in the hours, you will make money all year. He literally held my hand through my first few rental transactions and still answers all my questions. Secondly, this is one of the only offices that does high volume rentals even in the slow season. I interviewed with over 10 different rental brokerages before I settled here. They may have prettier marketing, but they do business here. Last but not least, they have thousands of listings in their system that are either exclusive or semi-exclusive which you can market to generate your own leads. This gives you a lot more to work with than just MLS, YGL, and a small inventory of exclusives most rental agents in the city use. They also do very few co-brokes, which means more money for people who put in the work.

Cons

It takes some time to learn the process. Parking can be expensive, but you want to be on Newbury st. It's a small investment that pays off big.
