Eric Jacobs

I am a guide. A mentor. A coach. I understand how to get the best out of the people around me. My “why” is served by bringing value in all that I do. By training I am a lawyer with an MBA, a non-practicing real estate broker, a serial entrepeneur. I have been in real estate since I was 18. I’ve owned and sold multiple businesses. Most recently, I sold one of my companies to a public company and I continue to happily work with a terrific team. I owned a real estate brokerage which I successfully sold right before the crash (thankfully). I continue to own and operate a successful law firm. I am a real estate investor and hard money lender. I love every aspect of real estate but my favorite part truthfully is helping others to succeed. I have three kids and two dogs. I love boating, scuba diving, and luxury travel. I am a foodie and love to drink good single malt scotch. My goal with everything is to get better. I have the highest rating Martindale Hubbell awards to lawyers as rated by their peers, am a Board Certified real estate expert and am a past recipient of the Entrepeneur of the Year Award. I have tried cases in state and federal courts . I am blessed to say that in my busy, busy life, I'm doing what I want to do. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be doing it. I have an amazing rolodex and have been more fortunate than I can imagine to advise and work with some of the most prominent business people in the world. I have worked with an ex-CEOs of a Fortune 500 Company, a billionaire hedge fund giant, a genius sports agent and real estate magnates. I have also been privileged to work with tile layers, housekeepers, cooks and valet guys. I am blunt. A truthteller. I curse like a sailor. I hate snobbery or people that judge people by what they have. I am viciously saracastic and love a good joke. I demand results from the people I work with and even more from myself. I only work with winners because I want to make a difference and I can’t help someone who isn’t committed to helping themselves. I don’t know how to fail, only how to prove something didn’t work (a riff on an old Edison quote). I’m a good listener and a give way better advice than I follow. I only work with people I like. Period.
