Bryan Jacobs is the Principal Partner of RealSmart Property Group and his deep knowledge of the Silicon Valley real estate market has been built on over 30 years as a local real estate investor, property manager and broker.
He started his real estate career in 1987 as a loan research analyst at a large brokerage firm in San Mateo. At age 18, Bryan obtained his real estate license, and quickly jumped into the local real estate market purchasing his first investment property at the age of 22, and shortly after acquired 3 rental properties; eventually selling these three to purchase a larger apartment building in San Carlos. During the same time, Bryan became a partner in a mortgage business, later leading the company to launch the real estate division of the brokerage. In 1998, Bryan left that company and founded what would become RealSmart Property Group with his business partner Karen, leaving the mortgage business behind to expand the real estate investment side of the business.
Bryan has a passion for real estate investing, and true to his mantra practice what you preach, Bryan has leveraged his experience in buying, selling, investing, remodeling, syndicating, and managing real estate over the last 3 decades to assist clients in fulfilling their own real estate goals. Throughout his career, Bryan has built a strong base of clients who come back to him regularly and refer their friends, family and co-workers. Bryans very first client from when he began in the industry is still a client and friend today.
Bryan holds a Bachelor of Science in Small Business Management from San Francisco State University and for 7 years wrote a real estate column for the San Francisco Examiner newspaper. Currently he leads a weekly Mastermind meeting for local top producing real estate agents in the mid-peninsula where they discuss market and industry trends and meet with local school leaders, community leaders, builders and local non-profits.
In his spare time, Bryan enjoys being outdoors, be it on his motorcycle or on his feet hiking the trails of the peninsula. Bryan has a passion for travel and makes it a point to travel to Europe at least once a year, especially to Germany where his wife is from, to take in the culture and visit family. On the rare weekend, you can find him playing a round or two of golf, but mostly he enjoys spending time with his wife and son.
