Pros

I started working for the Boston Pads Group during my junior year of college. I didn't enjoy the classes at my university, and I did not maintain a good enough grade to get accepted for internships. Working in real estate gave me the opportunity to succeed outside of school, and Jacob Realty gave me the tools and resources I needed to get ahead of my peers. The office has amazing managers that will guide you during your time at the company, and the job is exceptional for mastering cold/warm calling, copywriting, database navigation, CRM, docusign, and closing clients. Because the work hours are extremely flexible (you choose your hours), I was still able to pursue my education as well. Hands down, as a college student, this was the best sales experience I've ever heard and been a part of.

Cons

- the job requires a lot of patience, and you will come across leads that end up with the client wasting your time. - Not having a car makes showings pretty difficult.

Thank you for the review and feedback! We are definitely working on ways to make this opportunity even more visible to students, as it is a great way to boost your resume even before graduating. We have a few students currently on our team, and our highest producing student agent individually grossed $40k in one month from rentals!

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.
