This is not Realtor brokerage

Today

Jonathan serves as Principal at Realplaces.io, SaveOurHomesNow.com, and TheProfessionalLandord.com, solving real estate challenges that conventional methods are insufficiently equipped to address. Using time-tested techniques and the innovative application of established instruments and practices, Realplaces delivers superior outcomes through buying, leasing, financing, lending, borrowing, selling, optioning, and exchanging properties that generate cash, cash flow, arbitrage, and tax benefits.

Experience

Jonathan's expertise stems from years of hands-on work in real estate, technology, direct marketing, copy and content writing, and teaching. His growth has come from taking risks, making mistakes, getting through major failures, completing post-graduate coursework, attending seminars, participating in coaching programs, dedicating substantial time and resources to self-development, growing professional and personal relationships for over 30 years, helping a lot of people out, and most importantly from being a dad.

Background

Originally from Philadelphia and later NYC, Jonathan speaks fluent Portuguese and Spanish and has lived in South America. He started his career as a professional musician recording with artists including Will Smith. Later he gained expertise in technology and marketing, where as a contractor and employee he launched online offerings for companies like VNU/Nielsen, Bertelsmann, and McGraw-Hill/S&P. Jonathan has an undergraduate degree in international Relations from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in Management & Marketing from Fordham Business School. He holds further certifications in publishing and technology from UCLA and NYU.

    Perspectives

    There is nothing more fascinating to me than connecting people who bring about each others mutual success.
    If you have ever spoken to or met me in person you know exactly what I am talking about. People are like wrapped presents : You don't know what amazing things someone could bring to your life. Through my customers I have broadened my knowledge and deepened my experience to a level that one could not have accomplished otherwise, and I am so very grateful for that.

    Real estate as a profession happens to touch everyone, and as investors we get exposed to a wide range of people and backgrounds. As a profession that permits me to earn a livelihood while simultaneously uncovering an endless flow of learning, business, and personal opportunities for my customers, colleagues, partners and share in their success.
    Some view real estate as "sales work" that results in property or proceeds. I see it as "interpersonal work" that regularly tests, destroys, reconstructs, and reshapes our authentic candor, generosity, and respect.

    Commit to a life of endless self-improvement.

    Considering how little time we have to live, isn't it is obvious that our purpose is to learn as much as we can, be as good as we can be at whatever we do, and help as many people as we can to do the same?
