“I’m blessed to get to do what I love.” “Most people think REALTORS® just want to sell, sell, sell... I just want to help people.”
What inspired you to become a REALTOR®, and how long have you been in the business?

Real estate was always something I gravitated toward — I've had a genuine interest in investing and in helping people, and this career brings both of those together in the best way. I started in February of 2024, so I'm about two and a half years in now. In that time I've closed roughly $9.5 million in volume, and honestly every transaction still excites me just as much as the first one.
How would you describe your approach to helping clients buy or sell a home? I'd describe it as people-first, always. My job isn't just to get a deal done — it's to make sure my clients feel informed, supported, and confident at every step. For most people this is one of the biggest financial decisions of their life, and I take that seriously. I want them walking away feeling like they had someone truly in their corner, not just someone pushing them toward a closing table.

What sets you apart from other REALTORS®?

Genuineness. I think a lot of people come into a real estate relationship guarded because they've heard the stereotype — that agents just want the commission. I work hard every day to break that down. I'm not here to sell you a house. I'm here to help you make a great decision, and that sometimes means telling you what you might not want to hear. That honesty builds trust, and that trust is what keeps clients coming back.
Giving Back One Community At A Time. For Jacob Parnin, real estate is about much more than helping clients buy and sell homes—it's about strengthening the community he calls home. One cause especially close to his heart is Movers for Moms®, a nationwide initiative led by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® that provides essential items to women and mothers staying in local shelters. "Home means more than four walls," Jacob believes. "Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and cared for."
