Jared Gruber is the Broker of Record and Founder of JG Real Estate. With a diverse transactional and professional background Jared helps his clients navigate the complexities of real estate transactions – sales, leasing, & property management.

 

When founding JGRE, Jared recognized a void in the marketplace –  the need for a truly full service real estate brokerage. Having emerged as the leader in the Philadelphia Property Management space his vision has come true. Bringing a deal together is the most satisfying thing to him. Whether the deal is a complex purchase transaction or a new property management account, his goal is the same – to conduct business in a responsible and ethical way which ultimately benefits all parties involved. When Jared isn’t working he’s enjoying time with his family. If you live in Fishtown you might see him at Penn Treaty park pushing his daughter at the swing sets or walking his dogs.

Jack studied Economics and Criminal Justice at Temple University.  After graduation, he discovered his interest in Real Estate and stumbled upon JGRE. Starting out in property management for JG, he is now a full-time agent and is doing what he likes best: talking to new people, getting out in the city every day, and helping prospects find a place they can call home. During his downtime, Jack enjoys spending time with friends, going for runs, listening to music, and being Philly’s #1 Packers fan (embarrassing, we know).
