Originally from Sparta, NJ, Jon went to Wake Forest University in North Carolina and majored in Business. After graduation in 2004 he moved to Arlington, VA and took a sales job with the management consulting company Corporate Executive Board. He started there as an inside sales rep and quickly moved up in the organization into outside sales, then sales management with larger and larger teams. After 4 years working for CEB he started looking into starting his own business. After investigating stock trading, rare coin dealing, affiliate marketing, and many others, he decided real estate was the surest path to running his own business. He began reading and researching real estate, going to meetings, networking, and otherwise learning everything he could about it. After 2 years of intensive self education he did his first real estate deal. The following year he did 4 deals, then 8, 16, and so on. By 2012 he was able to transition to working for himself full time. Since he started in real estate in 2009 his company, 4 Brothers Development, has done about 125 real estate deals- including 95 renovation projects and 30 wholesale deals. He’s done everything from small $30K jobs to $400K whole house gut & addition projects. He works all over Northern VA, DC, and MD. He’s also a licensed Realtor and Broker in DC, MD, and VA with Gordon James Brokerage.
