About the Principal
Broker. Investor. Dealmaker.
One professional operating on both sides of the table — brokerage licence in one hand, investor mandate in the other.
The Story
Built in Toronto.
Wired to the world.
Jacob S. Kerzner entered real estate in 2013 and built his practice the hard way — door by door, deal by deal, in one of North America's most competitive markets. What set him apart early is what defines him today: he thinks like an investor first and a broker second.
In 2018 he founded the Private Investors Group, a private network connecting serious capital with off-market opportunity. Today, as its President, Jacob sits at the centre of a deal flow spanning Toronto, the United States, Europe and China — residential trophies, commercial income assets, land assemblies and structured investments in the $1M–$80M range.
His clients include private investors, family offices, developers and foreign capital entering North America. They stay for one reason: Jacob delivers opportunities others never see, and closes them with total discretion.
“Anyone can show you what's for sale. My job is to show you what isn't — yet.”Jacob S. Kerzner
The Practice
Two hats. One standard.
As a broker — Jacob represents buyers and sellers of premium residential and commercial property across the Greater Toronto Area, with a specialty in off-market and estate transactions where pricing, privacy and timing decide everything.
As an investor — through the Private Investors Group, he structures acquisitions, joint ventures and capital placements alongside the same clients he advises, aligning his outcomes with theirs. When Jacob brings a deal, he has usually underwritten it as if his own money were going in — because often, it is.
