Proverb G. Jacobs, III

What do Clients Say?

"Selling my family home was an arduous task, to say the least. There were so many technical issues to address that I would never have considered. Proverb eased the burden through his patience, expertise, and genuine interest. I cannot emphasize enough the relief that I experienced from his support. Proverb Jacobs is my husband and I know so much about him but through that process, it became evident that real estate is truly his passion.”

Jan Moore-Jacobs

“I started off with interesting challenges. Mr. Jacobs listened to me. He gave me sound advice and direction. I made huge progress because of his patience and expertise.”

Shirley Black

I wasn't too sure about buying a home let alone if I was truly ready. I ran in to Proverb while looking at the home postings Keller Williams had on display on Telegraph Avenue by 49th Street posted in their front window. I am so glad I decided to have him as my realtor. He had lots of knowledge and pointed me to the right people to help ensure that I was in a solid buyer ready stance. He was very straightforward, compassionate, and to the point, very thorough and detailed. He gave me a lot of valuable information on the area(s) I was looking to buy, pros and cons with properties, and helped equip me to make an educated buying decision for what I was seeking & for what I was going to be paying for, for the next 30 years! He went to bat for me during contract negotiations, he went to bat for me during changes with the builder, and the lender. He's simply the best at what he does (even in the middle of the pandemic he respected social boundaries yet still got things accomplished) and stuck with me every step of the way even after closing the deal. Any one buying a home whether it's your 1st or 5th should have him on their team! I only wanted the best considering the amount of money I was investing (spending) and he is that! I will definitely utilize him on my next purchase. Christin Avila

“Even before we started I knew it was going to be troublesome. I anticipated a lot of problems. But I wasn’t expecting how confusing it would be with all of the automated documentation. Proverb explained each and every bit of it. And, he kept me informed every step of the way. I truly appreciated his guidance. He came through with flying colors.” Howard L.

About Proverb

Growing up, I was introduced to the wonderful world of real estate through a family-owned real estate investment business based in Oakland, California. Upon graduation from the University of California, at Berkeley, I immediately began the journey towards earning my Real Estate Broker's License.

An Oakland resident since 1975, I enjoy digital photography, walking on the beach, touring residential properties, watching my son advance in the art of American Karate, and spending time with my two adult daughters, when they have time for "dear old dad". As well as my wonderful wife, who keeps me grounded.
