Equity Plus Real Estate was founded on a simple but powerful premise: that buying, selling, or investing in real estate deserves more than a transactional approach. It demands strategy, market intelligence, and a team that thinks like investors — because we are investors.

As a boutique brokerage, we intentionally operate differently. Our clients don’t just get an agent; they get a partner with the depth of knowledge, the industry relationships, and the integrated resources to see every opportunity clearly and execute with precision.

Our Founder

Jacqueline Tobin brings more than 30 years of real estate expertise across residential sales, commercial transactions, property management, real estate development, and investment strategy. Licensed in Pennsylvania, she has built a career that spans every dimension of the real estate industry — from the classroom to the boardroom.

Her credentials include:

•       Licensed Real Estate Broker — Pennsylvania

•       MBA, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland

•       Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification

•       Certified Distance Education Instructor (CDEI) — with over 20 years of real estate education experience

•       Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Certified

•       Graduate, Philadelphia City-Sponsored Drexel Next Gen Developer Program

Jacqueline has served in leadership roles that shape the industry itself, including Director positions with the Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors (GPAR), the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors (PAR), and the Greater Northeast Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. She is an active participant on Legislative, Professional Standards, DEI, and Horizons committees — helping to define the standards the profession is held to.

Her track record in brokerage leadership speaks for itself. As a team and office leader, she has grown sales operations from the ground up — including expanding a real estate office from 7 to 68 agents with 135% sales growth — a testament to her ability to build culture, systems, and results simultaneously.

The Equity Plus Difference: An Integrated Real Estate Platform

What truly sets Equity Plus Real Estate apart is what happens beyond the transaction.

We are the real estate arm of an integrated platform that includes Metropolitan Property Services, our affiliated general contracting and real estate development company. This unique collaboration means our investor clients have access to a seamless continuum of services — from identifying and acquiring a property, through renovation, development, and repositioning, all the way to management and disposition. Few brokerages can offer this. We can.

Whether you are a first-time investor stepping into your first rental property, a seasoned developer assembling a portfolio, or a homeowner looking to maximize the value of your asset before sale, our platform is built to serve you at every stage of ownership.
