Jared Kott, a Eastside resident has been involved in real estate for close to a decade. Marblestone Property Group was launched in August 2013 where Jared oversees the day to day operations with a strong focus on sales, marketing, growth, and community development. His vision and grit quickly enabled the company to acquire, renovate, and successfully manage close to 100 rentals units in a span of under five years. A key factor to the company’s success was Jared’s ability to think outside the box and to brand and build in areas where many of the communities had been forgotten by both investors and society alike. Where other investors only saw risk and undesirables, Jared saw opportunity. It wasn’t long after Jared began investing in these communities that he caught the attention of numerous public and political figures due to hi tenacious ability to turn abandoned and discarded properties into beautiful homes which now generate taxes for the city and well as quality living for the residents. With the relationships he has since forged there is simply no limit to what Jared and Marblestone Property Group team can achieve.

“The community and the people are what make this business exciting for me. Walking the street where I live and invest and having people thank us for both the residential and commercial product we deliver is a feeling that simply cannot be expressed on paper or in conversation; it can only be felt.”
