About Us
From the Beginning
We met at the early age of 5 years old and have been best friends ever since. This was before our Philly days! We grew up roaming the woods of the Poconos together, before both making the move to the City of Brotherly Love and attending Temple University. After college, Alex moved to California. Jon moved to Connecticut. And ironically, that’s when Brotherly Love really got its start in 2016 – from opposite coasts.
I hated my job. And figured Alex did too. We knew there was something greater out there for us. Connecting with people and helping others filled our cups, and these jobs weren’t cutting it. – Jon
After Jon’s short stint in Connecticut, Philly called him back. We both really enjoyed helping people. Jon is handy, so we thought real estate was our path. And figured, like we’ve done our entire lives, let’s try to figure it out together. – Alex
Come Learn About the Brotherly Love Real Estate Team
We chose the name Brotherly Love Real Estate because we are like brothers. We’ve known each other since we were 5 years old and both played the role of best man at each other’s weddings. Our friendship grew into a business partnership and love for helping people in the Philadephia and San Diego communities.
Two Brothers, Two Coasts
Philadelphia, PA
Hi, I’m Jon, co-founder of Brotherly Love Real Estate. I currently live in the Manayunk / Roxborough area, close to our office in North Philadelphia. My experience running this business with Alex has been one for the books (I joke that I need to write a book about Philly real estate someday with all of my wild stories).
Over the years, we’ve helped more families than I can count with challenging real estate situations. We hang our hats high and feel good about what we do.
When I’m not working on our house flips here in Philly, the outdoors is my go-to. I have family in the Poconos and in Upstate New York that I enjoy visiting when I can. If I am just hanging out, you’ll usually find me kayaking, fishing, or camping throughout different parts of PA.
San Diego, CA
Hi, I’m Alex. I currently live in San Diego, CA, with my wife, while running the business here on the West Coast and in Philly with Jon. Life is good here, and very expensive. I did the whole “move, met a girl, fell in love, and never left” kind of thing.
I believe in how short life is. Jon and I were never good fits for the classic 9-5 in a cubicle job. On a human level, connecting with the families that we help is a huge driver for me. Reading our old reviews brings me right back to those moments.
And outside of work, traveling is my activity of choice. The world is huge, full of experiences waiting for us. I’m also a huge fan of hiking (usually with my wife, Kira) or surfing – both fill my cup!

Real, Local People
We dove headfirst into Philly real estate, with one of our first purchases being a commercial mixed-use building with a hair salon as one of the tenants (it was HOT PINK, seen here in this picture). Jon and I (Alex) were open to anything and everything that got us more involved in the Philly real estate scene. It was so stressful at first, finding our way, that our hair nearly fell out!
Since then, we’ve gained our footing as a well-known Philadelphia homebuyer in the community that has helped over +100 homeowners sell their properties. We started Brotherly Love Real Estate for the sole purpose of helping people in the community with one of the most important investment decisions of their lifetime. The two of us started off as childhood best friends and now buy houses together. What a journey! Now, we look at anything from condos, to single-family, to multi-family, vacant land, and even warehouses. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that we’d run a successful real estate investment company, while supporting our families and helping people along the way.
This real estate journey has led us to meet incredible people throughout the community and has helped us grow into the people we are today.
