Michelle Florea

Managed Agent

Before joining First Team Real Estate, I was looking for something I honestly hadn't experienced much in this industry: real support. In the past, real estate often felt like a dog-eat-dog world where everyone was left to figure things out on their own. I wanted to be around leadership that genuinely cared about helping agents grow instead of just expecting them to survive on their own. I've only known Jacob Lawlor for a little over a week, but in that short amount of time I've already learned an incredible amount from him. He's excited to mentor both new and experienced agents alike, enthusiastic about implementing new ideas, and extremely engaging, knowledgeable, and thorough in the way he communicates. The first day I met him, I noticed the Monopoly posters hanging behind his desk, and one in particular stood out: 'OUTWORK EVERYONE.' The more I've gotten to know Jacob, the more I realize that poster truly reflects who he is. He approaches every day with exuberance, candor, honesty, discipline, and positivity. What separates Jacob from other leaders I've experienced is that he makes agents feel genuinely supported. Every time I see him, whether during a meeting or a one-on-one conversation, he reminds me that no question is too small and that he's always available to help. That kind of accessibility and encouragement is rare in this business. He truly cares about whether the agents in his office succeed, and you can feel that immediately. Looking back, if I'd had the opportunity to work with and learn from someone like Jacob when I first got licensed in 2010, I probably would have stayed in real estate the entire time, because I would have felt motivated, encouraged, and excited about what was possible through hard work. Joining First Team and learning from Jacob has already reignited that excitement for me. I'm honored to be part of his team, and I would tell any agent considering a move to run, don't walk, toward the opportunity to work with Jacob Lawlor and the rest of this amazing team.

It's 9 o'clock at night. You're staring at a contract, your deal is unraveling, and you don't know which way is up. You've read the same paragraph four times and it still isn't making sense. What on earth do you do? You do what every agent on our team does in that moment: you call Jacob. And just like that, everything gets better. He picks up the phone with that big, booming, cheerful voice, as if he's been waiting for your call, as if it's the middle of the afternoon and he has all the time in the world. Without looking, he cites some obscure paragraph in a CAR form, word for word, explains what it means, what your options are, and what he'd do. The fog lifts. You have a path forward. This is Jacob, every single time. As our real estate manager, coach, mentor, and teacher, Jacob brings encyclopedic knowledge of the contract paired with a genuine, unwavering desire to help. Day, night, weekends, it doesn't matter. He is always there, always cheerful, always ready. And when real estate gets hard, as it often does, it's comforting to know Jacob has your back. One of his most remarkable gifts is his ability to bring clarity to chaos. When you're flustered and going in six different directions, Jacob listens, cuts right to the heart of the matter, and hands it back to you in a way that's suddenly simple and clear. He has a talent for distilling the noise into exactly what you need to hear. We are so lucky to have Jacob as our manager. He doesn't just support our team, he teaches us, nurtures us, and elevates every single one of us, every single day.

Darlene A. Jamroz

Managed Agent

After spending my entire professional career in the real estate industry, including escrow, title, major builder backup lending, wholesale, retail, construction lending, commercial lending, HOA DRE submittals, and real estate sales, I can confidently say my background in this business is both broad and extensive. Over the years, I have worked under several managers and leaders in real estate sales, which gives me a strong basis for comparison. Without hesitation, I can say that my current manager, Jacob Lawlor at First Team Real Estate, is one of the very best I have ever worked with. He is consistently available, approachable, and solution-oriented, whether dealing with simple day-to-day matters or highly complex transactions and challenges. His leadership style creates confidence and clarity, and his depth of knowledge is truly impressive. What stands out most is the quality of his training and mentorship. The meetings are always informative, relevant, and valuable. In an industry where time is precious, I intentionally make the effort to attend because I know I will walk away having learned something meaningful that will help me professionally. I would strongly encourage anyone currently with another brokerage, or anyone new to the real estate business, to simply meet with him. One conversation alone would validate everything I have shared and likely reveal even more reasons why working under his leadership creates such an exceptional and rewarding experience.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jacob Lawlor, manager of the San Clemente and Mission Viejo offices at First Team Real Estate, for the past two to three years, and with 28 years in the real estate industry, I can confidently say he is one of the most knowledgeable managers I have ever worked with. Jacob brings tremendous value to our offices through not only his deep understanding of real estate, but also his forward-thinking knowledge of technology and AI. He consistently provides agents with innovative tools, strategies, and insights that help us stay competitive and productive in an ever-changing industry. One thing that stands out to me is the attendance and engagement at our office meetings. Nearly all of the seasoned agents make it a priority to attend, which speaks volumes about the value Jacob provides. We come not only to improve our productivity, but also to gain the valuable nuggets of knowledge he generously shares. He also fosters an environment where agents learn from one another and openly share ideas and experiences from our businesses. Jacob's positive attitude is a tremendous asset to our company. He is approachable, supportive, and always available when needed. Beyond his professional strengths, it's clear that he is a devoted family man, which adds to the respect and trust people naturally have for him. I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with Jacob and feel very fortunate to have his leadership and support.

Monica Kwon

Power Curve Graduate

I worked as a realtor and broker associate years ago and was a top producer, but after 14 years away I had no idea how to come back in today's market. I joined First Team and signed up for the training just to sharpen my skills, not expecting much. Then I started with Mr. Lawlor, and it changed everything. It was an amazing journey. He taught me not only how to be a successful agent in this difficult market, but how to be a great realtor who truly cares for clients and earns their future business and referrals. There was never a dull moment across all 15 sessions; he held everyone's attention with his passion from beginning to end. I've been to many retreats and seminars that promised great outcomes, but there's no comparison to the roadmap Jacob put together. He's truly one of the great leaders, mentors, and career coaches, and I'm confident his teaching will impact every realtor who wants to reach their goals. Thank you, Mr. Lawlor, for all your support and dedication.

Yazmin Reyes

Power Curve Graduate

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Power Curve training led by Jacob Lawlor for newer agents at First Team, and it's been a game-changer for me. My background is in real estate, but I hadn't worked as a Realtor in some time, so I had concerns about what training a new company would provide. From the very first session, it was clear that Jacob really cares. He puts immense effort into these trainings, offers them monthly, and takes the time to connect with each participant, and there are so many helpful handouts to go back and review. His guidance is practical, actionable, and inspiring; I've already started applying many of the strategies and can feel he's set me up for long-term success. He even shared part of his personal story, which made the training feel more impactful. I feel incredibly grateful to have chosen First Team and to have had Jacob as part of my onboarding. If you want top-tier training with heart, I'd recommend Jacob in a heartbeat.

Jennine Daniels

Managed Agent

When I first started working with Jacob, I was still fairly new in the business and quickly found myself managing several transactions at once. I needed guidance and support, and Jacob was there every step of the way. He helped me stay calm, understand the process, and build the confidence I needed to successfully help my clients. What stands out most is how available and supportive he is. In my experience, other managers did not have the patience or leadership skills to truly work alongside their agents, especially when help was needed most. Jacob is completely different. He genuinely cares, stays engaged, and makes sure his agents feel supported. I have and will continue to recommend Jacob to both new and seasoned agents because his training, knowledge, and leadership are hard to beat.

I truly appreciate the leadership and support of Jacob Lawlor at First Team. Each week, our office holds team meetings along with a variety of training sessions that continue to add value to my business and professional growth. One of the things I enjoy most is learning how to incorporate AI into real estate. The classes and trainings are incredibly informative, practical, and absolutely worth the investment of time. I always leave with new ideas and tools that help me better serve my clients and grow my business. What stands out most is the positive and engaging environment Jacob has helped create. I genuinely enjoy attending our meetings and always look forward to the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside the team. Thank you, Jacob, for all the effort and hard work you put into educating our team.

I'm very happy that Jacob Lawlor is our manager at First Team Real Estate. As an older agent, technology and AI felt overwhelming to me at first, but Jacob has been extremely patient and supportive while helping me learn and understand it better. He always checks in to see how we're doing and asks what he can help with, which shows how much he genuinely cares about his agents. What really stands out is that Jacob listens. I had a situation in my business where he helped me see things from a completely different perspective that I hadn't even thought about, and it all worked out. I've recommended him to other agents because of the training, guidance, and support he provides.

I have been a successful Realtor for 23 years. Jacob Lawlor is the office manager for the Mission Viejo and San Clemente offices where I work. He delivers the weekly office meetings and offers coaching, training, accountability, business planning, and overall support for his agents. Although I work very independently, there are those trying times when you hit a wall and need an expert answer from someone who knows. Jacob is that person who knows. He is always available to talk to you, calm you down, answer your questions, and give good advice, either in person in the office or immediately on the phone. It makes you feel like someone cares and always has your back. I consider Jacob an integral part of my successful business, keeping me balanced, on the right track, and out of legal trouble.

Managed Agent

Coming into real estate, I didn't really have experience and was just open to learning as much as possible. Jacob has helped me improve the way I communicate with clients, from the words I use to how I approach conversations overall. One thing that stood out to me was when he suggested saying, 'Just out of curiosity, what would it take for me to work with you?' at open houses. It was direct and honest, and I realized that's what people actually respond to. Jacob is very straightforward in the way he coaches, and that honesty has helped me a lot. I'd definitely recommend anyone considering First Team to sit down and talk with him, because he'll prove himself.

Being someone without a background in real estate and without a large number of contacts in the area, I've relied on Jacob to help me understand where to find potential clients and how to build relationships in the industry, through his trainings, one-on-one meetings, and phone calls. Seriously, he's always there if you need help with your business. He has maintained a welcoming environment in our New Agent Mastermind meetings, where we can share ideas, learn from each other, and hear specific examples from his personal experiences in this business.

With Jacob's coaching, and only six months in the business, I have closed two transactions, have four escrows open right now, have an active listing, and two other listings hitting the market in the next couple of months. My early success is a direct result of the mentorship and coaching I've received from Jacob since day one. His extensive knowledge of the business, combined with his unique closing techniques, marketing strategies, and practical application, arms his agents to achieve success in today's extremely competitive market. He genuinely cares about every agent he coaches and shares in the excitement of their success. Agents who apply what he teaches will achieve success. I'm extremely grateful for his guidance and would not be the agent I am today without it. This year I'm able to buy a new car, have a wedding, and purchase a house with my fiance, and it's all possible due to my success with Jacob's coaching. I'm forever grateful.

Jacob's mentoring and guidance helped me open escrow as a buyer's agent just six weeks after obtaining my license! He was there every single step and obstacle along the way and answered every question I had. His genuine care and attention toward the agents in our office is the reason new agents in particular are so successful. I may be new, but I know I'm already ahead of the competition, and I have yet to be asked, 'How long have you been doing this?' What he teaches works, and I'm thrilled with the results I've already gotten just weeks into the business. He doesn't claim this business is easy by any means, and tells us it takes hard work and consistency, but if you apply what he teaches, you get transactions. Anyone lucky enough to have him as a mentor or coach has a huge advantage. First Team agents are extremely fortunate to have him, and the company is so successful due to managers like him. Thank you, Jacob!

Ed Herro

Managed Agent

Deciding to change your career is an intimidating prospect after spending 18 years in the same industry. The fear, the nerves, the self-doubt all contribute to sleepless nights, days of wondering what to do next, and sometimes wishing you'd never made the change. This is what I was facing when I decided to join First Team Real Estate to become a full-time realtor. Jacob Lawlor has been an integral part of softening that very large blow of career change for me. Jacob's personality is electrifying. This can be intimidating for some people, but he doesn't intimidate; he makes you feel like you can be electrifying too. But the personality is not the most impressive part. It's the fact that he speaks to people and teaches them with the ease, comfort, and knowledge of a seasoned veteran of coaching, sales, self-motivation, and self-worth. There has never been a question or a topic that Jacob could not tackle for me or the groups he's led. He always has a great answer, solution, or suggestion for whatever the issue is. This man has limitless possibilities in his future, and he could certainly phone it in when helping me and dozens of other agents, but he doesn't. He treats us like we are his first priority, available at all hours of the day, any time of the year. I cannot imagine what it would have been like starting this new career without Jacob as my manager, coach, mentor, and friend.

I'm going into my third year working with Jacob, and I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience. Jacob's support and Fred's leadership are the number one reason I'm with First Team and plan to stay with this company. Jacob has shown a genuine interest in my professional development as a Realtor. When I have questions, even questions about things I should already know, his response is always immediate, concise, and most of all helpful. Jacob's attitude and demeanor are always upbeat and positive, which is refreshing, especially when you're starting out in a business like real estate where we hit so many highs and lows in our first years. As a coach and trainer, Jacob is an effective communicator; his command of language, along with his in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, has made his training sessions an indispensable element in my professional development. In my opinion, Jacob has the industry knowledge, the professional and moral ethics, and a Trojan-like work ethic to become highly successful in whatever he chooses to do.

Leveraging your assets is sometimes all you have to set yourself apart from the fray, and enthusiasm can be quickly dashed when coupled with inexperience. Jacob has proven a key asset: an invaluable, inexhaustible resource, motivator, and coach. His ability to crystallize the essential points of real estate sales and provide hands-on, immediate solutions and advice is truly outstanding. You could say I'm appreciative and happy with my boss.

Which brokerage is best for us? That was the biggest mystery my wife and I had to solve as newly licensed agents, and First Team was the answer. Before the ink was dry, we were in Power Curve, and what a power-packed program. It's the adage of drinking from a firehose: it knocked us down and woke us up to the challenges ahead, covering the who, what, where, when, why, and how of becoming trusted, successful agents. We appreciated the clear presentation with no sugarcoating. Jacob Lawlor provided the energy to power the firehose, and his practical, real-life application of First Team's resources was vital to keep us from feeling like we were drowning. He was both the boot-camp instructor and the lifeguard. Along with Katie Norman, he put in tremendous effort. I can't imagine another program that comes close to equipping agents for success like Power Curve.

I'm new to real estate with no formal sales training, but I left this course extremely confident in my decision to become an agent with First Team. Jacob Lawlor is very engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, and I loved learning all the things he personally does to be a great agent, watching other agents teach their processes, and picking up real sales techniques. He made learning fun.

Hannah Taylor

Power Curve Graduate

As a brand-new agent, I had plenty of sales experience but was totally ignorant of the technicalities of real estate; I couldn't even tell you what an RPA was. Over three weeks, Jacob took us step by step through everything you could possibly need to know and more. He and Katie created such a safe learning space, with the theme that 'stupid questions are our favorite,' both during and outside of class. The homework pushed us into uncomfortable situations that built our confidence and got our business started. I've since sat down with agents who've been in the industry for years and they're shocked at what I already know after just three weeks. I 100% recommend the course. Thank you, Jacob and Katie, for everything!

I came from being laid off after 27 years at one job and decided to go into real estate. I was nervous taking this class, not knowing what to expect, and I left with so much more confidence in myself.

Jacob is an amazing coach with so much knowledge. Thank you, Jacob!

I'm a veteran agent going on 16 years, and I never got the Power Curve training when First Team took over our brokerage six years ago.

I picked up tips on First Team tools I didn't know about plus new ideas for running my business. I highly recommend Power Curve to new and veteran agents alike. Thanks, Jacob and Katie, for such a powerful, entertaining, and well-organized class.
