As December arrives, we take a moment to reflect on a year of growth, client impact, and powerful momentum at J. Brown Realty. From expanded mentorship to major production milestones, 2025 has positioned us as one of the most community-driven and fast-growing brokerages serving Brockton, MA and Rhode Island.

Here’s a full look at what we accomplished — and what clients and agents can expect in 2026.

🎉 2025 Highlights: A Year of Growth, Learning & Big Wins

🌟 Team Achievements

This year, our brokerage grew stronger than ever:

  • 8 agents graduated from the J. Brown Mentorship Program
  • Expanded operations staff to improve agent support & client service
  • Exceeded our transaction count from last year
  • Multiple agents capped in their commission plans
  • Several agents doubled their year-over-year production
  • Our Client Gala brought together our community in a powerful way
  • Broker/Owner Valencia Jacobs-Brown closed a $1.25M sale, a major highlight of the year

These wins reflect our mission: building a brokerage where agents are equipped, supported, and positioned for long-term success.

🏡 Families Served: Making an Impact

In 2025, J. Brown Realty helped 64 families, achieving an impressive:

📈 74% increase in sales volume

This growth shows the trust families place in us — and the strength of our team, systems, and service.

💬 A Message from Our Broker

“I’m proud of us for sticking it out during some of the toughest transactions.”

This year brought challenges, but our agents leaned into grit, professionalism, and problem-solving — the foundation of our culture.

❄️ Winter Market Insights: Massachusetts & Rhode Island

Many assume winter slows down the real estate market — but in MA & RI, the season brings unique opportunities.

📌 What Buyers Should Know

  • Less competition = better negotiating power
  • Motivated sellers
  • Opportunity to assess a home's performance in cold weather
  • Potentially more stable interest rates

📌 What Sellers Should Know

  • Winter buyers are serious and ready
  • Less inventory = more visibility for your listing
  • Homes feel cozier and show beautifully during the holidays

📌 So… Is Winter a Good Time to Buy or Sell?

Absolutely.

Winter in MA & RI is a strategic window for both buyers and sellers — often quieter, faster, and more flexible than the spring market.

🤝 Culture & Leadership: What Makes J. Brown Realty Stand Out

As we head into 2026, our commitment is clear:

🚀 Agent Support at Every Level

  • Whether you're new or seasoned, we’re investing in deeper tools, coaching, and growth opportunities.

💡 Professional Coaching for Seasoned Agents

  • Top agents will gain access to heavily discounted coaching, reinforcing skill development and accountability.

🤖 A Tech-Forward, AI-Smart Brokerage

  • We’re integrating more AI-driven support, automation, and digital tools to streamline agent workflows and enhance client communication (responsibly and ethically).

🔄 Improving in 2026: Focus on Past Client Experience

We’re enhancing:

  • Follow-up systems
  • Personalized touchpoints
  • Long-term client relationships

Because staying connected matters — long after closing day.
