Beyond The Bio: 16 Questions With Ten-X Commercial General Manager Steve Jacobs

Commercial real estate is embracing the potential of technology to support and transform the industry, and Ten-X is but one of the platforms helping power the $2 trillion machine. Steve Jacobs joined online transaction marketplace Ten-X, which aims to help investors close more deals faster, in 2016 before being promoted to general manager of the company's commercial division in March 2017. An industry vet who served as managing director at CWCapital prior to joining Ten-X, Jacobs has helped scale the company’s platform into a national tool for investment sales brokers, buyers and sellers to streamline transactions and accelerate close rates. Ten-X’s commercial and residential platform has been used to transact more than $53B since its inception. The company was acquired by private equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners in late 2017 for roughly $1.6B.
