Jacob Carlile

Jacob Carlile is a second-generation Australian real estate agent, entrepreneur, and investor. Whilst studying for his Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Finance and Accounting at the University of Southern Queensland, Jacob worked in financial services with Morgans, Australia's largest national full-service stockbroking and wealth management network.

In December 2019 Jacob joined the family business full-time as a director, a business he has been a part of since day one (2002). Alongside his father, Leon Carlile, and business partner, Greg Riehl, Hot Property has grown to be the largest independent real estate agency in the Toowoomba region.

In addition to his work in real estate, Jacob is an entrepreneur, public speaker, and author, having published his first business/self-help book at age 21, The Dynamics of Change.

Jacob himself purchased his very first investment property at age 19 and strongly believes that by investing in real estate alongside his clients he can most truly serve them and not just "talk the talk" but "walk the walk". As a Director of Hot Property, Jacob leads Marketing and Business Development as well as the growing Property Management division. Jacob was awarded Rising Star Property Manager of the Year by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) at the 2021 REIQ Awards for Excellence.

Jacob was born in Toowoomba, Queensland, where he was raised and schooled. He still calls Toowoomba home with his wife, Nicole, who also runs her business in town, Freedom Lifestyle & Fitness.
