find & create your wonderland
Hello! I'm Jen, your dream home advisor & local licensed real estate agent based in Bed Stuy. Having grown up in Brooklyn, Queens, & Lower Manhattan, I have a deep understanding of the city’s ever-changing neighborhoods. Combined with my sharp eye for design & development, I am able to stay ahead of the curve in finding the right home my clients.
Inspired by my own challenging home-buying experience in 2013, my mission is to provide buyers & sellers with a positive, and well informed experience. In 2019, I officially made the switch from 16 years of working in Production, Ops & Sales at various creative agencies, to this nuanced world of real estate.
I am not your typical real estate person. More of a one stop shop -- with my experience in buying & selling to get to closing; management of repairs & staging for sales; assisting through any approvals needed to close for buying (e.g. banks & boards); and even providing support in renovations to really make their dream home come to life post-sales. The journey doesn't always end at closing.
As a proud homeowner & landlord, I have extensive experience in property management & home renovations – from DIY projects to hiring & working with contractors & trades(wo)men. I've experienced the good, the bad & the ugly and hope to help everyone avoid the latter-- clients, neighbors, family & friends alike.
Working with both buyers & sellers, I offer a unique perspective, often providing tips & tricks to maximize the potential of any space. Drawing on my production background, I skillfully & respectfully negotiate deals to close with my clients' best interests in mind, while simultaneously navigating clients through the buy & sell process no matter which side of the deal they are on.
With buyers, I am a matchmaker of sorts. Factoring a wishlist of things we typically start with, and inevitably whittling it down to the priorities that work within their budget, if it boils down to that, which it often does. I love the challenge of finding a match & helping clients see properties in new ways. I especially love exploring homes of all shapes & sizes, with a particular appreciation for Brooklyn brownstones.
For sellers, my Marketing & Design expertise takes the front seat. I deliver invaluable insights & innovative approaches –- from pricing strategies to styling & staging homes to stand out in a competitive landscape. I collaborate with my sellers to transform their spaces (oftentimes tapping into my own personal interior design collection to stage), maximizing the property's appeal to get the best deal for my clients.
If you are considering buying or selling your home, get in touch! I'd love the opportunity to work with you.
