Meet Jacob

Serving Manhattan & Brooklyn

Jacob is a successful and experienced NYC real estate advisor. Over the past decade, he’s helped more than 90 buyers and sellers achieve their goals, totaling over $80M in sales volume, and has closed 100+ rental transactions.

For sellers, Jacob’s marketing strategy is best-in-class. From narrated video tours and custom listing websites to broad social media campaigns and tapping into his network of buyer-agent peers, he consistently delivers top-dollar results with minimal stress—often outperforming similar listings. For buyers, his approach is thorough yet relaxed, grounded in deep market knowledge, skilled negotiation, and access to upcoming and off-market properties.

Jacob splits his time between Ft Greene, Brooklyn and Miami Beach with his wife Sarah and their two daughters: Blake, a sharp and spirited three-year-old, and Robin, an eight-month-old just learning to stand. In his spare time, he enjoys scavenging toys at Underhill Park with Blake, sipping a beer at Beer Street with other baby-wearing dads, going to the theatre, watching college football, and playing so-so chess.

Jacob is always available at 917.708.8088 to assist with any real estate need or question.
