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.

Median sales price climbed 8% year-over-year, but that figure is doing some heavy lifting: luxury activity above $3M was up 10%, while median price-per-square-foot only moved about 2%. So the mix shifted, not the underlying values.

• Signed contracts were down 11% YoY, indicative of where Q2 is headed
• Brooklyn was more susceptible to Iran War-related disruption — flat pricing, softer sales, and looser inventory (albeit loosening from all-time lows).

Check out one of the most controversial townhouses in Upper East Side history...

In 1956, architect Edward Durell Stone — the man behind MOMA — bought a conventional 1878 brownstone, tore off the entire façade, pushed the building forward to the lot line, and refaced it with floor-to-ceiling glass shielded by a sculptural concrete grille of intersecting circles and squares.

Neighbors hated it. Architects fought about it for decades. When Stone's widow tried to remove the deteriorating screen in 1987, the Landmarks Commission slapped her with a violation — and Robert A.M. Stern personally argued to preserve it. The screen was rebuilt in 1999 and the house is now part of the Upper East Side Historic District. It last sold in 2015 (looks normal on the interior!) and today it's home to Gladstone Gallery. 

Which side are you on — modernist masterpiece or block-ruining eyesore?
