Jacob Wood

Jacob is a terrific RE agent. My husband and I wanted an apartment with a Hudson River view. Over about 3 years, Jacob took us to look at many places. Although we rejected many apartments, Jacob continued to be very patient. He always made himself available to show us new apartments that came on the market and also looked for opportunities that were not yet on the market. When we finally found the perfect apartment, Jacob shepherded us through the complex coop application process, helping us to craft an application that enabled us to buy the apartment. My husband and I recommend him without reservation.

I cold-called Jacob after getting a mailing from him. I wasn't yet ready to sell but wanted to move in that direction. He didn't push, but checked in periodically, and he thoughtfully moved the process along at my sluggish and uncertain pace. He helped at every step -- recommending a stager, volunteering to pick up small things, dealing with sudden starts and stops. I got solid offers fairly quickly, and he helped me settle on the best one. But it wasn't until I saw the incredible video he made of my apartment that I saw how shrewd and soulful he was in his job. He has vision and he sweats the small stuff.

Selling and buying during a pandemic...in 2020!

After several years of considering whether or not to sell our home (and look for a larger space), we interviewed seven real estate brokers and found Jacob to be the perfect fit for us. He has a hi-level of professionalism, deep knowledge of the entire process, seems to have an intuitive knowledge of the psychology of buying and selling apartments (making him an excellent negotiator), he was willing to try new approaches to sell our home, and he promptly picked up the phone every time we called. In short, he went many extra miles to make sure we were happy.

We listed our home just a couple of months before a pandemic. Jacob was a huge help as we prepared our home for people to see it, in listing the home at the right price, and in attracting A LOT of potential buyers. After just a couple of weeks in the market, we had our first couple of offers.

Unfortunately, we needed to take our home off the market for a couple of months due to the pandemic. We realized that this was going to be an extra stressful experience, and we're happy that we were working with a broker who we really like. Jacob pivoted and decided the best way to maintain interest in our home was to create a well-produced video so people can see what it looks like and a digital 3D model of the home and to help them feel the space virtually. This helped us attract even more offers. When people were actually able to tour the house again in person, it didn’t take long for our home to go into contract.

At the same time, we had our eyes on several homes to buy and, after nearly going into contract with two of them, Jacob saw our desperation in finding a place that suited our needs. He reached out to a buyer who had taken their home off the market to see if they were still interested in selling, and that's where we just moved into. We even had to renegotiate the price a couple of times, but I had full confidence in Jacob‘s ability to get us closer to and price that worked for us.

While everything seems to take way longer during a pandemic, Jacob made this process go smoothly and efficiently. We had full confidence in his advice, which paid off. I don't think we will ever move again but, if we do, we'll reach out to Jacob without hesitation.

My husband and I met Jacob at an open house last year. We were not quite serious about moving and selling our home. I initially was nervous about the whole process. We had an immediate good feeling about Jacob. He took the time to explain the entire buying and selling process to us - even discussing possible risks. He is quite knowledgable about the market. We decided to sell just before the pandemic. We managed to have a few weeks of open houses and we were already entertaining offers on our place. During the NY State COVID pause Jacob was in constant contact with us, brainstorming creative ways to market our home. We were so grateful for his expert advice and brilliant video marketing material. Jacob sold our home as soon as the real estate market opened this past summer. Additionally, Jacob found us our dream home!! He managed to make an offer on our behalf on an off-market home in our dream location. We are so happy in our new home, and we are pleased a new family found our old home. I highly recommend Jacob without reservation.

Jacob sold my apartment in a challenging market, making himself available to show it at a moment’s notice and holding open houses every weekend, his enthusiasm unflagging. He is hard-working, forthright and articulate, unfailingly pleasant. He kept me informed throughout the negotiation process and I would not hesitate to recommend him as a broker for either a purchaser or seller. His market updates are informative and on-point.
