Originally from Wiesbaden, Germany, Jake immigrated to Palm Springs, CA, in 1999 after graduating from Business School with a degree as a Merchant of Land and Housing from one of the largest commercial builders in Germany. The knowledge he gained in this position, coupled with his strong desire to help buyers and sellers accomplish their real estate-related dreams, led him to successfully focus solely on residential real estate in Palm Springs and the surrounding areas (Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, La Quinta) starting in 1999. With a combined 39 years of experience in purchasing and selling real estate, he is often described by past clients as "very detail-oriented" and excels in negotiations, as well as effectively educating home buyers and sellers regarding the real estate transaction process.
