Jodi Rothman understands that effective real estate professionals must strike the right balance in every transaction. “You want to be aggressive but not overbearing,” she says. “This means doing everything in your power to provide solutions, but doing so with patience and respect for each client’s situation.”

Jodi’s ability to put herself in her clients’ shoes enables her to read what their needs and wants truly are. By keeping an open mind and giving an honest assessment of their situation, she aims to build trust and avoid any unwelcomed surprises. “Mutual respect is vital to a productive broker/client relationship,” she says. These values and Jodi’s interest in real estate were instilled at a young age, the result of watching her mother thrive as a successful real estate broker in Boston. Growing up around the business, Jodi always knew that it was a field she was passionate about.

After moving to Manhattan, Jodi soon realized that her love for real estate was matched by the electric energy of the city. By combining her passion for both with her vast sales experience, she saw real estate brokerage as a fitting career. Beginning with an on-site sales assignment at a luxury new development, she quickly rose through the ranks and has established herself as a Manhattan leader in high-end sales and rentals. Her experience has included some high-profile transactions, including renting an apartment to all-star New York Knicks point guard Baron Davis and working with MTV to rent an apartment for the star of their reality show, “The City”.

Jodi’s business stretches to all corners of Manhattan, where she has worked hard to learn the ins and outs of every neighborhood. As a resident of Greenwich Village, she has a particular attachment to downtown Manhattan and transacts a significant amount of her business in Soho, Tribeca and all parts of the Village. “I love that despite the size of New York City, I can still walk down my street and wave at people as if it was a small suburb,” she says. “Regardless of your background, what you do for a living or where you’re from, everyone in New York fits in.”

An avid runner, Jodi recently completed a half-marathon and plans on running the full New York City Marathon this November. She also enjoys spinning and rooting for her beloved Red Sox and Patriots, although she accepts that she’s in the minority in New York and doesn’t discriminate against Yankee fans.
