New York Magazine counted Jacob Goldman among the "Neighborhood Changers" on its list of "The Influentials," the people whose "ideas, power, and sheer will are changing New York." And a New York Times article declared: "LoHo Realty, Jacob's company, hatched in 2000, is the No. 1 broker for the [Co-op Village] 4,500 apartments."
Jacob arrived on the Lower East Side in 1995 and he couldn't have picked a better time. In a few short years, the co-ops on Grand Street voted to privatize and Goldman, reading the writing on the wall, founded his brokerage firm, LoHo Realty. The name, which stands for Lower than Houston, soon became synonymous with the real estate explosion of Co-op Village. Today, some 21 years later, Jacob continues to be the leader in local real estate. Since 2000, LoHo has executed more than 1,500 transactions continuing to affirm the Times' assertion that LoHo Realty is the primary Co-op Village broker.
Jacob Goldman brings to the table his vast experience with all aspects of the real estate transaction--as attorney, seller, buyer, and broker. He is an expert on co-op closings and offers rich, first-hand knowledge of interacting and negotiating with the co-op boards. He is well versed in the co-op by-laws and the reconstitution plans drawing on that vast knowledge every day to meet the needs of his sellers and buyers.
