About Jennifer

Jennifer Portnoy grew up in the real estate business in Marina del Rey. When she finished college in 1996, she returned home, got her real estate license and has been selling real estate there ever since. When it comes to Marina del Rey, nobody knows the community better than Jennifer. She consistently sells more properties on the Marina Peninsula than any other agent, team or brokerage year after year. Throughout her 24-year real estate career, Jennifer has sold more than 250 properties on the Marina del Rey Peninsula, many homes on the Silver Strand and properties in the surrounding Westside communities. Growing up in the neighborhood and living close by, in combination with actively working the area, Jennifer Portnoy has her finger on the pulse of the market at all times. She truly knows the Marina area like the back of her hand, including its businesses, traffic patterns, homes and new developments. She has been inside every condo and apartment building and countless homes, as well. Due to her intimate knowledge of the Peninsula, she is able to explain clearly to both buyers and sellers the value and nuances of each property. “When clients share their wants and needs, I can provide detailed, realistic advice and all available options because I truly know what’s out there, what’s available and the realities of our community, Jennifer says, “I understand the trends and can have very honest, productive discussions about our market, helping clients to achieve their goals efficiently and realistically.” Jennifer spent her early years accompanying her single mother to showings, presentations and open houses. Dedicated to a legacy of excellence, she works diligently to ensure her clients receive the ultimate in terms of modern technology and highly responsive service. “I watched the area grow from a sleepy town to the vibrant and dynamic community it is today. I love this area and believe it is home to the most wonderful people in the world.”

She makes the process of buying or selling a property seem effortless

Jennifer is simply the best! She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. She makes the process of buying or selling a property seem effortless. Also, Jennifer provides extra support when it comes to inspections or repairs. I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer. Without reservation, I highly recommend Jennifer Portnoy.

I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate

Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with on the sale of our multi-family residential property. She and her team were responsive and professional throughout the entire process, from our initial discussions through closing. Jennifer's real estate expertise, broad level of experience, extensive contacts, and ability to effectively communicate and negotiate on our behalf were very impressive. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate!

Jennifer is the very best

I've worked with many real estate agents, Jennifer is the very best. She’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, and caring. I highly recommend her. I’ll provide examples. Jennifer said she’d help us with finding contractors to make the changes we wanted in our unit. She not only did that she acquired multiple bids for us to review. She told us that the purchase of the unit was not the end of our relationship. She’s right. It’s just the beginning!

You will never find a better agent, guaranteed

i have bought and sold a number of properties over the past 35 years, and Jennifer Portnoy, a consummate professional, is by far the best real estate broker i have ever worked with. she is knowledgable, tenacious, has great relationships and years of experience with the best vendors, inspectors, handy men, you name it! she was the seller's agent on a piece of property that we bought several years ago and i immediately took a liking to her and decided then and there that if i would work with her at every opportunity. she is kind, positive, sets a good tone and has a great sense of humor. you will never find a better agent, guaranteed.

Jennifer was/is extremely knowledgeable

When I first realized I needed to sell I was petrified, emotional & had no practical experience selling a home.. Jennifer was/is extremely knowledgeable clever and told me not to worry because she “really likes to help people in trouble”. That is her nature! She kind but strong and tells you when you need to make changes you hadn’t considered having to make. She also has incredible taste & can take your existing furniture & with almost a slight of hand can move things around & add just the right props that can make you home look like an entirely new place. It’s hard to express just how much I respect her work ethic integrity good taste and natural abilities and I feel very grateful to her. She is the best!

Jennifer is awesome !

Jennifer is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. She made the sale process enjoyable. She even went beyond what we expected of a real estate agent - she is not your average agent. She is efficient and effective in getting the property for market and managed all the workers in our absence. She is also a Venice/Marina Del Rey long time resident and absolute gem when it comes to local knowledge. We highly and unreservedly recommend her.
