About Jeff

JEFF HANDwerger loves real estate, fine architecture and negotiating the best possible deal for his clients.  His experience runs from real estate development, construction management and real estate appraisal.  He is extensively networked with developers, seller and other agents.  Approximately 30% of Jeff's transactions are off-market and never find their way on to the public internet.

Due in part to Jeff's integrity, he has solid relationships and connections with industry leaders in development, architecture, construction, interior design, investment and finance. Jeff knows what prep work should be done to garner the highest price for your property. His team will oversee these preparations to streamline the process for you. As a buyer, he will advise you as to the benefits and detriments of a particular property. He can also help you create a vision as to what a property could become.



BALANCED APPROACH . . .

As a practiced yogi, Jeff understands the importance of balance and flexibility during what could be a potentially stressful time in your life.
