Jennifer, a native New Yorker, has been involved with design, interior architecture and the real estate world in various capacities for nearly two decades. She attended the internationally renowned Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in the early 90’s where students helped influence the design of future buildings on campus, to partnering with retail entrepreneur Stephen Simon of Simon Ventures on a Retail Concept; and from collaborating with architect Clive Wilkinson on a Workplace Solution for GLG.

The exposure to such a breadth of complex real estate transactions combined with a decade in the luxury market as Creative Director for Burberry, Jaguar, Mercedes, Estée Lauder and Paul & Shark, has proven for the perfect foundation to uncover opportunities, deliver the sophistication required and to create exceptional value and solutions for all of her client’s need.

Jennifer’s affable nature, tireless work ethic, grit and extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods of NYC makes her a go-to for anyone looking for a residence to call home or discreet clients looking to list their Penthouse off-market. In keeping with the belief that every client’s needs are unique, she says “the formula for success is being genuine and transparent” - the result is in making deals seem easy.

She is honored and humbled to have recently joined one of the most successful and unique teams at Compass. The LYON PORTER Team & Creative Studios crosses the gamut from Residential Brokerage to Interior Design; and from Hospitality @urbancowboybnb & @divemotel to Real Estate Ventures.

Jennifer’s brings to the team not only her creative background but a deep understanding of PropTech. From Co-Living and Blockchain to Prefab and Sustainable Living to Net-Positive Homes. And, unlike other agents, she has provided creative guidance for the largest real estate investment trusts (REITS) including Apollo Global Management, Brookfield Properties, Park Hotels & Resorts and KKR RE.

Outside of real estate, Jennifer can be found roaming the galleries in Chelsea, browsing the aisles at the Strand, walking the High Line with her partner and their twin daughters or spinning @Peloton. She is a member of the PTA at NEST+M, a volunteer with Free Arts NYC and is a proponent of STEAM education and eventually wants to create a community art center for at-risk children.
