Jodi Summers Bio

With $100,000,000 in listed inventory, Jodi Summers understands the coastal commercial real estate market. A top producer with Sotheby’s International Realty, Jodi knows finance, rules, regulations, procedures and methods. She is accurate, knowledgeable, timely and aware of how government shapes the cities of Southern California.

Jodi is born in Brooklyn, raised in and around Manhattan – the family business was marketing, Madison Avenue style. Childhood math quiz questions calculated demographic and psychographic percentages or analyzed the allocation of adverting dollars. Word games were for devising slogans.

An honors graduate from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, Jodi moved to California to achieve her goal of living by the beach with a palm tree and a hibiscus bush in her yard.
She thrived as an entrepreneur in the entertainment, media and marketing industries. One of her books, “Marking and Marketing Music,” is in second edition.

“My marketing and communication skills have proven to be a true gift when it comes to promoting real estate,” observes Jodi. “And I am consistently able to get an exceptionally high price per square foot for my sellers.”

Discipline (Jodi holds a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do), organization, motivation, excellent communication skills and knowing & satisfying the needs of her clients have been her essentials for running a successful business. A passion for investment real estate explains her emphasis in asset-yielding properties.

Her team joined Sotheby’s International Realty for the company’s powerful brand and stellar reputation.
“We offer the broad market knowledge needed to assist clients in formulating a sound acquisition strategy,” Jodi amplifies. “Together evaluate various market, property types and local neighborhoods to devise a customized approach that meets each client's specific objectives.”

Jodi is a member of the Action Apartment Association of Westside income property owners, the Santa Monica Conservancy historic preservation society, The Ocean Park Association, the Friends of Sunset Park community group, the Real Estate Investors Club L.A., and the Culver City Rock & Mineral Club. Members of her team are fluent in Spanish and Italian.

“Our reputation ensures your satisfaction.”

My Comments

  • Profitability becomes more
    By October 1, 2008 - 10:34pm

    Profitability becomes more difficult every day. Agency overhead is high, and often time offices are fairly empty except for the paid staff. Companies will start crunching number and consolidating offices, or merging with other vendors.

  • Growing up, my parents

    Growing up, my parents often said that you should never spend more than 25% of your income on housing. Guess that was the last millennium. Best….

  • I do a lot of web marketing,
    By September 23, 2008 - 8:28am

    I do a lot of web marketing, with both local and regional sites. I’m running 5 blogs + 2 websites + more than a half dozen listing websites. All are linked together, and I do well in Google searches. 4 blogs are regional – I’d give you all the URLs, but I’d be accused of spamming. www.SoCalIndustrialRealEstateBlog.com is for industrial properties, then there’s one for office, multiunit + green. I spent my past as a journalist, so maintaining the sites comes naturally. Locally, I’ve got the www.SantaMonicaPropertyBlog.com and www.SantaMonicaLandmarks.com – which is a site and not a blog. They all draw in leads, depending upon your interests, but the Santa Monica sites definitely win on lead generation. Overall, the Landmarks site draws in the greatest number of hits + leads – people really enjoy the localized information on what to see and do in Santa Monica. It’s been a great tool. Today I have a listing presentation with an owner whose looking to sell a 1915 property that was used as a bath house. My websites have given him confidence in my skills and shown my understanding of the neighborhood, although we’ve yet to meet. Best….
