Our leadership.

Cedar Oak has completed more than $5 billion in transactions across multifamily, office and hospitality assets. Jay brings a background in brokerage and marketing to the firm’s work with property owners and investors.

Jay leads the firm’s transaction strategy, buyer qualification and market selection. He works with Cedar Oak’s brokerage and underwriting team to evaluate opportunities, understand ownership priorities and guide transactions from the first conversation through closing.

Before founding Cedar Oak, Jay negotiated and closed more than $1.5 billion in transactions across the Southeast and Midwest at Rosewood Realty Group. He developed what he calls the “hybrid method,” combining direct, off-market engagement with a targeted competitive process when an opportunity calls for broader exposure.

Outside real estate, Jay’s interests include music, sports and philanthropy. In 2020, he raised $500,000 in 10 days for mental health advocacy. He lives in New York City.
