Renovation, Relationships, and Real Talk with Jacob Wood

Today, Noah and John sit down with Jacob Wood of Coldwell Banker Warburg, an NYC real estate advisor known for his sharp market insights and no-nonsense approach to building business. Jacob shares why Manhattan home values have stayed flat over the last decade, how co-ops vs. condos shape buyer psychology, and the underestimated value of renovation projects. He dives into strategies for mastering submarkets, crafting powerful outreach letters, and explains why mastering both deal mechanics and business generation is key to success. Great stuff!
