Jodi Nishimura is a top producing East Bay Realtor® and the founder of Kai Real Estate.
Jodi has earned several distinctions both locally and nationally. Most recently, she is in the top 1% of Realtors® for the East Bay and was a recipient of Real Trends America’s “Best” designation — landing her in the top 0.5% of all real estate agents nationwide.
Jodi and I talk her upbringing in Hawaii, her background in education, and her eventual move to the Bay Area after stints in Japan, and New York. Jodi's journey into real estate started as an investor, then as a Realtor®, culminating more recently in the founding of her own brand, Kai Real Estate, with an office on Solano Avenue in Berkeley.
We talk about the value of coaching, the mental block that local Realtors® sometimes have with recognizing themselves as sales people, her decision to launch Kai Real Estate, why it is that Kai is attractive to newer licencees, the value that Realtors® bring to their local community, and the value and benefits of working with Jodi.
In Jodi's own words, her favorite part of the work is "The gratification of helping clients make wise decisions that impact their future, the gratitude and humility that comes with being trusted by them to do so, and the joy in partnering with them in this part of their life’s journey."
