Jared Cohen: Queer Eye for the Straight Real Estate
Jared Cohen, Nest Seekers International Broker:
Queer Eye for the Straight Real Estate
May 16, 2005 - Jared Cohen, Nest Seekers International real estate broker, has the straight scoop on the New York real estate market for the discerning gay investor and home owner.
“Gay men and women – whether single or in couples – often have a larger discretionary income. I work with my gay clients’ tastes and needs and show them neighborhoods and first and secondary investment and vacation homes in New York City, the Catskills, Fire Island and Florida that fit their unique style,” said Jared.
Jared Cohen mixes professional experience in event planning and hosting gay-friendly events and work with top theatrical producers such as Daryl Roth, the producer of Pulitzer Prize winning plays such as “Wit” and “Proof,” and “Hairspray” producer Adam Epstein – to match clients with homes that speak to their dramatic and theatrical personalities and flavor.
The gay communities in New York City and throughout the U.S. are well-known for their art shops, restaurants, bars, clubs and retail spaces. Shows like “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and “The Christopher Lowell Show” emphasize the decorating and design flair of gay men. Jared Cohen explains that he has a “Zagat’s Guide” - like eye for what makes New York City culture move and pulsate.
“Unfortunately, gay couples and individuals have to deal with the undercurrent, or sometimes overt, discrimination against them when it comes to housing,” continued Jared. “I am very sensitive to gay needs and housing rights and have the knowledge to work with them to make the best real estate decisions that impact their future.”
Jared works with a team of over 150 Nest Seekers International brokers and agents that are trained to be sensitive to cultural, religious and diversity issues in the real estate market/. He has traveled the world extensively and uses this knowledge to enhance his sensitivity to Nest Seekers global real estate clients and investors’ unique needs.
