Today, Noah and John sit down with Brooklyn real estate powerhouse Jessica Peters of Douglas Elliman. With nearly two decades in the business and over $1 billion in closed deals, Jessica brings a sharp perspective on the Brooklyn market — from Fort Greene to Bed-Stuy — and shares what it takes to succeed, grow, and stay sane in today’s ever-shifting landscape. Jessica dives into neighborhood trends, buyer behavior, new development strategy, and why staging and data matter more than ever. Plus, she breaks down the mental side of real estate: setting boundaries, building confidence, and learning to walk away from bad business. It’s a mix of tactical advice and real talk from one of the best in the game today.
