Thoughtful, Kind, Curious, Fair-minded

Jodi approaches each client relationship with mindfulness and care. With her industry knowledge and local insight, she brings a calm simplicity to the complex process of home transactions. Having purchased her first home in 1999, she has since bought and sold multiple properties of her own and knows first-hand the joys and benefits of homeownership and real estate investment.

Over the years, Jodi’s tailored approach has earned her 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 1⁄2% of all real estate agents nationwide. You don’t have to read many client reviews to see how much Jodi’s clients value her kindness, authenticity, and integrity. With seasoned experience in beautiful design, effective marketing, and fierce advocacy, Jodi brings the complete real estate package to her clients.

After graduating from New College of California in San Francisco and getting her M.A. in Second Language Studies at the University of Hawaii, Jodi enjoyed a successful and satisfying teaching career, traveled around the world, and ended up in the lovely Bay Area. She considers herself blessed to be raising her children in the vibrant East Bay, where beauty and diversity in nature, people, and architecture abound.

Jodi’s volunteer experience includes tutoring children, teaching adult literacy, and working in a local women's shelter. Even today, she continues to engage in meaningful volunteer work. With each home transaction, Jodi and her team the Jodi Nishimura Group at Kai Real Estate donate at least $500 for each transaction to an organization of the clients choosing in their honor.

Jodi's favorite part of this work:
"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."

Josh Silverman

Realtor® | License ID: 01882355

Josh joined Kai Real Estate and the Jodi Nishimura Group to work with the best in the business and to have a platform to pursue all of his real estate passions: from helping a first-time homebuyer find the perfect place to being lead developer in a multifamily construction project for his investment partners.

Josh bought his first investment property in 2005 which is when he “caught the real estate bug” and has been working full-time in the industry since 2010. His primary markets are Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito and San Francisco. His primary areas of focus are the following:

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE, which includes single family homes, condominiums, TICs (tenancy in common), duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, make up the bulk of Josh’s business. Josh enjoys building relationships with homebuyers and sellers, studying the pros and cons of properties, arranging home improvements (pre-sale for sellers and post-sale for buyers), beautifully staging properties prior to going to market, and negotiating the best deals.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS is the second most active area of Josh’s business. Josh forms investment groups made up of individuals who pool their resources to buy properties they could not purchase on their own. Josh loves leading investment groups as he interacts with various government entities, tenants, lenders, general contractors, and the numerous other vendors required to run a project properly.

Josh was born and raised in Berkeley, CA, and after many years away, he settled back in North Berkeley with his wife and two sons. Josh graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in English literature, after which he went on to attend San Francisco State University and earn an executive MBA. Josh is an avid swimmer and hiker and loves to spend time with family and friends. He is passionate about the Bay Area and looks forward to sharing his enthusiasm for the region and all that real estate has to offer with his clients.

Josh’s favorite part of this work:

“Successful real estate transactions depend upon in-depth discussions with clients about what they need and thorough analyses regarding what the market will bear as it relates to the properties in question. The part of the business that I love the most is listening keenly to my clients and finding the sweet spot where those two points intersect. For me, success as a Realtor means knowing that I have truly helped my clients by delivering their wishes and creating value for them in today's competitive marketplace.”
