About Janine Acquafredda

After spending almost 10 years as a Financial Advisor, Janine entered the real estate industry in 2007 and began helping people with the biggest financial transaction they will ever make...buying and selling real estate. An Associate Real Estate Broker and a former teacher at the Real Estate Education Center, Janine has sold over $300,000,000 in NYC real estate alone. She has appeared as a real estate source in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, on various real estate and financial websites, authors the widely popular Facebook page, Brooklyn Real Estate and has also appeared on several episodes of HGTV's House Hunters. Janine founded Realtors 4 Rescues in 2012, a non-profit that aims to educate other real estate professionals about the importance of getting landlords to "say yes to pets". The project has evolved into actually finding homes for animals displaced by relocation and landlord issues. Janine was recently honored by Star Media as one of Brooklyn's Powerful Women in Business for her contributions in the real estate community and for her non-profit, animal rescue work.
