Jean Melford Mankoff (who goes by her nickname, Gigi) is a top-performing sales professional with over 20 years experience. She brings a unique blend of business and design experience to the real estate industry.

Gigi is an award-winning real estate professional whose breadth of transactions ranges from blue-chip, multimillion-dollar residential properties to well researched realty in up-and-coming neighborhoods. Gigi has also worked with real estate developers and investors in both the valuation and marketing of residential properties and conversions.

Prior to her career in real estate, Gigi worked in the high-end packaging industry, focusing on consumer products. With top-level sales positions at divisions of International Paper and the Mead Westvaco Corporation, she advanced to sales management with responsibility for a major profit center specializing in entertainment packaging (music, home video, software and multimedia games).

"Over time, my love of great graphics expanded to love of architecture, interior design, and homes," Gigi explains. "I can envision how a space works best for an individual or a family. That skill serves me as both a buyer's and a seller's broker."

Gigi's favorite compliment came from one of her sellers. The couple wrote, "You are not only a sharp business person, but you have a huge heart too."

"People are happy when they know you have their best interests at heart and the capability to get the job done for them. But just as importantly, I am satisfied, not to mention gratified, when I have added value to my customers' lives."
