New York Magazine counted Jacob Goldman among the “Neighborhood Changers” on its list of “The Influentials,” the people whose “ideas, power, and sheer will are changing New York.” And a New York Times article declared: “LoHo Realty, Jacob’s company, hatched in 2000, is the No. 1 broker for the [Co-op Village] 4,500 apartments.” Jacob arrived in the neighborhood in 1995, “a young law student, ready to start a family and drawn by the low rents.” He couldn’t have picked a better time. In a few short years, the co-ops on Grand Street voted to privatize and Goldman, reading the writing on the wall, founded his brokerage firm, LoHo Realty. The name, which stands for Lower than Houston, soon became synonymous with the real estate explosion of Co-op Village. Today, some 15 years later, Jacob and his family still live in Co-op Village, and LoHo Realty continues to be the leader in local real estate.
