"Going to the Coliseum to see the Rams, we never missed a game. His parents helped cultivate his love of sports at an early age as season-ticket holders of the Los Angeles Rams, which shaped his early passion for athletics and competition."
"I failed because I didn't know what I was doing. The commission was only $6,000 for each property, but at the time, that would have doubled my net worth. Early setbacks on his first two listing appointments taught him humility and motivated him to develop marketing scripts and practice dialogues repeatedly with his wife."
"A 23-year-old in the office, I was rare. Nowadays, with reality shows and things like that, you get a lot of people going right into real estate. It's a young man's game. Cohen reflects on entering residential real estate directly after college graduation in 1990, noting how uncommon this path was compared to today's industry landscape."
Jordan Cohen, 48, serves as estate director for RE/MAX Olson & Associates in Westlake Village and has represented over 50 professional athletes including Kobe Bryant, Reggie Bush, and Pete Sampras, along with numerous celebrities and Hollywood executives. He brokers annual real estate transactions exceeding $100 million. Cohen grew up in the San Fernando Valley as a Rams fan and played offensive lineman at Granada Hills High School despite his 5-foot-7 stature. After graduating from Cal State Northridge in 1990, he entered residential real estate at age 23, which was uncommon at that time. His early career included failures on his first two listing appointments for $200,000 homes, experiences that motivated him to develop marketing scripts and practice dialogues extensively with his wife. Recently, Cohen became a founding partner of Kings & Jaxs, a men's underwear company featuring NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook.
