Jacob Louchheim

Jacob's passion for the real estate business is what drives him to achieve for both himself and his clients. "I have a love for this city, its people, places and buildings. Each is unique, and requires an agent who appreciates those individual differences in order to offer the best solutions." Always fascinated by buildings, homes and design, this passion is what has led him to the one of a kind Ansonia.

To Jacob there is nothing more rewarding than bringing people to their new homes In addition to working in real estate Jacob is also an opera singer and actor, Jacob knows that having a good attitude makes all the difference. "Positivity is the name of the game. When you have that and an honest opinion, you can't lose."
