Jodi Krauss was born and raised in Parsippany, New Jersey. Growing up, she worked in her family’s many restaurants before deciding to attend the University of Miami, where she met her husband, Mark. Jodi’s grandparents lived in South Florida where she spent many vacations. After graduating from the University of Miami with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education in 1980, she decided to settle in the “Sunshine State” and call Florida home. Jodi went on to become a National Board Certified Teacher, retiring after an extraordinary and fulfilling 30-year career. A Florida resident now for over 44 years, Jodi has developed and fostered many friendships and business affiliations that have not only benefited her but those close to her as well. Mastering the skill of multitasking as a teacher, her detail-oriented manner, and the tenacity with which she tackles every task, makes her the perfect partner for anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a home.
