A Bit About Me
Jasmine Nazari
Brooklyn, NY
Hello, I'm Jasmine.
​
I'm sweet with a spine, hardworking to my core, and blessed with a memory sharpened by years of Persian parental boot camp.
​
My love for real estate wasn't something I discovered—it was something I inherited through hands-on equity, helping my parents with their projects. My Mom is skilled in accounting, design, and detail. My Dad is incredibly resourceful, a visionary, and a great builder. I had to start and find a place somewhere between these two worlds and beings. Sorting screws in middle school, helping install dishwashers in high school, demo on weeknights, property management on weekends — my version of homeschooling while attending Lycee Francais by day, then International High School later on. Those moments shaped my worldview before I found a meaningful home with my team at Urban Green Investments. I've also always been fascinated by the intersection of the individual, culture, geopolitics, and economics. If I hadn't been bitten by the real estate bug first, I'd probably be knee-deep in international politics.
​
I joined Urban Green Investments in 2013, fresh from UC Davis with an MS in Soils and Biogeochemistry. I started as an assistant to the CEO and worked my way up to Partner at 29, then to Chief Operating Officer within three years. Now I have the privilege of steering operations, fundraising, and business development—always with an eye toward strategy, efficiency, and relationships built to last.
​
Service isn't a sidebar; it's central. I've volunteered on farms and in shelters for nearly a decade, sponsored two children from elementary through high school at my Auntie's orphanage in India, mentored nine young professionals within Urban Green, and am now actively supporting four recent college graduates as they find their footing. It's an honor. To me, life is about love, abundance, betterment, getting things done, and leaving an imprint of love on others.
​
I work in five languages—English, French, Farsi, Spanish, and enough Japanese to get by—because real connection moves everything forward, and there's something special about speaking to people in their language. When I'm not working, you'll find me cocooned in love and giggles with my beautiful Mr. Boos, working out, dancing, reorganizing things that don't need reorganizing, advancing my most recent fix-and-flip, or planning a dinner party.
