Janine Acquafredda, CRS, ABR

With nearly two decades of experience in New York City real estate and a background in financial advising, Janine brings a unique combination of market knowledge, financial insight, and strategic guidance to every real estate transaction.

A native New Yorker and award-winning Associate Real Estate Broker, Janine began her real estate career in 2007 after spending nearly a decade as a Financial Advisor. She understands that buying or selling property is not simply a real estate decision...it’s one of the most significant financial decisions a person can make.

Recognized for her industry expertise, Janine has been quoted in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and numerous real estate publications. She has also appeared on multiple episodes of HGTV’s House Hunters and previously served as an instructor at the Real Estate Education Center.

Beyond her work with buyers and sellers, Janine has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to real estate education, professional leadership, and advocacy. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Board of REALTORS®, is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), helped launch and served on the board of 2 New York City chapters of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), and served as a Legislative Director in the New York State Senate in 2026, contributing to real estate legislative initiatives.

Janine holds the prestigious Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation and the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation, reflecting her commitment to advanced professional education and client representation.

Her professional relationships extend throughout the United States and internationally, allowing her to assist clients with relocations and connect them with trusted real estate professionals beyond New York City.

Passionate about her community, Janine founded REALTORS® 4 Rescues in 2012, an initiative dedicated to promoting pet-friendly housing policies, supporting animal rescue, and helping pets affected by housing and relocation challenges.

For Janine, real estate is about more than property. It’s about helping people make informed decisions, protect their investments, and move confidently into their next chapter.
