Instructor

Jennifer Kuhn, Owner, JLK Sales Group brokered by eXp Realty  
Hired in April of 2015 by an institutional investor to run their Ocean County Sheriff Sale Auction team, Jennifer Kuhn served as Team Leader and has been involved in over 200 short sales since 2006. She directs the entire process, from identifying assets to evaluating and determining their after-repair value, along with finalizing purchases. Once awarded, she would visit the asset to determine if cash-for-keys negotiations are needed or if she can gain access. From there, she would begin evaluating ARV and completing a full BPO. Kuhn says the experience has perfected her skills in overall evaluation of assets and seeing any possible "red flags" that could stall a sale. In these years, it has expanded her knowledge in perfecting the as-is value of an asset and the repair value and construction bids. In 2018, Kuhn created the JLK Sales Group and became the team leader of the successful real estate team.
