Douglas Jewell

Douglas Jewell brings a unique perspective to the business with his background in surveying and having built two homes for himself from the ground up. As an active environmentalist, smart growth advocate, and former newspaper reporter, he has accumulated a keen knowledge of zoning, planning, infrastructure, land use, and future trends in the county.

Douglas specializes in finding commercial properties for buyers, especially restaurants and bars, motels, apartment buildings, and Boardwalk enterprises. He has a good command of profit/loss requirements and debt service, justifiable property upgrades for increased profits, and which businesses have been under-utilized or poorly managed and show future increased profit potential.

Douglas also works with developers who are attracted not only to his expertise in finding the right property, but also his understanding of building requirements, infrastructure needs and the complicated permitting process.

Douglas has earned the prestigious GRI designation - which stands for Graduate Real Estate Institute - a degree held by less than 5 percent of all realtors nationwide. He followed that by continuing his real estate education and earning his broker status.
