Jennifer Portnoy

Recognized by The Wall Street Journal and RealTrends as the #1 Realtor in Marina del Rey, #306 in California, and #986 in the United States, Jennifer Portnoy is one of the most accomplished and trusted names in coastal Los Angeles real estate.

For 29 years, Jennifer has been a leading Compass Realtor in Marina del Rey, known for her deep community roots, record-setting sales, and unmatched local expertise.

Born and raised in Marina del Rey, Jennifer literally grew up in the real estate business. After earning her degree in 1996, she returned home, obtained her real estate license, and began what would become one of the most successful real estate careers on the Marina del Rey Peninsula.

When it comes to the Marina, no one knows the community better. Jennifer has sold more properties on the Marina Peninsula than any other agent, team, or brokerage — year after year. Over the course of her 29-year career, she has represented more than 250 homes on the Marina del Rey Peninsula, numerous listings in the Silver Strand, and properties throughout Venice, Playa del Rey, and Santa Monica.

Living and working in the neighborhood she serves gives Jennifer an insider’s understanding of local market trends, new developments, and property values. She has been inside nearly every condo, apartment building, and single-family home in the area — giving her clients a true competitive advantage whether buying or selling.

Her clients value her honest advice, strategic marketing, and deep neighborhood knowledge. Jennifer takes pride in offering realistic insight and transparent communication:

“When clients share their goals, I can immediately outline what’s available and what’s possible because I know this community inside and out,” she says. “I understand the trends, the streets, and the nuances that affect every transaction.”

Jennifer’s passion for real estate began early — accompanying her mother to open houses and presentations throughout the Marina. That experience shaped her lifelong dedication to excellence, client service, and professionalism.

Today, Jennifer continues to blend local expertise, cutting-edge marketing tools, and a client-first approach to help buyers and sellers navigate the Marina del Rey real estate market with confidence.

“I’ve watched this community evolve from a quiet coastal neighborhood into the vibrant, world-class destination it is today,” Jennifer says. “I love this area and believe it’s home to some of the most wonderful people in the world.
