For Jodi Cohen Mekyten, real estate has always been about more than houses. It’s about understanding how people want to live and helping them find the right place for the next chapter of their lives.
With more than 22 years in Atlanta real estate, Jodi combines a lifetime of local knowledge with extensive hands-on experience in new construction and renovation.
Sandy Springs is home in every sense of the word. Jodi grew up here, watched the community evolve, and today lives and works in the area she knows so well. She also spent 16 years raising her family in Johns Creek, giving her a personal connection to many North Atlanta communities.
As a mother of two whose children attended both public and private schools, Jodi understands that choosing a home involves more than square footage. Schools, neighborhoods, commute, lifestyle and community all shape how a family experiences a home.
Her expertise in new construction and renovation provides another valuable perspective. Her husband, Shon, designs custom homes, and together they built their own home in Sandy Springs five years ago. Navigating plans, selections, construction decisions and unexpected challenges gave Jodi firsthand insight into the building process.
Professionally, Jodi works closely with local builders on luxury new construction, often participating from early development through completion and sale. These relationships provide insight into upcoming homes, sometimes before they reach the market.
Her construction knowledge also helps buyers recognize renovation potential and sellers determine which improvements will add value.
“I can walk into a house and see more than what is there today,” Jodi says. “I’m looking at the floor plan, how the home functions, what could be changed, what buyers are responding to and whether an investment will actually add value. I love being able to give my clients that perspective.”
Despite her luxury expertise, Jodi emphasizes that her business isn’t defined by price point. From first-time buyers to families building multimillion-dollar custom homes, her approach remains personal, hands-on and candid.
“I really love what I do,” she says. “Whether someone is buying their first townhome or building the home they’ve dreamed about for years, it matters to them…and that means it matters to me. I want my clients to feel like they have someone in their corner who knows the market, understands the details and will be honest with them throughout the process.”
As a REALTOR® with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties, Jodi pairs her personal approach with the marketing resources and reach of a globally recognized brand.
Yet her greatest advantage remains her connection to the communities she serves.
“I grew up here, raised my family here, and I built my own home here. I know these communities, and genuinely love helping people find their special place to call home.”
Whether you’re buying, selling, or building in Atlanta, Jodi Cohen Mekyten brings the local knowledge, experience, and personal attention to help you make your next move with confidence.
