Meet Jodi
Jodi Kruse brings over a decade of dynamic real estate experience shaped by a strong foundation in lending, finance, and investment. Based in Reno, she serves clients throughout Northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe region, including Incline Village, Truckee, South Lake, Zephyr Cove, and beyond. Her wide-ranging expertise includes residential, luxury, commercial, and investment properties—making her a trusted advisor for first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and high-profile clients alike.
Jodi’s real estate journey began organically while working in finance, when she found herself helping clients navigate the complexities of short sales during the housing crisis. The experience sparked a passion for real estate and a commitment to helping people through pivotal life decisions. Since earning her license in 2012, she’s never looked back.
A lifelong learner and strategic negotiator, Jodi holds certifications as a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).
She’s known for her prompt communication, deep market insight, and ability to simplify even the most complex deals. One of her most notable achievements includes representing a buyer in a $10 million commercial transaction that made headlines in the Reno/Sparks community.
Clients describe Jodi as real, relatable, and results-driven. Her attentive, human-centered approach ensures that every client feels heard, informed, and confident from start to finish.
Outside of real estate, Jodi is deeply committed to community service—serving on the Board of Directors for Grafted Kitchen, a nonprofit empowering at-risk youth through culinary training. She also fosters rescue dogs, talks to her houseplants, and never turns down a good road trip. A graduate of the University of Phoenix with a degree in Business Management, she lives and thrives in Reno with her dogs by her side. Most recently, she hiked Mount Kilimanjaro and volunteered at the Amani Children’s Home in Africa—a journey she describes as truly life-changing.
