Our Team
Meet The Team Behind Gaede Real Estate Partners
Jeanette Gaede
Founder
Ms. Gaede was raised in Villanova, PA and attended Radnor High School. She went on to play Division One lacrosse for Lehigh University and earned her BS in Accounting. Post-graduation she earned her CPA certification while working in accounting and finance. She then leveraged her analytical skills to transition into real estate in 2013. Having worked on both the advisory and principal side of the business, Ms. Gaede developed a deep understanding of opposing objectives and how to utilize partnership agreements to align interests and produce results. She is a seasoned multifamily real estate executive with experience spanning acquisitions, development, asset management, and capital markets. She has executed 80+ transactions totaling more than 5,600 multifamily units nationwide, partnering with leading developers, institutional investors, and high-net-worth individuals.
Before founding Gaede Real Estate Partners, Ms. Gaede opened the Boston office and served as Chief Investment Officer – U.S. Real Estate Investments for a Munich-based private equity company, overseeing $1B+ in active development projects and leading investment strategy, underwriting, and asset performance. Her career includes leadership roles in both entrepreneurial and large-scale institutional environments, giving her a unique ability to blend hands-on execution with strategic insight.
Respected for her integrity, direct communication style, and solution-oriented approach, Ms. Gaede is a trusted fiduciary partner who anticipates both opportunities and risks. She brings disciplined underwriting, deep market knowledge, and long-standing industry relationships to every engagement — from sourcing and structuring to successful exits.
Years of negotiating real estate deals have prepared her well for her toughest and most beloved counterparties: her three kids. Outside of work, she can usually be found on the sideline of a Needham athletic field with her husband and at least one of their children.
GREP Investments
We place LP and GP capital for multifamily investment and development opportunities, creating critical alignment with our partners through co-investment. GREP investment professionals have decades of capital markets and development experience and can be your strategic advisors in multifamily.
- GREP Advantage: We build lasting value by partnering only with high-integrity developers and investors, applying rigorous due diligence to both projects and people — an approach that fosters trust and serves as a core risk-management driver of long-term, sustainable returns.
- Problem: There is a structural misalignment of interests between investors and the large fund format. Investments are sold when it’s best for the fund’s promote, without consideration for the investor’s tax burden. Heavy fees and limited discretion erode risk-adjusted returns.
- Observation: Institutional investors dominate the multifamily development space, leaving family offices underserved. Their options include: building an in-house team, investing in a large fund, or participating in one-off local deals.
- Solution: GREP Investments provides a tailored pipeline and investment model aligned to each client’s tax strategy. Clients can invest directly into joint ventures tailored to their needs, with GREP co-investing alongside them. Ongoing asset management protects performance, drives value, and enables exits at the right time — for the investment, not the fund.
