Jan Nastri
Principal / Broker
With more than five decades of experience in real estate investment, development, and brokerage, Jan Nastri has built a career defined by vision, growth, and community impact.
After graduating from college in 1973, Jan Nastri earned a real estate license and began working with Longley-Jones, a leading brokerage in Syracuse, NY. That same year, he purchased his first distressed property at a tax auction, marking the beginning of a lifelong passion for real estate. Soon after, he partnered with his cousin to convert an old nursing home in Baldwinsville, NY into 15 apartments—a project that sparked continued acquisitions, developments, and property investments across Central New York.
In the mid-1980s, Jan Nastri founded Nastri Real Estate, opening a small office on James Street in Eastwood. His brother, Joe, later joined the firm, while architect Robert Abbott partnered in commercial design and development projects. Together, they expanded the company’s footprint, serving clients in both residential and commercial markets.
In 2006, Jan Nastri brought Keller Williams Realty to the Syracuse market, affiliating with the nationally recognized franchise based in Austin, Texas. At the time, Keller Williams was the fifth-largest brokerage in the U.S. Today, Keller Williams Syracuse, a sister company to Nastri Real Estate, has grown to more than 130 licensed associates and continues to thrive as part of the world’s largest real estate company by agent count, transactions, and volume.
Throughout his career, Jan Nastri has remained committed to innovation, professionalism, and helping clients and investors achieve their real estate goals.

Our History
Nastri Real Estate was built on a foundation of hands-on investment, development, and long-term growth in the Central New York market.
What began in the 1970s with early property acquisitions and redevelopment projects evolved into a full-service real estate and property management company.
In the mid-1980s, the company formally launched, expanding its reach across both residential and commercial properties.
Over the years, Nastri Real Estate has grown alongside the region, building a trusted network of partners, refining its management approach, and consistently delivering results for property owners.
Today, the company continues to operate with the same core principles it was founded on: reliability, transparency, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
