W O M E N I N B U S I N E S S Success with Jess Real Estate's mission is to empower clients, whether it is their first or hundredth time buying, selling, or leasing homes, land, or even commercial spaces. On a larger level, it's about bringing others together, helping them connect, plug in, and share in a sense of discovery, pride, and ownership in our amazing community. It is incredibly humbling to be entrusted with such milestones and so thrilling to be alongside clients in various new life stages. What inspires your work? Handing a set of keys over to a client who has tirelessly worked for years to qualify to purchase his first home; holding a client's baby as she wipes away happy tears, signing on her new plat of land, breaking the cycle of generations of poverty in her family; accompanying a widower on a final walkthrough as he bittersweetly makes peace with the past and bravely embraces the future, or watching as an empty rectangle in a shopping complex magically transforms into a colorful, bustling new play center for children. What is your advice for women wanting to start their own business, go back to work, or start a new career? Find your inner grit, be fearless, know your value, and don't look back. There are hundreds of ways to channel your life experiences, strengths, and passions into a career that works for you. Strive for balance and excellence, not perfection. The metaphor of the airline safety protocol of putting your own oxygen mask on first before attempting to help others sounds counter-intuitive, but ultimately, it's essential.
