"Jessica’s energy, knowledge, negotiating skills, and commitment to her clients have rewarded her with a very successful business. She's closed 60 transactions and almost $20 million in volume by the end of 2021, placing in the top 2% of over 30,000 area realtors. With 100 percent of that business coming from repeat clients or referrals, Jessica has never paid for leads and she’s committed to growing an organic clientele. [...] In lieu of advertising her business, Jessica invests that money back into her clients, hosting various appreciation events like the “Portraits in the Pumpkin Patch” event she hosted recently."

Our Company: Southwestern Real Estate exists to challenge the status quo of what services and knowledge consumers and clients expect to receive. Through market expertise, strong negotiation skills, and managing the drama of real estate transactions, our agents are building a successful referral-based network of loyal clients. We work to make the home buying and selling process understandable and predictable, helping clients transition smoothly into their next home. Each Southwestern agent is a key member of a close-knit team who wants to see each other succeed. Implementing the skills and principles of the Southwestern Advantage program, we understand the marketplace is best served with agents who are knowledgeable, service-minded, disciplined, emotionally strong, and superior communicators. These qualities are rare and, therefore, carry great value. A Little About Me: I work in and around the western suburbs of Chicago. I offer community education via presentations on renting and first-time homebuying. I've received my Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation as well as my Pricing Strategy Advisor certification. The enthusiasm my clients have in referring me to friends and family after each transaction is the most rewarding aspect of being a real estate agent.
