I am honored to work at The Janet Jones Company. I have always been in customer service and sales. I was a sales representative for BCBG, a pharmaceutical sales representative with Johnson & Johnson and publisher of the neighborhood magazine, Hillcrest Life. We raised our three daughters in Hillcrest and when our youngest graduated, I made the career move to real estate.
PRESSING QUESTIONS
What I learned from my first job
When you develop relationships with your clients, it stops being about sales. Instead, it becomes all about helping your clients.
Nonprofit I wish more people knew about
ViPS, Volunteers in Public Schools. I’m a passionate public school advocate! I am proud to say that I have been a volunteer for the past 13 years.
How I knew this was my passion
Having lived in Hillcrest for 27 years, I love my neighborhood, the homes and its wonderful people! It is such an amazing feeling helping others also find that love.
A skill I never expected to need in this field
Directional skills. I have NO sense of direction. No one wants me to drive when we have our weekly property tours!
One practice I use to maintain my mental health
Running. It clears my head every time. I love running through Hillcrest, although now it’s really just a slow jog.
Best advice I ever received
My childhood pastor who married my husband and me said, “Always think about what I can do for my spouse, not what my spouse can do for me”.
The one thing I wish people knew about my field
The importance of having a well-trained, experienced, full-time agent. At The Janet Jones Company, we offer comprehensive, concierge service and provide our clients with our signature legendary service.
Best career moment so far
What could have been a difficult process for my clients, worked out perfectly. By collaborating with our passionate professionals, I was able to help them close on their dream home!
