With a diverse professional background and a passion for client-focused service, Jen brings a unique approach to her role as a Broker Associate. Before entering real estate, Jen enjoyed a 16-year career as a financial trader, developing expertise in risk management, investment strategies, and pricing analytics—skills she seamlessly applies to real estate transactions. She later honed her operational and process management abilities while building financial models for manufacturing firms. These experiences have shaped her into an organized and detail-oriented professional, dedicated to creating efficient systems that enhance the client experience.

Jen’s journey into real estate began with her own investments in her 20s, which sparked a passion for building portfolios and helping others do the same. Since becoming licensed, she has leveraged her financial and operational expertise to guide clients through buying and selling with a highly organized and informed process. Jen thrives on opportunities to learn and improve daily, embracing the ever-changing nature of real estate and the chance to make a meaningful impact in her clients’ lives.

Originally from Chicago, Jen moved to Austin in 1989 to attend the University of Texas and has called it home ever since. While her career in finance took her away at times, she always found her way back to Austin’s vibrant community. Jen lives with her husband, Darren, and their beloved Border Collie, Jacks. Outside of work, she enjoys playing tennis, pursuing her passion for pottery, and reflecting on her achievement as a three-time Ironman finisher.

Why is it important to you to partner with a local brokerage?

Partnering with a local Central Texas brokerage ensures that my clients receive the best possible guidance, as we deeply understand the unique dynamics of the Austin market. A local brokerage fosters strong community connections and resources, enabling me to serve my clients more effectively. It’s important to me that my clients remain the top priority, which is why I appreciate being part of a brokerage that aligns with that value.

What is your favorite local spot and why?

First Light Coffee Shop in Hyde Park is my daily hangout. It’s more than just a place for great coffee—it’s a much-needed community gathering spot where I can connect with neighbors and clients alike.

Is there a local cause that is important to you?

Family Eldercare holds a special place in my heart. When my family was navigating care for my father-in-law, their guidance was invaluable in helping us make informed decisions during a challenging time. Managing elder care alongside life’s other responsibilities can be overwhelming, and the services Family Eldercare provides are a vital resource for our community.
