Raised on a ranch in rural Montana, Jesse moved to the Puget Sound over four years ago. He has spent the duration of that time in the real estate industry, specializing in marketing resale residential property. Known as a man with many friends and few acquaintances, Jesse enjoys working with home buyers because he believes in fostering relationships with his clients that extend beyond the purchase of their home. In turn, Jesse's clients appreciate his easy demeanor, his open communication, and his compulsive tendency for honesty.

Jesse has a degree in English Literature from Montana State University. It was at MSU that he met his wife Kami, who works as a Cost Estimator for the Boeing 787 Program. Jesse is also a publisher writer, and although social and professional demands on his time have limited his creative desire, he is constantly under pressure from friends and family to write more. In his free time Jesse prefers to listen to music, update his personal website, watch movies, attend wine tastings, and fellowship with friends.

"Jesse knew what I was looking for, knew my price range and diligently worked until we found the perfect deal.  He knows I make quick decisions and was so proactive that he even brought completed Purchase and Sale Agreements with him when we looked at properties so we could make an immediate offer.  Jesse was always on time for every meeting we had, always super nice to work with, very honest and trustworthy and very easy to get hold of.  I absolutely will work with him again." - Kim Brady

"Jesse brought an element to the Realtor-Client relationship that we've never encountered before.  His friendliness, flexibility in accommodating our schedule, and honest nature made us feel very confident that we were getting the best that Re/Max or anyone else could offer.  He demonstrated determination and patience in helping us look for our dream home.  Ultimately, he found it and made the process of buying the home very easy with his attention to detail, incredible knowledge of his trade and around-the-clock availability. Jesse also sold our home.  Not only did we get a verbal commitment from a buyer on the first afternoon it was on the market (and a subsequent offer just a couple of days later), but we were able to get an offer for more than the listed price as a result of Jesse's hard work.  Jesse made the process of selling our home as easy and pleasurable as purchasing our new home.  I can't imagine a more fulfilling experience in home buying and selling." - Alvin & Heather Smith

"Jesse, I want to thank you for all of your help in this whole house thing! You have been absolutely fantastic and I appreciate all of the time you have put in. We couldn't have asked for anything better with any of it!  You have helped things to run so smoothly, especially when things have been so hectic with us and we may not have been the easiest people to work with at this crazy time in our lives.  It is definitely a time I will never forget, as well as how good you have been to us.  Thanks for EVERYTHING!" - Jodi & Kyle Smith

"Jesse, thanks again for all your help. Your constant positive attitude, continual contact and updates made this a comfortable experience. I am convinced that your extensive marketing efforts were the key to getting our unusual property sold. I calculate that we netted $15,000 more by listing with you than with the other agents we interviewed! You can be sure we'll be referring all our friends and acquaintances to you." - Achaessa & Miguel Garibay

"For two months, we looked at various houses in the area yet were unable to find one that we both agreed upon and were interested in placing an offer on. Jesse remained incredibly patient with us; and finally, in January of 2006, we found the house and immediately placed an offer. Jesse structured our offer in such a manner that we outbid the other three offers by a mere $500! Being the "sellers' market" that it is, we considered ourselves incredibly fortunate! Just two weeks later, Jesse helped sell our Redmond condominium. In only two days, we received six offers on our condo; and in the end, we received over $20,000 more than the listing price. We were both thrilled and amazed!' "As both a Buyers' Agent and a Sellers' Agent, Jesse is invaluable to the process of buying and/or selling a home.  We could not be more pleased with the outcome of the purchase of our new home and the sale of our condo.  Thanks for everything, Jesse!" -  Tetsu & Carrie Liew
