“I enjoy what I do,” smiles REALTOR® Jennifer Wilson with RE/MAX Select. She is passionate about her profession as evident by her unwavering commitment to her clients.

Growing up in Houston, she attended Mount Vernon College in Washington D.C. to study Arts, Humanities, and Comparative Cultures. “I liked architecture and looking at houses,” she explains. Little did she know that years later she would have the opportunity to show houses as a REALTOR®.

In 1991, she moved to Albuquerque and got her license in March 1995. “I’ve been a REALTOR® for twenty-eight years,” she reflects. “I love it a little more than when I started. It’s always growing, changing and evolving with practices and different laws.” Fortunately, Jennifer stays on top of the legislative changes for her clients.

She also caters to their needs, eager to put her clients first and help them achieve their real estate goals. Jennifer comments, “My fulfillment comes more from what I’m able to give and do for my clients.” She loves meeting people’s needs, finding solutions that meet their budgets and beyond.

“I love figuring out what a person’s needs are and what their goals are,” she points out. 

Meeting those goals is what it is all about for this dedicated and driven real estate professional. Recently, she had someone relocating and eager to put down roots in New Mexico. Jennifer was eager to help her find her forever home, finding a place where she felt comfortable and where she felt she belonged. It’s not about a house to her, but a home. Finding a place where someone can put down roots and establish community and connection comes naturally to her. To date, Jennifer has lived in three different states and has relocated twice across the country by herself. She understands the challenges of moving and finding the right fit.

“I’m a little bit of a matchmaker,” she points out. “I like the emotional aspect of it too.” Moving and relocation can be an adventure. Jennifer is there to help every step of the way. From start to finish, she is there for her clients with her heart of compassion and eagerness to lend a helping hand.

Negotiating also comes easily to her as a savvy and strategic problem solver. She competes with herself and is always pushing herself to be her best. One thing she can’t control, however, is the market. “It’s my biggest challenge,” she says. “It’s ever changing. You study it, reinvent yourself, do whatever you need to do for your buyers and sellers.” Being aware and being present is essential in real estate with the changes in the market in recent years.

In addition to helping her clients, Jennifer takes joy in helping the community. She explains, “I started a scholarship for women for higher education. I take ten percent of my income and donate it to help women get through college.” She started this passion project in 2021.

 

“It’s important for me to give back,” she says. “I don’t have children. I started with one young woman who has had a lot of challenges, but a lot of passion and intelligence. I felt drawn to help start a scholarship and continue to do so. I want to help other women achieve their goals.”

 

When Jennifer isn’t working, she loves to garden with her green thumb. “I do mostly veggies and herbs,” she shares. Lately, she has taken an interest in succulents with the hot temperatures. Another pastime of Jennifer’s is cooking. “I also like jewelry making and design,” she adds thoughtfully.

 

In addition to her gardening and cooking, Jennifer works with an investment group that does flips. When they go into a dilapidated home, they don’t see a problem. They see promise and potential. Restoring houses from messes to masterpieces comes easily to them. “I don’t think of that as work,” reflects Jennifer. “It’s just something that I love to do.”

 

To relax, you can find Jennifer swimming, doing yoga, and soaking in hot springs. “Water is how I relax,” she says. “My dream is to buy a piece of land and realize it had a hot spring on it.”

She also likes traveling, visiting Houston several times a year. “I also go on sister trips three times a year,” she comments.“Two of my sisters are my best friends,” she says. “No matter what, we have each other’s backs.” Dealing with their Mom’s aging and care brought them closer together as sisters. 

 

 

Jennifer has stood the test of time in real estate. Her longevity speaks volumes to the level of client satisfaction that she has built over the years. Her work ethic has served her well. As she says, “I’m a keep my head down and work kind of person.” She loves her career in real estate, finding fulfillment in helping others.
