Jenni Boller
Century 21 Kearney & Associates
Lubbock Real Producer Jenni Boller came to her brokerage, Century 21 Kearney & Associates, from a fateful transaction with Ann Kearney when the two women clicked while working across the table in 2019. Jenni was just one year into her real estate career when her sister-in-law bought Ann’s uncle’s home. After the closing, Jenni met with Ann for breakfast and later decided to move to Ann’s brokerage. “The Kearneys are so caring, loyal, and always have my back,” Jenni shares. “They have mentored me through some tough transactions and celebrated with me countless times, too.”
Jenni always considered working as a REALTOR® but didn’t dive in until 2018. Since her early 20s, she knew the value of owning real estate. “I put real estate on the back burner for 15 years, though, because going out on my own and being self-employed was a scary thought when all I’d ever known was working an 8-to-5 with steady pay and benefits,” she says.
Before real estate, Jenni worked in the utility field. During her career, she worked as a dispatcher and a SCADA operator before transitioning to a substation electrician role in 2015, becoming the first woman in the operations department. She worked with high-voltage lines, breakers, relay systems, and transformers that power the city of Lubbock. Even in such an accomplished role, the thought of a real estate career never left her mind. “In 2018, I couldn’t wait any longer, so I quit my job, took the classes online, and never looked back,” she reveals.
First-time homebuyers are special to Jenni because she can guide them through the unfamiliar process. “First-time homebuyers are my jam,” Jenni declares. “Seeing them at the end of the process with a home they are proud of is an unmatched feeling. I feel things big, too, including all the nerves, excitement, and pride right alongside them, which makes my heart so full.”
Jenni’s overarching passion in her work is helping people, no matter what feelings or circumstances they bring to the closing table. “I know it sounds cliche, but helping people and doing what is best for my clients is my passion,” she remarks. “Success means being the one who people come to for help. I like being the one people think about during their time of need. It means I am doing something right.”
When Jenni is not serving others in real estate, she is spending time with her family, thrifting, relaxing by the pool, listening to true crime podcasts, and watching reality TV. Jenni married her husband, Les, in 2008. Their daughter, Lilah (12), is a creative old soul who loves to draw. “We love going to the movies as a family and having game nights with friends,” Jenni mentions. “My daughter and I go to plays together. We love the Lubbock Community Theater.” Jenni feels most grateful for her family and friends who support her.
Though Jenni wishes she had started real estate sooner, she is full steam ahead for her future in the industry. “I am in this for the long haul,” she asserts. “Consistently working to build my brand and get my name out there, I plan to grow every year. I look forward to being the kind of mentor for other agents that I now know I needed in the beginning.”
Jenni’s future also includes launching a new podcast called Weird Real Estate with a friend. “We are combining our interest in all things real estate and weird or scary stories, too,” she explains.
Jenni remains as excited about the future of real estate as she was when she first committed to the industry. With a creative spirit and a servant’s heart, she is poised to make the Lubbock market bright.
