Kathi Jesse has a way of adding order to situations that are begging for it.

 

She has a way of bringing a sense of calm, organization, and resilience that creates an eye in the storm … a place where her team members and clients can find their bearings while the world spins around them.

 

As broker/owner of the Jesse Group at RE/MAX, Kathi provides a place where she can help those around her make all the pieces for their goals fit together.

 

“I love really putting the puzzle together for families. No two people are the same. No two circumstances are the same. Every situation is different. It’s fun for me to help them and put all those pieces together,” Kathi explains.

 

“It’s amazing how many people who have been told that they can’t buy a house. I have worked with a lot of brokers and have helped them successfully navigate. We really think outside the box to make sure everyone gets what they want and need.”

 

Kathi has always put her best foot forward and has pushed to expand her abilities by thinking big.

 

As an early example of that, when she graduated from college, it wasn’t long before she got into the insurance business. In time, she bought her father’s insurance agency — a role she enjoyed for seven years.

 

“During that time, I got into the real estate business as a loan officer,” she says.

 

Kathi was then instrumental in partnering with seven others to form Regency Real Estate.

 

“That’s when I decided to sell my insurance agency and get my broker’s license. I went full-force into real estate. I’ve loved it and never looked back.”

 

Kathi moved to join RE/MAX, the largest real estate company in the world. Since then, she has continued building and growing.

 

Along the way, she has earned 10 professional designations and two international certifications. In addition, she has been a top-level performer — earning the Diamond Award the past five years.

 

And if that weren’t enough, Kathi went on to earn her law degree in 2012.

 

While Kathi has earned a wide range of awards and accolades, she is quick to shine the spotlight on the members of her team and the way they serve clients each day.

 

“I am blessed to have a wonderful team of eight,” she says with a smile.

 

Away from work, Kathi enjoys the love of her family, including her husband, Mike, who is also a broker and licensed builder. Together, they helped launch the first RE/MAX office in Dubai through a partnership with other brokers by forming an international group called NAC, which was formed by Kathi and Mike.

 

She also cherishes time with her adult sons. In her free time, she enjoys golf and travel. Mike is a bourbon steward, so they also enjoy conducting bourbon tastings.

 

Kathi is on the board of directors for the Pathfinders organization, where she is vice president — and on track to serve as president in two years.

 

The group provides funding for the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Springs, as well as for Pathfinder Ranch.

 

“We do a big gala fundraiser where we raise $300,000 for those two organizations. They do a great job of supporting underprivileged kids,” Kathi notes.

 

In addition, Kathi serves on the board of directors for CVRWF, and has a big place in her heart for working on behalf of her military clients.

 

Truly, those who know Kathi appreciate the way she gives generously of her time and resources, with a straightforward, warm, God-fearing approach to helping those she meets.

 

Whether the people Kathi works with are clients who are striving to reach their goals or members of her team who are taking their own steps forward in the business, they all know they have a vital resource on their side — someone who is there to put the pieces together for them.
