How long have you lived in Oregon? 
27 years

 
What do you like most about living in Oregon with children? 
I love that the metro area offers so many outdoor activities; the beach is 90 minutes one way and the mountain is 90 minutes the other way.

 
What is your favorite Oregon place/outing for families? 
My favorite thing to do is go fishing.  You can read a good book, swim, relax in the sun, play in the dirt and catch dinner all at the same time.
 

What was your inspiration for this business? 
I've always enjoyed keeping up to date with the real estate market and investing.  When I had my baby I wanted something that would enable me to spend more time with my child; I wanted to minimize her time in daycare.

 
What do you enjoy most about your business? 
In prior jobs, business was about getting as many people in and out of the door as possible; it was more about quantity and less about quality.  I got to know a little bit about a lot of people.  In this career field I get to do something I enjoy, and I really get to know a lot of really neat people.


What are the benefits of doing business in Oregon?
Having grown up in Oregon I've established a number of contacts.  Doing business in Oregon gives me an added reason to track down and keep in touch with old friends as well as meet new people.  I know the area and the people; it's great!

 
Any tips on how to balance work and family life?
I do as much as possible from home.  The most important parts of balancing work and family life are communication and organization.  If you don't have time to be organized or get things done you've got to make time or you wont reach your full potential.

 
How does/can this business (or your product) serve other Oregon moms?
I love my job, I like to meet new people, and I am very family friendly.  I have years of experience in finance and I am always happy to give advice, if asked.  I am firm believer in the golden rule.  There is nothing like sharing the experience of finding a new home; sometimes I think I get just as excited as my clients!  If you do a good job with people they are very likely to recommend you to someone else, often that is how small businesses grow.  If you are thinking of selling your home and you let me know you got my information from this site, I'll do a free market analysis and consultation on your home as well as offer a 1% off of the standard listing rate; that's thousands of dollars if you do the math.  Email Me at JessicaOBrienMelo@remax.net
