Jessie Grandpre

I graduated from Willamette University then entered the work force at a corporate law firm in Seattle. I subsequently taught English in Japan and Special Education in Seattle and traveled around the world. I have worked, studied in and traveled to 70 countries. Traversing the world has demonstrated to me how fortunate I am to live and work in the Pacific Northwest.In 2006 I teamed up with my mom, Sally Boge, who was a successful real estate broker. Sally was a great mentor and I quickly learned all the intricacies involved with real estate transactions. Sally and I made a powerful team for several years. Sally retired in 2011, knowing our clients are in excellent hands. I have been involved with approximately 440 real estate transactions.I am happily married to Ted, and I have two French Bulldogs, Whiskey & Barley. I love travelling, playing tennis and exercising, reading, spending time with friends and family, dogs, happy hours, wine-tasting, scuba diving and attending classes on various topics related to real estate (seriously!).I thoroughly enjoy and excel at the many different components involved with being a successful realtor: marketing, negotiating, pricing, real estate contracts and legal aspects, market and trend analysis, staging, matching people with homes and properties, communication and problem solving. I have earned the Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Certified Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource, Certified Negotiation Expert and Accredited Staging Professional designations. Working as a real estate broker is a great match for my skill set, energy level and personality. I can't think of anything I'd rather do than represent home buyers and sellers!
