I hope this helps others seeking their new dream home at a reasonable and affordable price in today's crazy seller's market, as well as for any investor seeking experienced pros for their money! Here's my lengthy experience with both Jenna May and her very wise protege, Melissa Wilmier, under Jenna's tutelage.
Jenna May has been my realtor since 2018, protectively guiding me through what was a confusing, tedious & quite tiring process of finding & closing on my 1st ever personal home purchase at a later age iny life. As my trustworthy & very experienced agent, Jenna negotiated the price down from the list price for my home in Brighton so in 2023 my siblings & I asked her to list our beloved Pittsford home of 50 years...such beautiful memories there for us all! Jenna was able to stir up significant competition, garnering us an additional $175k above our original asking price!
So in 2024 I decided to try Jenna out in my investment RE search since she was already an extremely successful RE investor herself. Although Jenna has vast knowledge from many years in this business, she's also still extremely hungry to continually provide her clients with their own success stories.
She still has that hunger today, coupled with her fantastic knowledge of the business, which is one of the most important factors in my choosing her.
As I've told her myself, I still do not know how she runs such a client-driven business while also managing her realty firm as well as her busy family life... she's definitely type A in everything she touches and it shows in all of her accomplishments, albeit still providing me with the dedicated time and patience that I still need in order to continue growing my RE investment business.
Then along came Melissa Wilmier, Jenna's KW smart & diligent team member, who's already proven her ability to quickly learn all about my business & my personality to continue bringing me prospective higher income producing properties that my business needs right now. Melissa's current knowledge of what maximum purchase offers I should make in order to obtain the very best NCF has been so significant that I now ask her for all the numbers I need before even seeing a property so as not to waste precious time.
Melissa's super eager to continue learning more in this business & she's by far the most calm, cool and intelligent young person I've ever met. I wish I had known & done just half of what she has to offer when I was her age!
So because of those attributes & her knowledge of the Rochester market, I've come to rely on Melissa's RE experience & judgement quite a bit.
I plan on utilizing her more next year to hopefully find a slightly larger home for me in addition to finding more income producing investment opportunities to add to my portfolio.
Jenna's certainly the very best realtor I've ever come across, though Melissa's now definitely my go to person when I need to get the numbers & history on a property I'm interested in.
You can't go wrong with either of these two sharp go-getters!
