Realtor. Property Manager. Project Manager. Investor.
Your Partner from House to Home
Hi, I'm Jessica.
I bought my first property in my early 20’s. It was a condo, and I had no idea what I was doing — but I learned. From there I bought foreclosures, worked through renovations, and found out firsthand what makes a property perform and what quietly drains money. I got my real estate license in 2015, but by then I'd already spent years on the other side of the table, spending my own money and living with my own decisions.
That's still how I think about every home I touch.
Before real estate, I spent years in healthcare management. Taking care of people under pressure isn't new to me.
I work in two distinct capacities. As a REALTOR® and property manager licensed with Northbay Property Management & Real Estate Sales, I represent buyers and sellers and manage rental properties for owners and investors. Separately, I own and operate House to Home Real Estate Services, LLC, an independent project management company that oversees renovations, flips, and updates for property owners.
They're separate businesses, but they inform each other constantly. Walking contractors through renovations means I can tell a seller which improvements return money and which don't. Managing rentals means I know what tenants actually pay for. Buying my own foreclosures means I've made the expensive mistakes already, on my own dime.
Willow Park
The clearest example came early. From 2010 to 2013 I served as President of the Board of Directors at Willow Park, a 58-unit townhome and condominium community in Rohnert Park. I'd bought a unit there as a foreclosure — as an investment, not a home — and then life shifted and I ended up living in it.
What I found once I was inside the community was real trouble: depleted reserves, years of deferred maintenance, assessments going uncollected, and no lender willing to finance a purchase there. So a handful of us organized. We replaced the management company, went after years of delinquent dues and recovered close to $200,000 for the association, put the water on submeters so owners paid for their own use instead of the association covering everyone's, and worked through the backlog of property needs — roofs, siding, landscaping.
None of us were paid. I was working full time with a long commute and doing board work early in the moring before my job, and in the evenings and weekends. What we were paid in was equity — and not just mine. Every owner in that community watched their home become worth something again. It took three years, and by the end Willow Park was FHA-approved, had reserves again, owners becaome hopeful and reengaged with the community. This also meant, families could buy there and now call this community home, instead of only investors.
That's still the work I find most satisfying: taking something distressed and making it somewhere people want to live.
What that looks like for you:
• Buying or selling — strategy before the sign goes in the ground, and honest counsel on what's worth doing first.
• Owning rentals — thorough screening, real follow-through, and straight answers about where your money should go. Several of my management clients and tenants started as sales clients and never left.
• Renovating — a project manager who thinks in resale value and rental appeal, not just finishes.
A Bay Area native, I grew up in Marin and Contra Costa Counties and have called Sonoma County home for 27 years. I know these neighborhoods block by block — Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Cloverdale, and out to the coast. I also own rental property in multiple counties in the state, which keeps me honest about what it actually takes to be a landlord.
I've held a 5-star rating on Zillow and Realtor.com for more than 11 years. My clients tend to come back — and then send their friends and families.
Whether I'm guiding an investor toward the right opportunity, managing a complicated renovation, helping a renter start their housing journey, or walking a family into their first home, the approach is the same: professionalism, follow-through, and a real interest in seeing people get where they're trying to go.
A little more about me….
When I'm not working, you'll find me at a baseball field watching my son play, or chasing the Giants to ballparks in other states. I camp, I hike, and I take full advantage of everything Sonoma County has to offer. I love hosting — friends, family, a good table, a long evening. And I've traveled through a lot of countries, because I'm endlessly curious about how other people live, cook, and make a home, as I would say, “Creating their nest”.
Giving back matters to me. I coordinate volunteers to assemble care bags annually — socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, gloves, even dog food — for our unhoused neighbors. I also support One Safe Place in Redding, which helps women leaving domestic violence move from shelter into stable housing. Helping someone find a home they can actually keep is the same work I do every day; it's an honor to do it there too.
