My life is fueled by a
profound passion for serving others and
making a positive impact on my community.

 

A proud Pacific NW native, I am
intimately acquainted with the fabric of local
life – its people, its treasures, and its countless
opportunities. My sociable nature thrives on
connection, and I embrace the roles of an
active listener and clear communicator, values
that underpin the ability to forge authentic bonds.

Aptly dubbed the “queen of resources and
connections” by my clients, I bring an extensive
bag of “hats” I wear to the world of real estate.

I seamlessly meld a vast reservoir of industry
knowledge with a deeply personalized touch,
ensuring that every individual need is met.
My specializations encompass an array of real estate experience and knowledge.
From guiding first-time home buyers, strategizing with investors, building with developers, to facilitating
seamless relocations for those venturing from
afar. I’m also known to expertly navigate the intricate
terrain of down payment assistance programs,
grants, and investment opportunities.

Jessica's Testimonials

The Adams Family. "My wife and I just moved to the Portland area and got so lucky finding Jessica. It's our first time buying a house and she worked with us and literally within 5 days of being here, we were able to find a house, make an offer, and have it accepted at asking price which still feels near impossible in this market in 2022. Jessica was always warm, helpful, and fought tooth and nail for us during negotiations! I highly recommend her for your home purchasing process." -Taylor Adams

“Get a realtor that works for YOU and your vision, not just the commission check!”. "Jessica Ward is professional, prompt and great at advocating on her clients behalf. We were able to get an accepted offer within 1 week of hiring her as our realtor. Being first time homebuyers we were unsure of the contract process. She negotiated a significant credit and a below asking purchase price. We are very happy with the amount of equity in our home and her service overall. I would definitely hire her again. Highly recommend. Get a realtor that works for YOU and your vision, not just the commission check! Go with Jessica." - The Ward-Mejia Family
