Charmed I’m Sure!

By Jamis Minnis, August 23, 2021

From the moment we stepped in this home I could hear it in my clients’ voice. It wasn’t like any of the others we had seen. This must be the place. Room to room, “Oh my gosh, this home just keeps surprising me.” was all I could hear. It was immaculately kept. Original Vintage Charm Galore. This was going to be competitive, but hey, I’m an Aries, I love a little competition. I knew I COULD NOT LET THEM DOWN. Not these two! And not on my watch. I pulled out all stops, hit the listing agent with a little bit o’  Ja-mo charm, wrote a wonderfully competitive offer, and voila. Here we are closed, after a short 21 days. Calling your clients to let them know that they are in contract NEVER gets old. I’m so VERY excited for these two. Or shall I say four. Great work team. Congratulations! This home is STUNNING!

In this competitive market, never underestimate great communication, great coaching, teamwork and trust.

I'm just out here trying to be the Simon Biles of Real Estate. I'm a BIPOC Realtor. A QTPOC Realtor. A Foodie. A Concert/Music Festival Enthusiast. A Community Organizer.  Double Majored in Psychology and Business.  And now I'm AN AWARD WINNING REAL ESTATE AGENT YA'LL! I've had consistent Top Notch Sales & Stellar Client Reviews while helping buyers and sellers navigate the rigorous real estate market. I consider myself to be achievement/detail oriented, proactive, and financially savvy. I enjoy taking complicated ideas/info and making them accessible to others. Get ready to learn everything you didn't think you needed to know about real estate. I'm nerdy about numbers and homes, but also fun. Like, a fun nerd, if you will. I bought and restored my home, a 1917 craftsman and my 1951 rehab home with perseverance, creativity, resourceful thinking, NERDing out on Real Estate stats, being strategic in negotiating, and having integrity, I plan to do the same for you. I've been able to help countless clients with their home buying process. I run a fully transparent, encouraging, fun, but tight ship that's ready to educate you and advocate on your behalf! Housing has always been important to me. It's more than where the heart is, it's where we feel secure, build connection, Gather, Giggle, Grow. Over the years, I have managed a 350 bed International Hostel in downtown San Francisco, worked for Habitat for Humanity with Americorps NCCC, volunteered on the Katrina mass home rebuild in New Orleans, and provided landlord tenant advocacy in the non-profit sector. All roads leading to finally being a Real Estate Agent. Being an agent at Living Room Realty affords me the opportunity of being a home matchmaker. Meeting awesome clients that will soon have a home that meets their needs, their livelihood, and their dreams. Planning on selling your home? Great, I can help you with that too. I am especially excited to work with first time home buyers, folks with marginalized identities (Queer/LGBTQIA, BIPOC, QTPOC), and any folx that would like to have a fun supportive agent throughout their home buying process. I want to make sure you not only buy a home that's cute, but make sure that cute home has GOOD BONES TOO! When I'm not scouting new properties, I'm generally with my favorite person, my partner Camille. Together we are goofy cute and treat each other with sweetness. You should see us y'all. *Camille is also a therapist, so if the process gets overwhelming or stressful, don't worry, we've got you. Others reasons to contact me:
