Have Yourself A Beautiful Day, Ya Here!

By Jamis Minnis, October 11, 2021

Who did this? Because I want to Thank them. Some days, I take an afternoon stroll with my partner. We take several routes, depending on our mood. We walk slowly.  And my partner can be found, well, smelling the flowers. My partner really appreciates things like that. And I, in turn, really appreciate that about her. I, on the other hand can be found gazing at roofs, siding, and paint color choices.

But there is one house, a very very very fine house that we pass often. The flowers can’t be overlooked. They stand radiantly bright and center. They seem to kindly extend their petals like open arms and say “Have yourself a beautiful day, ya here.”  Every time I pass this house, I feel gratitude and wonder what simple thing I can do to make this subtle impact on strangers in my day to day.

She/They

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:
