My Story
From Real Estate Broker to Home Guide
I started my real estate career in California, moved into a leadership role at Century 21 in Idaho, and eventually earned my Managing Broker license in Spokane.
Over more than 20 years and three states, I walked through thousands of homes. I saw firsthand which updates added value, which projects homeowners regretted, and which spaces made people fall in love with a home the moment they walked through the door.
When I left real estate, I didn’t leave behind what I learned. I created Home Hero Jen as a place to share practical home improvement ideas, outdoor living inspiration, and real-world advice homeowners can use with confidence.
