Alicia Jammer considers herself a real estate advisor. “I use the word advisor because it is my job to advise them on the entire homebuying/selling process so that they may make an informed decision with one of the most difficult-yet-rewarding purchases they will make,” she says.
Jammer loves helping people; she was looking for a career that could make an impact in the community. She realized that no one had thoroughly explained the real estate transaction to her when she bought her home in Houston in 2013. “The process seemed short and sweet and if you blinked, you were at the closing table,” she says.
She and her ex-husband had bought and sold a few homes in California, but she never thought about real estate from the agent’s perspective. Plus, both of her sisters work in the industry—property management and eminent domain coordination. “It seemed like real estate was the perfect choice for me,” she says.
Jammer started her real estate journey in 2014.
“I didn’t do a good job letting people know that I was a REALTOR® and this was my full-time job,” she says. “I was no longer a stay-at-home mom and I wanted people to take me seriously. So I struggled building my clientele and tried many different ways to build my business.”
Top producers advised her to not be a secret agent. They encouraged her to get out in the community, get involved, meet as many people as she could, and build off her existing relationships. She began using social media to show the world who she was, and clients started taking notice.
Today, Jammer is a residential sales agent with Compass RE Texas who has worked with professional athletes, business professionals, investors, and first-time homebuyers. She ended the second quarter of 2022 with over $4.7 million in sales as well as two pending deals over $1.8 million. She has earned her e-PRO and Accredited Buyer’s Representative designations.
Jammer is active in the Houston Association of REALTORS® and the Young Professionals Network. She also volunteers as an ambassador for Child Advocates of Fort Bend. She served as president of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Fort Bend in 2018.
“I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit,” she says. “Being an entrepreneur as a REALTOR® has allowed me the flexibility I needed to be there for my boys. I love my clients and navigating them through the process of purchasing or selling their home. It is truly a blessing to be a part of.”
