With nearly 20 years of experience, Ms. Jones brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry and, in particular, to her area of expertise, the real estate market of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. When asked why she decided to pursue a career in real estate, Ms. Jones said:
"I met my former broker through a job in retail. I was working for a boutique, and I was very successful selling clothing. I was really good at matching people with clothes and nice styles. He recognized that this skill might translate well to his industry and he told me, ‘You would be great selling real estate.’ So I went and got my license."
Since making the transition, Ms. Jones has emerged as one of the premier real estate professionals in Tuscaloosa. She has worked her way to become a member of the Council of Residential Specialists, to which only the top 5% of Realtors in the nation belong. She is also a past recipient of The Women’s Council of Realtors Alabama Chapter Member of the Year Award. Ms. Jones is a Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI), an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®), and a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). She currently works with The Advantage Realty Group where she was named Tuscaloosa’s 2013 REALTOR® of the Year.
As a thought-leader in her field, Ms. Jones is uniquely positioned to identify emerging trends in Tuscaloosa’s real estate market. In particular, she has noticed an influx of young buyers in the region, many of whom feel a connection to the University of Alabama. She noted:
"Younger people here are trying to invest more. They see the value and know that we are a town with university students. Many of them, once they graduate, they want to buy something as an investment. So that way they can come back for football games. So the market in Tuscaloosa really has been going up, up, up, especially as younger graduates go into buying investments."
When she’s not working on a real estate deal, you might find Ms. Jones training for her next race. An avid runner, she recently traveled to Vienna to complete her fortieth marathon.
