The team
Jenifer fell in love with The Brokerage House in 2011 and quickly became a big part of the future of the firm. Mentored by Bob Simmons and nurtured by Sandy Simmons, she gained knowledge and experience that was complimented by her work ethic and innovative ideas. From professional staging and unique marketing idea to creative buyer strategies & very personalized customer service, Jenifer ensures a world class experience for all of her buyer and sellers. Working for the small, yet mighty Brokerage House was a natural fit for this small town girl with big ideas. Now the proud co-owner and associate broker, Jenifer is excited to mentor agents and grow The Brokerage House to ensure that it serves the community for generations to come.
Sandy Simmons has been the backbone of The Brokerage House for over 20 years and she is now the Principal Broker and Co-Owner. Crossing T’s and dotting I’s is her specialty! Sandy can read legal descriptions and contracts like some would read a juicy novel- she does not miss a thing! This is crucial to her agents and clients. Her warm heart, wise mind and thoughtful attention to detail is a HUGE part of what makes The Brokerage House what it is today!
In 1980 Bob Simmons partnered to establish The Brokerage House, INC. Over 40 years later his requirements of excellent customer service, ethical agents and smooth transactions, are still the cornerstone of The Brokerage House. His rich history in development (both commercial and residential), in and around the Jackson area, has had a profound impact, that will be felt for generations to come! A constant mentor, Bob stays on board at The Brokerage House to ensure that the community is being well served, and quite frankly we refuse to let him fully retire!
As a commercial Airline Pilot, I have been lucky to explore the world and meet new and interesting people. Aviation taught me many great lessons. Such as, patience and communication while working with many diverse groups of people. Time management and problem solving skills during weather and maintenance delays. The resilience to complete the mission, getting family, friends, and loved ones to their destination was always my best reward. Being a pilot has also allowed me time freedom to pursue other interests, such as, coaching my children’s sports teams, working on home projects, and now a career in real estate. I am one of the lucky ones to have been able to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a pilot. I am equally lucky for the opportunity with The Brokerage House family, where I can help you find the perfect home or business location. Their 40 plus years of experience was built by establishing relationships based on trust and the commitment to deliver value. The real estate industry is a complex changing environment much like the airline industry. My professional training and experience will help meet all of your real estate needs. How can I help?
