A Christmas (Home) Story!

By Jamis Minnis, December 31, 2020

OMG!
Sometimes you have a transaction that just makes your heart smile.
When the sellers and buyers are mellow and aligned.
It’s more of a passing along of a torch than a purchase.
A big congrats to my clients who just scored a really sweet home on the day before XMAS.
I am really hoping no creatures were stirring, specifically and not limited to a mouse.
My clients were wonderful to work with and grateful to find themselves in such a wonderful location.
Clearly my clients were NOT on the NAUGHTY LIST.
Thanks Santa!

I'm just out here trying to be the Simon Biles of Real Estate. I'm a BIPOC-Queer Realtor. A Foodie. A Cat-Dad. A Concert/Music Festival Enthusiast. A Stevie Nicks Fan. A Community Organizer. Non-binary. Double Major: 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, and most recently had a sweet ADU built 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:
