Vacation? What’s that you speak of?

By Jamis Minnis, April 22, 2021

Looks dreamy right?

This place is tucked away in Coos Bay. A relatively cheap option to stay on the Oregon Coast.

It’s pretty beautiful out there. Rivers, tides, calm, fresh air.

I was excited about some downtown and shared meals with my partner.

But

REAL ESTATE.

I think I wrote 4 offers on that vacation, that which is not a vacation.

I’ll be the first to say that I LOVE my job.

I enjoy it day in and day out.

I work really hard and I will figure out a way to make something happen. And quick.

But boy o’ boy, I can’t remember the last time that I have had a day off.

I ask around often, to see if any colleagues out there have figured out a good work life balance.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

So far, I’m not sure that anyone has.

I’m not missing too much (other than real quality time) with my partner.  Since we’re in a panini (pandemic) it doesn’t feel like

there’s no too much to miss.

But as soon as/whenever things return to “normal” I’m taking a real vacation!

It just may or may not look like a working one. hahaha.

I'm just out here trying to be the RBG of Real Estate. I'm A Frugal Foodie. A Concert/Music Festival Enthusiast. A Community Organizer.  Double Majored in Psychology and Business. I have Travelled all 50 States and 4 Continents. 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 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), 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:
