Jessie was born and raised in the East, but the further West she moved, the freer she felt. Jessie loves the wide-open spaces and the endless skies. When she came to Mt Shasta in 1985, there was still a drug store with a soda fountain, one had to order essentials from the Sears Catalogue at a tiny outlet on Mt Shasta Blvd. and skinny dipping was all the rage at Castle Lake. Locals would give up their rentals in the late spring and move up on the mountain, returning to snap up a new living space when the weather turned cold. Those days are long gone, and the memories grow dim. What has not changed is the incomparable beauty of the area, the clean air, the superb water, the friendly people and iconic Mount Shasta, whose silent majesty overshadows everything with its resolute stillness.
Jessie was involved in the retail sector for thirteen years, where she met many interesting people who were passing through, some of whom remained. Jessie wrote several books. At some point, as if there was not enough to do, Jessie awakened with a midnight epiphany to run for the City Council. She was elected and served for three years, until she moved outside the city limits. That brief stint gave Jessie a diverse background for her career in Real Estate. To this day, Jessie is on great terms with our wonderful City Staff.
Mount Shasta gives everyone opportunities to express themself, and Jessie is no different. At some point, between careers and during a time of re-focusing, Jessie had another epiphany. This time it was to go into Real Estate Sales. It was a situation of the right timing connecting with her own life trajectory. Homes has always been a passion of Jessie’s. She cannot remember a time when she had not loved driving around looking at homes for sale. Jessie started her career at a wonderful company. Two years later, she got her Broker’s License. Jessie was successful and happy, and then another opportunity presented itself. This one allowed me more creative expression. Jessie approached John Harris, who had owned the Real Estate Center for 35 years. He was totally open to the possibilities of change, and thus J. Harris Real Estate was created.
J. Harris Real Estate considers itself a boutique real estate firm, and they provide all of the services one would expect from any other large franchise. John knows everyone. The team brings fun, and a lack of pressure, to the sometimes intense process of buying or selling real estate. Because they are small, they never take for granted the fact that their clients can choose anyone, and they have chosen J. Harris Real Estate.
