REALTOR PROFILE
Jessica Forsdick Greenwood King Properties 346-718-9596
Jessica Forsdick, a Greenwood King Properties Realtor with 15 years of real estate industry experience, shared these insights:
Why did you decide on a career in real estate? What was your inspiration? I love decor, design, architecture; it all goes with my eye for art. The negotiation and strategy goes with the side of me that worked in oil and gas, however the most important thing is that I love helping others. That combination fits perfectly for a career in residential real estate.
What’s your previous work and training? I have a BA in art history from Texas Tech University, fashion in San Francisco from 2005-2007, and commercial real estate working in multifamily and hotels from 2007-2012. Oil and gas contract negotiations (with major oil companies and independent oil companies) from 2012-2020 (also including office leases for all corporate offices in the lower 48 states and Canada). I’ve worked in residential real estate since 2020.
What are your focus areas? I have lived all over Houston including West U., Midtown, Energy Corridor, and Memorial west. This allows me to better represent all my clients. I have clients from Conroe to south of Houston.
How is the marketplace now and is it a good time to buy? The market is great, inventory is low, but there are amazing homes to be found. Interest rates are still at historic lows, so it is still a great time to buy. If you have been thinking about purchasing for a while, then now is still a great time to buy.
How would you describe your work ethic and skills for success? Real estate taps into the creative and business side of who I am. I rely strongly on my art degree for design knowledge and skills, and my negotiation skills I honed in commercial real estate and oil and gas. My negotiation skills were sharpened by negotiating contracts with major oil companies as well as small independents. “I learn about my clients to put the pieces together to find what they are looking for.”

What are some key ways you help your clients in the buying/selling process? Buying or selling, for a client, is a puzzle. I learn about my clients to put the pieces together to find what they are looking for.
For sales, I analyze and develop a strategy and put those pieces together to capitalize on the market. Most of the time a home is a person’s largest single investment, and I take helping them with that very seriously.
How does your company support your sales process? No two transactions are the same and at Greenwood King Properites they have so much experience in the management, marketing, legal, and other agents to bounce ideas and questions off of. I have always worked well with having someone to bounce ideas off of, and real estate is no different.
