About Jessi

Jessi began her real estate career in 2005, earning her real estate license before graduating with her undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in Public Speaking. After gaining some experience in real estate, she relocated to Nashville for more real estate opportunities and obtained a Masters degree in Education from Belmont University. Over the years, she has consistently ranked in the top 1% of Realtors® in the Nashville area and has won multiple awards each year for production and involvement in the industry and community.

In 2014, she formed a real estate team, The Southbound Group, out of necessity due to consistent growth in business. The team consists of buyers’ agents, showing specialists, transaction coordinators, listing coordinators, marketing coordinators and a relocation division. Now that the team nearly runs itself, Jessi has been given the tremendous opportunity to combine her public speaking degree, her teaching degree and her real estate experience into one fluid combination - real estate training and education.

Nick Woodard | Benchmark Realty | Nashville, TN

“Jessi was not only willing to share information about her success and how she got there, but she genuinely wanted to provide tools to help others achieve their goals as well. Her straight forward and somewhat raw approach was very refreshing. She is genuine and authentic, which is a breath of fresh air in today's Instagram world.”

Rachel Kant | Realtor® | Nashville, TN

“I used to have an idea of what a real estate agent should be; knowledgeable and concise. However, listening to Jessi speak made me understand a new aspect; vulnerability and honesty. She made me realize that not knowing all the answers is okay, asking for help is okay, asking for advice is okay! As long as you do it with a genuine heart. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to listen to Jessi’s story. I will cherish her words and strive for my business to be as successful as hers one day!”

TJ Dyer | BancorpSouth Mortgage | Brentwood, TN

“I think Jessi is an inspiration to women and men in all industries to show that hard work and dedication will lead to success. I like Jessi's approach to working with her clients. If the client is not a good fit for the way you do business then it is perfectly ok to pass on that client. Not every client is going to be the perfect fit, but identifying that early in the process will allow you to serve your clients better and create less stress for you.”

Charlie Peterson | Broker/Writer/Speaker | Nashville, TN

“I LOVE learning from Jessi! She brings a voice of authenticity and realness to every group I've heard her speak to, focused on lifting her learners, and the industry as a whole, to a higher place. I trust her blindly and can't recommend her training enough!”
