From college roommates paying "scam" rent to building a real estate empire that changes lives.Jones Hollow Realty Group isn't your typical real estate team. Esperanza, Janelle, and Marissa prove that authentic relationships and genuine care can transform an industry known for being transactional.Their origin story: Meeting in college while getting "scammed" by landlords charging per room, Esperanza vowed to one day own property and rent it fairly to students. That vision grew into a boutique real estate team that prioritizes generational wealth over quick commissions.What makes them different:They clean houses before showings (even for family deals)They educate clients on financial literacy, not just propertiesThey work with $400K budgets when others won'tThey navigate fair housing laws while serving diverse communitiesThey handle remote deals across state lines (Janelle operates from Texas)Real client impact: First-generation Americans achieving homeownership, families building wealth for their children, and emotional closing moments where clients say "God orchestrated us meeting you."Industry challenges: Getting cursed out by listing agents, dealing with divorce drama, cops showing up at listings, and overcoming stereotypes as women of color in Suffolk County's competitive market.Their philosophy: "You don't know what you don't know" - they educate clients on grants, tax programs, house hacking strategies, and financial literacy that wasn't taught at their dinner tables growing up.Whether you're looking to buy your first home, understanding the current market, or curious about real estate as a career, this conversation provides insider insights from agents who genuinely care about their clients' success.Follow the team: @EsperanzaYarra.RealEstate, @TheRealtorJanelle, @SellingGemsReady to share YOUR story?
