A key skill that sets Jean Pomeroy apart and led her to a 26-year career as an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Realty began when she was a child in Chicago. “Every weekend I watched my father, a master negotiator, teach me the art of negotiation at garage sales,” Pomeroy says. “The approach of explaining why something might not appeal to everyone but could be the perfect fit for a specific individual has become a cornerstone of my negotiation strategy.” Pomeroy’s family moved to the Valley when she was a teenager. “I lived in multiple areas of the North and Southeast Valley over the years and gained firsthand knowledge of various communities, laying the foundation for my future career,” she says.

“Real estate is not just about transactions,” Pomeroy insists. “By really caring and listening to my clients and understanding their unique preferences and priorities, I am able to provide the tailored service they deserve. Real estate, to me, is about building relationships. I prioritize caring, listening and tailoring my services to each client’s unique needs. Many consumers choose a Realtor after a brief encounter, not realizing the importance of working with a competent, qualified professional. I educate my clients on the significance of making informed decisions and avoiding potential legal issues down the road. It’s about establishing trust and going beyond transactions. It’s because of this approach most of my clients do multiple transactions with me and often become personal friends.”

Pomeroy understands the importance of managing both her work and home life. “Balancing the stress of real estate, I prioritize self-care, including meditation,” she notes. “This balance is crucial in my blended family life with two children and three stepchildren. Life is short, and I believe in doing things that light us up. Helping clients achieve their real estate goals brings me immense satisfaction. It’s not just a job; it’s a passion.”
