Jenni Meador

About Us:

My name is Jenni Meador of Keller Williams Realty Waterside in Kemah, Texas. In 2003 I graduated from McMurry University in Abilene, Texas. I attained my bachelor of arts degree in Political Science and Sociology from McMurry. I also hold my juris doctorate degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. While in law school I took the elective course "Real Estate Law". It was in this class that I discovered my passion for Real Estate. Decided to change my focus from law to real estate was an important decision, but one that I was eager to make. Real estate is my passion!

An educated Realtor is a smart decision!

Areas of Expertise

As your buyer's agent, I will assist you in your search for your dream home. Now you are ready to embark on your home search - an endeavor that can prove overwhelming if not approached with some forethought. The most efficient route is to allow your real estate agent do the initial scouting for you. Using your wish list as a guide, she will alert you of new and existing listings that have strong potential. If these listings pique your interest, your Jenni will arrange home tours at your convenience. Many agents send alerts via email - sometimes as often as daily, depending on the available inventory in your market. Let your agent know how you'd like to receive these alerts, whether by phone, email or fax.
You also can do some research on your own. Read local real estate publications, contact your local neighborhood associations, visit the local chamber of commerce, surf the Internet, or drive around your favorite neighborhoods. While these methods certainly can lead to your dream home, it's important to note that 82 percent of home sales are the result of agent connections.* That means it's more likely your agent will find your dream home through being in the real estate business than you driving around on the weekends.
