About Jessica
I'm Jessica Gilligan, a licensed Oregon Real Estate Broker with John L. Scott Real Estate. My main goal is to help people build wealth and lead healthier lives through real estate. At John L. Scott Real Estate, I've found a home that matches my naturally service-oriented nature. Our shared motto, 'Living Life as a Contribution™,' reflects my approach to real estate. I am dedicated to helping sellers and buyers, with a specific focus on first-time homebuyers and those transitioning from their previous homes. My unique value lies in my ability to guide clients through the complex real estate process with empathy and understanding, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction.
Being honored as the 2023 Realtor Member of the Year by the Women's Council of Realtors Greater Portland Area is a testament to my commitment to the community. I am passionate about connecting people, homes, and the planet through real estate sales. My dedication goes beyond transactions, as I actively promote healthy homes and volunteer in Oregon. I take pride in serving clients in the North Oregon Coast, the Portland metro area, including my local community of Hillsboro, down to the Willamette Valley, and over to the Mt. Hood area.
My expertise in the real estate industry is supported by continuous learning and a solutions-oriented approach. I have earned the prestigious GREEN designation from the National Association of Realtors, which equips me to guide my clients toward sustainable and energy-efficient choices. As a strong communicator and negotiator, I bring an upbeat, determined personality to help my clients secure the best deals. I am a lifelong learner, constantly expanding my knowledge through various channels such as a bachelor's degree in business, a minor in hospitality, training in JEDI and environmental issues, podcasts, reading (my favorite book is "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer), and continuous real estate education.
As your advocate and resource throughout the transaction, I am committed to your success. Aligned with the values of John L. Scott Real Estate, I prioritize lifelong relationships, ensuring that your needs and desires are always at the forefront. I work tirelessly to make your home selling or buying process as efficient, stress-free, and lucrative as possible because your satisfaction is my ultimate goal.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring and volunteering. My love for the outdoors is evident in my hobbies, which include camping, skiing, surfing, and kayaking. I also have a deep-seated passion for gardening, cooking, and sharing food experiences with others.
