NB365: Jessie Yerxa Of The Yerxa Team
This is part of a year-long ‘Love for Local’ series called NB365: portraits of New Brunswick entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations. Huddle is a media partner with Love for Local. Today, we hear from Jessie Yerxa of The Yerxa Team.
I was born and raised in Fredericton, and my passion for real estate and for helping build my community inspires me every day. In 2008, I became a fully licensed realtor and every meeting, every connection, every encounter helped me along the way ever since. We all go further together.
I like to use creative humour and an out-of-the-box approach to my marketing. I believe purchasing or selling a home can and should be a fun experience, and I make sure my clients always have a smile when they leave.
I use social media a lot to talk about what I do, and I get to stay connected to my community in that way. I love the conversations we have, the kind comments, the questions – it’s all about the people and it’s what drives me.
Recently, I was honoured to be ranked the #1 real estate agent on social media in New Brunswick by PropertySpark. I personally know a lot of agents on this list, and the coolest thing about us all is that we’re different.
We each serve content that’s different from each other’s, but unique to us.
And if I could give one piece of advice for business owners utilizing social media, it would be to stay true to yourself and to BE yourself. People follow YOU, and it is a privilege to be able to resonate with people in that way.
For me, local is all about the people and the community we all get to create together. We need every person and every business we see on our streets because they are the ones who make our streets feel like home.
