Jessica Gilligan

2023 Realtor Member of the Year awarded by the Women's Council of Realtors Greater Portland Area. Connecting people + homes + planet through real estate sales, healthy homes & volunteering in Oregon. Serving clients in the places I live and enjoy life in: from where I grew up on the North Oregon Coast; throughout the Portland metro area, including my local community of Hillsboro; in the Willamette Valley down to McMinnville; and over to the Mt. Hood area. I help all kinds of sellers and buyers and am especially passionate about helping first time homebuyers and people transitioning out of their last house. Clients consistently compliment my communication and negotiation skills. I look forward to putting my expertise to work for you and your real estate goals!

More About Me
My mission is to help people build wealth and live healthier. I believe positive impact happens when passionate people connect and advocate for what they believe in. I grew up in Oregon and am proud to call this beautiful state home. When I’m not working, I’m adventuring or volunteering. I love being outside: camping, skiing, surfing, and kayaking. I’m also passionate about gardening, cooking and sharing food experiences with people.

Living Life As A Contribution™
Service is my nature. There’s a reason I chose John L. Scott Real Estate as my home: our motto of Living Life As A Contribution™ is how I strive to live my life. I serve as a volunteer for many organizations including the Hillsboro Food Co-op we're trying to start up. I've served on the board of Surfrider Foundation Portland Chapter with the mission to preserve and protect our ocean, beaches, and waves through political, educational, and grassroots activism.

Expertise
I earned the GREEN designation from the National Association of Realtors qualifying me to help my clients with sustainable and energy efficient choices. I'm a strong communicator and negotiator with a solutions-oriented approach. My sales background and postive, gritty personality help my clients win deals. I’m a constant learner. My education so far includes a bachelor’s degree in business, hospitality minor, training in JEDI and environmental issues, podcasts, reading (my favorite book: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer) and continuous Real Estate education.

Transactional Excellence
I'm an advocate and resource for my clients throughout the transaction and beyond. True to the John L. Scott Real Estate values, I prioritize lifelong relationships over dollars, meaning my clients' wishes are top priority. I work tirelessly to make your home selling or buying process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.
