Jessica Perdue

SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN HOME FOR ME. I WAS RAISED IN MONTVALE—A SMALL, CHERISHED COMMUNITY NESTLED IN THE VALLEY OF BEDFORD COUNTY. FROM MY EARLIEST DAYS THERE, I LEARNED THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY, QUIET INDEPENDENCE, AND THE NATURAL BEAUTY SURROUNDING US. THOSE SAME ROOTS CARRIED ME THROUGH PICKING APPLES AND GRAPES IN MY GRANDMA’S YARD IN NEARBY FLOYD COUNTY, TO BUYING OUR FIRST HOME IN ROANOKE CITY, AND NOW RAISING MY OWN FAMILY IN FRANKLIN COUNTY—THIS LAND HAS SHAPED EVERY CHAPTER OF MY LIFE. I’VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED THE QUIET INDEPENDENCE, THE SENSE OF PRIVACY, AND MOST OF ALL, THE STRONG COMMUNITY THAT TIES IT ALL TOGETHER.

LIVING HERE ALL MY LIFE HAS GIVEN ME A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE WAY PEOPLE AND PLACE ARE CONNECTED. IT’S SOMETHING WE FEEL IN OUR BONES—A REVERENCE FOR THE LAND, THE VALUES, AND THE NEIGHBORS THAT MAKE THIS AREA SPECIAL. THAT’S WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING A LOCAL REALTOR®: HELPING OTHERS FIND THEIR OWN PLACE IN THIS MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP.

WHEN I’M NOT IMMERSED IN REAL ESTATE, YOU’LL USUALLY FIND ME CHEERING ON MY OLDEST AT A LOCAL SPORTING EVENT, CATCHING A RAILYARD DOGS HOCKEY GAME, OR HIKING ONE OF FRANKLIN COUNTY’S MANY BEAUTIFUL TRAILS.
