JENNI THOMPSON PROOF
In the lively world of real estate, there exists a quiet force—a beacon of authenticity and dedication to service. Meet Jenni Thompson, a seasoned REALTOR® with West + Main Homes, whose roots run deep in the heart of Boulder, Colorado.
Born at Boulder Memorial Hospital, at the base of Mt Sanitas, and raised in Louisville, Jenni’s connection to the area is as genuine as they come. She reminisces about her upbringing, recalling the days when Boulder was a small, close-knit community. From attending local schools to witnessing the evolution of the area, her story is deeply interwoven within this region.
She remembers family dinners at the Blue Parrott and visiting the Steinbaugh Hardware store on the weekends. Jenni says, “A unique characteristic of Boulder is its commitment to preserving its integrity by imposing restrictions on building and growth. Louisville has adopted a similar approach, fostering an environment that retains the charm of the small town I remember from my childhood.”
After completing her education at Colorado State University, where she majored in business finance, Jenni embarked on a diverse career path. She joined Janus Capital Group, a local Mutual Fund company with its roots in Denver. This marked her initial foray into the professional world, where she spent five years contributing to the growth of the company during the ’90s.
Subsequently, as her family expanded, Jenni sought ways to balance her career aspirations with her role as a parent. During this period, she established a staging company, leveraging her entrepreneurial spirit and passion to design, to remain engaged in the workforce while raising her children. Jenni’s sister, Aimee Brayman, a seasoned REALTOR®, expressed the need for staging in the housing market downturn in 2008. Jenni helped REALTORS® and staged builder spec homes to give them
an advantage in the slow market. As her children became more independent, she entered back into finance, working as an energy trader and briefly in the mortgage industry. She gained valuable knowledge, ultimately deciding to pursue real estate full-time, following her sister’s guidance.
Aimee served as a valuable mentor helping Jenni get established in real estate. They briefly worked together at RE/ MAX before they made the move to PorchLight. However, they eventually settled at West + Main Homes, where they’ve been for five years, maintaining their collaborative relationship.
“We were drawn to West + Main for their exceptional marketing and branding, which perfectly aligned with our style and how we wanted to present ourselves. We love that the company is owned by two women, Madie Linder, who specializes in design and marketing, handling all our marketing and design needs, and Stacie Staub, who brings years of experience in the industry and a compassionate approach.”
MY BUSINESS HAS PROVIDED INVALUABLE SUPPORT AND FLEXIBILITY FOR MY FAMILY AS A SINGLE MOTHER. I BELIEVE IN SERVING MY CLIENTS WITH EXCELLENCE, EVEN IF IT MEANS OPERATING QUIETLY BEHIND THE SCENES.
While Jenni and Aimee collaborate as a team, they also have the freedom to work independently. During the COVID-19 pandemic, their families supported each other both professionally and personally by working together, sharing meals, and raising their children as a collective unit. “We’ve always been close with each other so working together comes naturally to us,” states Jenni.
Jenni has been a single mother for ten years, raising her children. Parker, her oldest, resides in Fort Collins, establishing himself independently. Jenni says with affection, “Parker is ‘adulting’, and I’m really proud of him.”
Noelle, her daughter, is currently enrolled at a small private college located in Montecito, California, where she has earned a golf scholarship. Jenni states, “My ex-husband and I shared a deep passion for golf, which was a significant aspect of our family life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our daughter discovered her own love for the sport while being home from school. She devoted approximately six hours a day to practicing, and her dedication paid off as she swiftly progressed to becoming a scratch golfer and earning a spot as a collegiate athlete.
Jenni’s youngest child, Georgia, currently lives with her and is an 8th grader at Peak to Peak Charter School in Lafayette. Georgia loves volleyball and being social with her friends. Jenni is in the process of purchasing her fourth home, situated in the Vista Ridge neighborhood, and is excited for Georgia’s high school years.
As a longtime member of the Colorado National Golf Course, Jenni strives to hit the course a couple of times each week and she proudly holds two club championship titles. Additionally, she embraces all that Colorado has in store, including skiing and actively participating in her children’s various activities. She says, “I’ve had such a fun year, especially with my daughter starting college. Each time she has a golf tournament, such as the one in Carmel or Napa Valley, I’ve attended to support her. Witnessing her first collegiate tournament in Ventura was particularly meaningful and fun for both of us.”
PROOF
In the Boulder real estate market, there are many high-profile agents who excel in their field. However, Jenni has chosen to maintain a more low-key approach to her business. She says, “My business has provided invaluable support and flexibility for my family as a single mother. I believe in serving my clients with excellence, even if it means operating quietly behind the scenes. Nowadays, most of my clients come through referrals, and I’ve opted to keep my personal life, particularly involving my children, relatively private on social media.” While Jenni recognizes this approach may not be the most advantageous for growing her business, it has worked well for her in maintaining a balance that suits her lifestyle.
In the end, Jenni’s story serves as a testament to the enduring power of authenticity and service in the ever-evolving landscape of real estate. As she continues to navigate the twists and turns of her professional journey, one thing remains certain—her unwavering commitment to her clients, her community, and the values that define her as a person and as a REALTOR®.
