About Jeri
I’m a real estate investor, operator, and coach with more than two decades of hands-on experience building wealth through real estate — across multiple market cycles, strategies, and seasons of life.
I’ve seen what works. I’ve lived through what stretches you. And I’ve learned, firsthand, that how you build matters just as much as what you build.
My Path
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve built and operated real estate businesses spanning long-term rentals, short-term rentals, development, and property management.
I hold (and have held) real estate broker licenses in three states, have sold more than $200M in real estate, and have been directly involved in 300+ home flips. I’m the Founder and CEO of a seven-figure real estate and property management company and a founding member of a real estate investment fund, giving me experience on both the operational and capital sides of the business.
Like most long-term builders, my journey hasn’t been linear. It’s included significant growth, pressure-filled seasons, recalibration, and refinement.
At the same time, life was full.
I got married. I adopted my three children. I carried the weight of leadership and responsibility — and experienced the real physical cost of prolonged stress.
That combination changed me.
What I Believe Now
I no longer believe in building at any cost.
I believe in:
Wealth that supports health and relationships
Businesses that create capacity, not constant urgency
Leadership that is grounded, regulated, and honest
Growth that is sustainable — financially, emotionally, and physically
Real estate is a powerful tool. But without intention, it can quietly become a source of pressure rather than freedom.
My work today is built around helping people avoid that trap.
How I Teach
I don’t teach from theory. I teach from experience.
My approach blends:
Real-world deal analysis and execution
Strategic thinking and long-term planning
Nervous system regulation and resilience
Identity, confidence, and leadership development
To date, I’ve guided 75+ students through Catalyst, helping them move from preparation into confident execution, and I’ve co-led 7 women’s retreats, supporting more than 60 women through deep recalibration and expansion.
I’m known for being direct, compassionate, and grounded — holding high standards while creating environments where people feel safe to grow, ask honest questions, and build at a pace that aligns with their lives.
The Work I Do Now
Today, I focus on:
Catalyst — a 12-week execution program for new investors
Catalyst Continuum — ongoing support for investors building wealth with intention
Women’s retreats through Vibrant Living
A very limited number of private 1:1 mini retreats
Each offering serves a different season — but all are rooted in the same philosophy:
Wealth should expand your life, not consume it.
An Invitation
If you’re looking for hype, shortcuts, or hustle culture, this probably isn’t the right place.
If you’re looking to build real wealth — with clarity, integrity, and capacity — you’re welcome here.
