Meet Jeff
BrokerJeff's upbringing, his father being a pilot in the United States Air Force, instilled remarkable adaptability in him. His life was a series of exciting new opportunities, from Hawaii to England, Georgia to Washington. His experience in the military not only prepared him to interact with new people with ease but also to adapt and overcome the many challenges of life. This adaptability is a critical strength he brings to his role at Vignette Realty, ensuring he can handle diverse situations quickly and confidently.
Jeff's career journey began as a paramedic and continued into Rehabilitative Therapy, fueled by his passion for helping people. His 20 successful years in this field are a testament to his dedication and commitment to making a difference in the lives of those in need. His unwavering commitment to his clients inspires all of us at Vignette Realty, and we are proud to have him on our team.
As with any occupation, as life progressed, Jeff began looking for an alternative career path to provide quality time with family. Jeff's good friend convinced him to look into the real estate industry. After researching the available opportunities, Jeff studied and obtained his real estate license, which the firm of John L Scott solicited. Jeff grew his business over the next two years and became known as the "Zen Real Estate Agent." Jeff's demeanor, analytical approach, and frankness have enabled him to relate to clients searching to sell or buy a home.
Music has always been an adventure for Jeff. His fluency with the piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, and singing has led him to several record labels. More importantly, this passion created the moment when Jeff met Alycia. Alycia had graduated with a degree in journalism, and they met at a concert Jeff was performing at. They married and had two children, Bodhi and Trey, and an additional child, Zuma, a beloved yellow lab.
Jeff's family fell in love with the North Carolina Region during their trip through the Appalachian Mountains. Their enchantment with the mild climate, beautiful mountains, and friendly people is a testament to the warmth and comfort of the community. This love for the region reflects the welcoming and friendly nature of the community, which we strive to embody in our interactions with our clients at Vignette Realty.
Jeff and his wife, Alycia, decided to investigate living in the North Carolina Region. After searching for some time in the Western North Carolina mountains, Jeff and Alycia met Kristie Brennan, who understood their needs and wants. Kristie, co-owner of Vignette Realty with Rashaune De La Cruz, did a remarkable job selling a home to Jeff's family and securing a highly-rated Broker. This positive experience with Vignette Realty significantly influenced Jeff's decision to join the company.
Jeff is a valuable asset at Vignette Realty, which prides itself on calculated research, understanding its clients' key concerns, and diligently searching for the perfect match. Our unique selling points, commitment to understanding and meeting our client's needs, and personalized and efficient service have built a strong following of clients who appreciate the value we bring to their real estate transactions.
His family is in love with Macon County and could not be happier. Jeff enjoys hiking, swimming, and boating with Alycia and their two boys when he is not working. His children are home-schooled and are involved in many local activities, such as the Smokey Mountain Performing Arts and the 4H club, and the boys have built a thriving "Honey" business through the 4H program. Music is a big part of Jeffs family, and they spend many hours together in their home music studio. We are lucky to have Jeff as an associate, and our clients feel much the same.
