I was brought up in a family of entrepreneur, my mother left her 15-year waitressing career to follow her dreams. While my father sacrificed his NFL opportunity to hit the highway, truck driving to provide for our family! I wanted to make my own path while maintaining a passion to make a difference in other people's lives.

I have enjoyed the ever-changing seasons of the northwest in the beautiful state of Washington for most of my life, calling the vast Clark and Cowlitz counties my home. I appreciate the beauty that surrounds my fellow neighbors and the endless opportunities of our amazing country.

I was brought up in a family of entrepreneurs, starting from when my mother left her 15-year waitressing career to follow her dreams while my father stuck out a life of truck-driving to provide the necessities for our family. Encouraging the idealism that bold moves and perseverance can provide, I drifted toward the idea of making my own path while maintaining a passion to make a difference in other people's lives.

I sought out my own opportunities as a kid -- working on neighbor's bikes and creating a lawn-mowing business in my community by the age of 9. I mowed twenty lawns in two days and made my first hundred dollars – boy, was I happy! I soon had thirty neighbors as customers that I would manage for the next three years. By the time I was 17, I was closing out many years of baseball, basketball, wrestling and a mind full of knowledge to branch out into the world.

I soon found myself processing home loans at a local bank, fresh out of high school. That's when I grasped the importance of the financial world and what it looked like for all walks of life. By the time I hit 21 years old, I bought my first home and later purchased three investment properties by 24.

That’s when I found my passion for the ever-revolving world of real estate. I got my real estate broker’s license and worked as a property manager for a local rental company -- leasing homes, managing leases and working with tenants and homeowners while conducting home turnovers to be re-rented. Those three years as a property manager gave me great insight to a new chapter of what was soon to come in my life.

Hungry for more knowledge, I accomplished a business-management degree at Lower Columbia College in 2016. Over the course of my ten-year career as a real estate broker, I've become a top 20% realtor with my brokerage. My success is intertwined with my ability to be persistent and dedicated to my clients. If I don't have the answer, I will happily find it! As of 2016, I have formed Morgen Homes and Associates, a real estate company designed to help home buyers and sellers achieve their goals.

I took on flipping houses with the focus of rejuvenating an area in Longview, Washington, that needed some positive attention in our community. I have since purchased, completely remodeled and sold many houses specifically in the area, with the goal of breathing new life into a rather forgotten part of the community.

I find a great deal of satisfaction when connecting individuals with their goals, timelines and transitions in life. These moments are often incredibly big decisions but having a game plan and direction makes for a great compass. I value each opportunity and unique adventure every client takes me on; fulfilling my lifelong urge to help others succeed.

I believe that being a realtor requires creativity, passion, knowledge and aggressiveness of not only the current real estate market but also the details of financing and creative negotiations so that each client is aware of every option available to them. I stay current with the market while developing a personal relationship with my clients and ensuring a high-functioning team and systems within, to serve my client's best interests.

 

When I'm not keeping busy with my clients and my team, I enjoy golfing, getting outdoors on my mountain bike and spending time with my family. I have a beautiful wife of 13 years who has been a huge assistance in my success. She truly is my right hand and I am blessed to have her by my side. I also have four amazing children. My 16-year-old daughter, 6-year-old son, and twin 5-year-old daughters are my light through this journey in life.

I am blessed beyond measure to have such a wonderful, supportive family and I welcome you into it.

As a real estate professional, I take pride in serving my community and thrive on assisting in my client's real estate goals. I enjoy working in a creative environment, as it allows me to think outside the box, keep current and seek the best outcome. As a result of this diverse experience, I have a seasoned perspective on how to approach many different real estate endeavors and I welcome you into them.

Sincerely,

Jesse Morgen
