Jen Wilmes

Licensed Realtor NE Region/Director of Operations

I have always lived in Missouri and love the hometown feel of rural areas. I have a wonderful, hardworking husband and two amazing kids and having the flexibility to work from home and be able to go to all my kids sporting events is a blessing. We live in a rural area of Missouri and have a cattle farm where my kids are in 4H, which keeps us busy. When my kids were younger I stayed home with them and did some direct sales just for a little extra income. Once my kids were old enough to be in school I started pursuing other things. I worked as a bookkeeper in a bank but quickly found Real Estate to be my passion. I spend most of my free time with friends, family and watching my kids sporting events. My kids play basketball, soccer, and softball/baseball. I love watching them live their best lives.

 

I am beyond excited to be working with Brandi Jo and the BJZ Real Estate Collective. I have been working in Real Estate since 2018 and fell in love with the industry. I have done different facets of real estate. I started in marketing, both print and social media and quickly decided that I wanted to do more so I acquired my real estate license in 2020. I love showing my clients their potential dream home, I also love working on the actual transaction behind the scenes. I assist BJZ Realty with all their files, from Contract to Close, as well as entering most listings. I stay on top of deadlines, answer client questions, and help the agents achieve their goals by making their jobs easier. I am there to do a lot of the behind the scenes work so the agents have more time to do what they do best….help clients and show property. I am always learning new ways to help our clients achieve their dreams of buying and selling homes and Brandi Jo and her team always make my job easier by being so knowledgeable with Real Estate and their transactions.

Steve Warfel

Realtor Eureka-Wildwood 

I was born and raised in the St. Louis area before going to Missouri State University where I achieved a B.S. degree in Finance in 1992. Soon after, life led me to Tulsa where I took advantage of my love for Real Estate with a successful career as a Realtor including several years in new construction. Finally life led me back home to Missouri in 2020 where I can do what I love, where I love! It is such a great honor to guide clients through one of their biggest life investments while making great friends along the way. If you are thinking of buying, selling or investing in real estate, let me have your back and help reach your goals.

Crystal Rieser

At the heart of my real estate philosophy is a deep belief that clients and customers are an extension of our family. Guiding people through the real estate journey is not just a job, but a privilege I take seriously. 

 

Typically, housing is the largest expense in one's life & navigating this new real estate landscape can be tricky. I'm here to help you understand it and make the best possible moves for you & your family. 

 

My goal is to educate & guide you through all aspects of your real estate journey, and to make your next move as seamless as possible. When you choose to work with me, I will be fully committed to your real estate goals. With my background in Business, Property, and HOA Management, combined with a competitive spirit and sheer determination to succeed, I am dedicated to ensuring you get the best price & terms possible when buying or selling your next home. 

 

I believe that positive energy is what drives the world forward, and I strive to maintain that positivity in all my interactions, even in the face of disappointments. 

 

When I'm not helping clients, I enjoy flipping houses—a hobby that allows me to bring new life to properties and see their potential realized. I also cherish spending time with my family, making memories that last a lifetime. Site seeing around Missouri's rolling hills and beautiful waterways is a constant source of inspiration for me. I love exploring the natural beauty this state has to offer.
