Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenny Becker
Hi Jenny, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
.You know that buzz during the final seconds of a Houston Rockets game? That was my life for five years post the University of Houston. Working with the Rockets wasn’t just about the excitement of sales; it was a masterclass in building strong client relationships, problem-solving, and understanding unique client needs to help them achieve their goals.
So, why shift from the NBA to the Houston housing market? It’s simple—I wanted something more fulfilling than just the thrill of the sale. Coming from a family with a rich history in real estate, the pull was always there. I decided to combine my passion for creating long-term client relationships with my love for real estate, especially in my hometown, Houston. And just like that, a new career path was born! Now, I have the privilege of celebrating with families as they step into their dream homes and helping sellers maximize their home equity.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Navigating a career in real estate is never a smooth road, and I’ve faced my share of challenges. The real estate market is notoriously volatile, with fluctuating interest rates and housing prices requiring constant adaptation and strategic advising. Managing client expectations, especially when they may not align with market realities, requires clear communication and a deep understanding of the market. Additionally, staying on top of regulatory compliance adds another layer of complexity.
Currently, the biggest challenge I’m facing is helping my clients navigate the market’s shift, particularly the “handcuff” effect of historically low interest rates. Many of my clients are local move-up buyers and sellers who are hesitant to leave their current homes, despite wanting or needing more space, due to the significant rise in interest rates from under 4% to around 7%. This situation requires creative solutions and a tailored approach to help them maximize their home equity, even in a challenging market environment. Despite these hurdles, my dedication to providing a seamless, hands-on experience has led to 95% of my business coming from repeat clients and referrals, something that I am particularly proud to have built my 15+ real estate career on.
We’ve been impressed with Compass | Kiecke Becker Real Estate Group, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Drawing on over 15 years of experience and deep local knowledge as a native Houstonian, I’ve built my career on delivering a personalized, client-focused real estate experience. Treating each client like family, I support them through significant life milestones—whether they’re getting married, expanding their families, or building their forever home. Being a part of my clients’ most monumental life moments and helping them achieve their real estate goals is incredibly fulfilling. My expertise in the Katy, Fulshear, and Inner Loop areas allows me to offer tailored advice that meets my clients’ unique needs.
What sets me apart is my commitment to transparency, expert negotiation, and an unwavering dedication to exceeding expectations. This dedication has earned the trust of my clients, with 95% of my business coming from repeat clients and referrals—a testament to the strong relationships we’ve built. While I lead the Kiecke Becker Real Estate Group, our success stems from the combined efforts of our dynamic mother-daughter group. Together, our team brings over 40 years of experience, 650+ transactions, and over $400 million in sales. Our collaborative approach, broad market understanding, transparent communication, and unique problem-solving skills drive our exemplary results.
How do you think about luck?
.My first year in real estate was 2008, right in the midst of the housing crash known as the subprime mortgage crisis. Starting my career during such a tumultuous time was both a challenge and a blessing in disguise. Ignorance of the event’s magnitude initially shielded me from the fear many felt, but quickly, I had to adapt and truly understand my clients’ needs to minimize the crisis’s impact on them. This experience pushed me to take “going above and beyond” to a new level, developing a deep resilience and commitment to client service that has defined my career.
If I had entered the market during the upturn in 2013 or the unique conditions of the pandemic years, I might not have gained the same understanding of what it takes to thrive in real estate. The grit and determination I honed during those challenging early years have been invaluable, helping me build a successful business that relies heavily on repeat clients and referrals. In that sense, I consider myself lucky to have started when I did; it shaped my approach and laid a strong foundation for my career.
