Today we’d like to introduce you to Jhen Gibbs.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I grew up in the Caribbean surrounded by entrepreneurs who taught me—by example—what it meant to lead, build, and give back. I wasn’t the kid selling snacks at school, as much as I wanted to , I was Busy with ballet, swimming, tennis, service clubs, and other extracurricular activities; I was the one stepping up to speak, serve, organize, and lead. I “worked” in my parents’ business and treated it like it was mine, paying attention to every detail and thinking through how to improve the experience. That mindset of ownership and service stuck with me.
Before stepping into real estate, I worked across hospitality, tech, and corporate consulting—industries that sharpened my understanding of service, people, and long-term partnership. But it wasn’t until I entered real estate that everything truly aligned. I realized I wasn’t just helping people buy homes—I was helping them build lifestyles, legacies, and freedom on their own terms.
During the pandemic, I founded a nonprofit to meet critical needs in my community—food, wellness, education, housing—whatever people needed most. It was a reminder that I’m at my best when I’m creating solutions that serve others. That sense of purpose has always guided me.
That’s how Maison Bezalel | Global Properties was born. It’s not just a real estate brand—it’s a mission.
We work with visionaries, entrepreneurs, global families, investors, and professionals in sports and entertainment who are building more than wealth. They’re building something meaningful. Our team supports clients in both residential and commercial spaces, with a concierge approach that spans from Texas to Dubai.
Maison Bezalel is about alignment—where your space reflects your vision, your investments reflect your values, and your real estate journey supports the life you’re creating.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Smooth? Not even close. But I’ve learned to see challenges as part of the assignment.
There were seasons where I felt like I was building the plane while flying it—balancing motherhood, business, growth, and real life all at once. The pandemic hit, and instead of slowing down, I launched a nonprofit to meet the most urgent needs in my community. It stretched me in ways I wasn’t expecting, but it also reminded me: when there’s a need, I show up.
There were moments in real estate where the “right path” wasn’t always clear—especially navigating luxury spaces, large commercial deals, and cross-border transactions without a blueprint. I had to learn fast, stay steady, and come to every table prepared. But I’ve always believed that obstacles don’t mean stop—they mean pay attention. And that mindset has carried me forward through the uncertain seasons.
I remember one meeting in particular—sitting at a boardroom table with developers and commercial investors. I was the only woman in the room, and the youngest by far. There were assumptions in the air before I even spoke. But once we began discussing market data, land use, deal structure, and community impact, something shifted. Not because I was trying to prove anything—but because I was prepared, clear, and deeply invested in the outcome. By the end of the meeting, I wasn’t just part of the conversation—I was helping lead it.
That experience stayed with me. It reminded me that real confidence isn’t loud or performative. It’s quiet clarity. It’s showing up with solutions, asking the right questions, and letting your preparation speak for itself.
Every challenge has refined how I lead and how I serve. It’s shaped a business that doesn’t just close deals—it builds trust, creates alignment, and helps clients—whether they’re investors, athletes, entertainers, or international families—make decisions that move them toward the life and legacy they’re building.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
The name “Bezalel” comes from the Hebrew word meaning “in the shadow of God” — a nod to our foundation in purpose, creativity, and legacy. We believe that every property we represent is more than an address — it’s a vessel for vision, lifestyle, and generational wealth. Whether you’re relocating across the country, expanding your investment portfolio, or searching for a sanctuary that reflects your next chapter, our work is grounded in helping you move with clarity and confidence.
We specialize in luxury real estate with concierge-level service — both residential and commercial — with clients ranging from entrepreneurs and C-suite executives to investors, athletes, and international families. What sets us apart is our hybrid approach: we combine high-touch advisory with modern, strategic marketing across global platforms. We’re also deeply connected to industries like sports and entertainment, land development, and international relocation, offering discreet, white-glove support for every transaction.
We’re proud to be rooted in Texas with a national and global reach — from gated estates in Sugar Land to beachfront homes in Galveston to off-market development deals. But more than anything, we’re proud of the way we show up for our clients. Our mission is simple: to help people design lives they’re proud of — through spaces that reflect who they are, and who they’re becoming.
We don’t just sell real estate. We advise, we guide, we curate.
That’s Maison Bezalel. Real estate, reimagined.
How do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy is simple — but deeply felt. It’s the early morning stillness, when the world hasn’t quite woken up, and I can catch the sunrise before the day takes off.
It’s being near the beach, toes in the sand, heart wide open, reminded that peace isn’t found in the noise — it’s in the presence. It’s kneading dough for homemade bread or rolling out pizza dough with my daughter, music playing in the background, family around, laughter spilling over.
But it’s also in the quiet wins — the text from a client who finally found the home they’ve been praying for. The investor who found clarity in a deal. The family who didn’t think they’d ever own again — and now they do. That makes me deeply happy too.
Because to me, happiness is found in service. In alignment. In showing up for people at pivotal moments and helping them move forward — not just in real estate, but in life. My work is a reflection of what I value most: meaningful connection, intentional spaces, and creating something that lasts.
Whether I’m making bread with my family, watching the tide roll in, or walking a client through their next chapter — happiness always finds me in the same place: grounded, grateful, and fully present.
