Hi, sweet friends. If you are new to the blog (or channel), welcome. If you have been researching for quite some time or are just now discovering us, we are so happy you are here. I want to start with who the “we” are, and then I will answer your Where to Live in Galveston question.
My name is Jordan Marie Schilleci, but all my favorite people call me Jo. I started in real estate about 10 years ago and have lived in multiple suburbs around Houston. I was born here and am so blessed to call it home. But the “we” I typically throw around is my husband Edward and I.
Jo & Co. was created as a brokerage that does things differently. We love people, and we love answering questions. Our goal isn't just to be your real estate agent but your resource. You have found one of those resources. But with all rambling aside, when you are ready for the next step, all of our contact information is below, and here is the link to schedule a call with us: http://byjoandco.com/call.

Easiest Way to Find the Right Suburb of City For You
Please know that scheduling a call with me is the easiest way to determine which city or suburb is best for you. Helping you figure out the best city or suburb is one of my favorite things to do. I pride myself on many things, but this would be the best first step. From there, I can help you figure out your budget. If you are financing your purchase, I can recommend a fantastic lender. Next, we want to take a look at your timeline, and then the fun begins: we will start house-hunting. Once you have narrowed it down to one or two homes, we start the offer writing process, which is another place I shine. Over the last 10 years, I have established a good reputation with listing agents, and I love this communication process. Once you are under contract on a home, I will navigate you to the closing table, starting with a reputable home inspection recommendation. With Jo & Co. by your side, this whole process will be guided and as seamless as possible.
I cannot wait to get started. Hugs, Jo & Edward.
