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.
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.
