Buying a home is one of the biggest and most exciting decisions you’ll ever make — and preparation is key. Start by getting pre-approved so you understand your budget and can act quickly when the right home comes along. Be clear about your priorities — location, lifestyle, and must-haves — but stay open-minded, as sometimes the perfect home looks different than you expected. Work closely with a trusted real estate professional who knows the market, can guide you through each step, and help you make informed decisions with confidence. Most importantly, don’t rush the process — the right home will align with both your goals and your heart.

First impressions matter — make sure your home shines from the moment buyers walk through the door (or see it online!). Focus on presentation and pricing: declutter, freshen up the space, and price it strategically based on current market conditions. Work with a trusted real estate professional who understands how to position your home for maximum exposure and negotiate effectively. Be flexible with showings and open to feedback — small adjustments can make a big difference. Most importantly, trust the process and remember that your goal isn’t just to sell, but to move forward successfully into your next chapter.

At The Jocelyn Russo Group, we’ve had the honor of working with a wide range of clients — from first-time buyers and growing families to investors, downsizers, and luxury sellers. We also specialize in helping relocating clients and guiding landlords and tenants through rental opportunities. Every client’s story is unique, and our team takes pride in providing a personalized experience built on trust, communication, and results. Whether buying, selling, or investing, our goal is to make the process smooth, strategic, and rewarding from start to finish.

A recent transaction I’m especially proud of involved helping a family sell their home while simultaneously purchasing their dream property across the state. The process had multiple moving parts — coordinating inspections, negotiating timelines, and managing a smooth closing — but the outcome was incredibly rewarding. We were able to sell their home above asking price and secure their new home in a competitive market, all while keeping stress to a minimum. Moments like this are what I love most about real estate: guiding clients through big life transitions and seeing their excitement when everything comes together perfectly.

Starting out as a marketing major in college and also pursued my passion for fashion and interior design, eventually becoming head designer at Sherwin-Williams for residential and commercial projects. Combining my love for marketing, design, and people, I was told I was “born for real estate” — so I earned my license at just 24. Today, with The Jocelyn Russo Group, I use my expertise in marketing, design, and strategy to help clients sell faster, for top dollar, and with confidence.

I bring a wealth of specialized education and training to benefit my clients. I am a Certified Home Stager, a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), and a Certified Listing Specialist, which allows me to expertly position homes in the market, cater to the unique needs of buyers and sellers, and maximize results. These certifications, combined with my marketing and design expertise, ensure every client receives a strategic, informed, and personalized experience.
