Rosemary's entreprenurial spirit and business autonomy have propelled her through publishing and healthcare careers as well as contract sales with Xerox & Honeywell, but real estate has claimed the longest tenure spanning nearly two decades. Much of her time in real estate has been with major Houston agencies. She credits her broad range of experiences with sharpening her business skills and guiding her on how to effectively communicate with the clients she represents. 

Rosemary believes the best part of her career is creating a happy, seamless outcome for her buyers and sellers while identifying and meeting the personal goals of each client. She takes pride in helping Houston transplants as well as those new to the area in finding the perfect home. Equally enjoyable is positioning and marketing a client's home for a successful outcome. Having grown up in Sugar Land and moving to Houston after high school, Rosemary knows this market well and that knowledge works to the advantage of all of her clients. 

In addition to affiliation with local, state and national real estate associations, Rosemary is a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist. She is also a past president of her previous neighborhood's homeowners' association representing more than 2,000 homes. 

Entertaining in their Woodlands home and traveling the world -- from the Artic Circle to the Mediterranean -- occupy a large portion of the time she shares with her husband, Randy. When not working or traveling, Rosemary enjoys time with family gatherings of children and grandchildren or cheering for the Astros, Texas and especially the Rockets. She also enjoys gardening and landscaping and is a Master Gardener.

Friends and colleagues highlight Margarita Jacobs' communication and problem-solving skills as some of her biggest strengths, noting her fine-tuned attention to detail. "At the end of the day, my clients want results", she says, "...and my clients should know that I will always go the extra mile to ensure that their experience is both enjoyable and as stress-free as possible." Margarita's clients have come to rely on her attentiveness, responsiveness, and diligence. "The home decision is too personal to rely on some cookie-cutter approach; being able to adapt to specific situations and needs is how I can best provide clients with the JDR experience."

Margarita is especially familiar with her Bellaire neighborhood, in addition to West University, the Medical Center, Tanglewood (and the Galleria area), and River Oaks, in addition to other Inner Loop locales. She moved to Houston from Belarus (Russia) at the age of four. Her parents serve as an inspiration, and their story "exemplifies all that is good about the American dream." A Texan at heart, Margarita didn't stray far from Houston, earning a Finance degree from McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin, where she was also a member of Alpha Kappa Psi. After five years in consulting and financial analysis, Margarita chose to pursue a career in real estate because "I enjoy the human interaction and I know that success is defined by results." She adds, "What makes this job special to me is that it's not about finding a house-it's about finding a home."

Conversational in Russian and Hebrew, Margarita lives with her husband, Mike, and dog, Toby. Her hobbies include travel, the arts, tennis, and working out. Active in her community, she is a regular volunteer at Texas Children's Hospital. "Bringing joy to any child is a gift in itself, especially a child whose life has taken a step back."
