Find Your Dream Home.
About Me
Hi, I’m Jessie Borkowski, a REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate in Ames. I love serving people, and I’m passionate about helping them step into the next chapter of their lives with confidence. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a place you’ve loved for years, or simply exploring your options, my goal is to make the process feel clear and approachable from the very beginning.
How I Work
Before becoming an agent, I worked as an Executive Assistant, Project Manager, and Agile professional. Because of that experience, I bring a calm, steady approach to every transaction. I stay organized, communicate clearly, and think several steps ahead so you always know what to expect. More importantly, I guide at your pace — never rushed, always supported.
My Connection to Ames
I’ve lived in Ames since 2000, and I genuinely love this community. From our local coffee shops and restaurants to the trails and Ada Hayden, Ames has a warmth that makes it easy to call home. For that reason, helping people find their place here means a lot to me. There’s something special about being part of someone’s transition into a community you love.
Values I Lead With
Caring for others, acting with integrity, and offering grace guide the way I live — and naturally, the way I serve my clients. My husband, Rick, and I have five adult children and (almost) six grandchildren, and our family keeps me grounded and grateful. Those values show up in my work every day.
How I Support You
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, so I take time to understand what matters most to you. From the early conversations to the final signatures, I’m here to provide clarity, guidance, and support. Once we’re under contract, I offer weekly updates so you always know where things stand. Even after closing, I’m here as a resource whenever you need me.
If you’d like to meet for coffee and talk about your goals, I’d truly love to connect.
