Jessy Lee: Living the American Dream

Faith Takes A Turn

Jessy has always maintained a strong faith in God. Her faith has given her hope for a successful future and a desire to help others. During her high school and college years, Jessy worked in customer service jobs. She knew how to make people feel special. People always smiled when Jessy was around. Later, she became involved with missions work and helping the homeless. Jessy focused her attention on other people's needs and on making a positive impact. That direction was the beginning of her dream to become "someone even more."

On To The Next Level

After graduating from the University of California, Irvine, Jessy held several prominent positions in high-end retail. She felt she had found her niche. With an eye for fashion and design, strength in customer service and management skills, and a knack for fulfilling her clients' wishes, Jessy succeeded in every position. She was recognized for her good character and strong work ethic.

Along The Way

While Jessy's retail career was taking off, she fell in love with Jae Lee, whom she later married. Like Jessy, Jae has a strong work ethic and faith in God. In addition to his full-time graphic design career, Jae devotes his spare time to coaching water polo and swimming for kids in our local community. He is also an active member in the Korean Olympics Association. Jae is a loving and supportive husband who believes Jessy can accomplish anything.

Jessy's Personal Dream Fulfilled

That "someone even more" turned out to be a caring, professional and successful realtor. More than just making her business profitable, Jessy prides herself in providing her clients the best of everything - service, time, lasting relationships and simply being able to listen. Besides being one of Tarbell's top producers, she is also recognized as a relocation and preferred properties specialist. Jessy feels that the American dream is finally hers. Coming from humble beginnings and having accomplished so much, she is grateful to America. It is truly the land of opportunity.

Jessy Lee Recalls Her Humble Beginnings

As the youngest of three children in a family that emigrated from Korea in 1978, Jessy remembers how her parents struggled to make ends meet. Not knowing English and the American culture made the transition especially difficult. Jessy's parents worked tirelessly. They saw America as a land of opportunity and wanted to bring their children up in that tradition. Although money was scarce, there was much love in Jessy's home. And the family had something even more valuable - their faith in God.
