About Me

For me, it's all about connecting the right people with the right property...
Sticks & bricks matchmaking!

Welcome to my website! First, I want to let you know I love selling real estate in Northern Virginia. I have over 25 years of experience in the new homes industry and resale market. As a native of Fairfax County, I am intimately acquainted with the communities and neighborhoods throughout the area, and having raised a family here, I have first hand experience with local schools and community organizations. An avid equestrian I understand the unique needs of those who have horses in their lives and the importance of accommodating that passion as well.  Also, if you need to know where the arts & music scene is in a town, I'll help you find what's nearby! I will work with you tirelessly to find the home that matches your unique set of expectations, and as a skilled negotiator and experienced advisor, I will guide you smoothly through the entire transaction. As a seller, you will appreciate my knowledge of the local market and my ability to position and price your home for a timely and equitable sale of your property. When you are ready to get moving to your next home, I'd love to help you and earn your trust. Fairfax County, Arlington County, Loudoun County and Prince William County are all areas I service.

Whether I'm helping buyers or sellers; whether it's a condo, single family, or townhome; up-sizing, down-sizing or right-sizing; whether it's commercial sale or lease needs; whether it's new construction (yes, NEW construction - did you know you can benefit from having representation when purchasing from a builder? After all, the agent in the model home is representing the builder, who's representing you?), or previously loved home; move-in condition or a handyman special, I have what it takes to get you what you need, where and when you need it!

I promise your text, email or call will receive a prompt response.

"5 Stars are not enough!!! Jeni walked me through every step of the selling process right from day 1. She kept of track of everything that needed to be done and followed up with me to see if I needed any assistance. She responded to my questions in record time and remained calm and re-assuring during those periods when I wasn't. She helped us with pricing and selection of the best buyer, and her excellent advice got us 17k MORE than we wanted for our house! Our home wasn't a million dollar property, but Jeni made us feel like million dollar clients. She was fantastic!"

"Jeni and I met at an open house she was hosting and, when i was ready to start seriously looking for a new home, I reached out to her. Jeni made herself readily available to me for all questions and concerns and spent hours of her time showing me homes in the area. She was very knowledgeable of every neighborhood we viewed and took the time to understand exactly what i was looking for. When we fond the home I wanted to purchase, Jeni acted quickly and walked me through every step from start to finish. I would highly recommend working with her to anyone in the Northern VA area!"

"Jeni Blessman worked tirelessly to help us find and purchase our house and always with a smile on her face. Although my wife and I found the process of purchasing the house confusing and exhausting, Ms. Blessman answered to our questions with a calm reassurance and a warm smile that gave us faith that all would work out fine. And it did. Ms. Blessman is a true real estate professional. She has a vast knowledge of the real estate market and effortlessly guided us from finding our dream house to signing on the dotted line at closing. She was always available to answer questions or push things along to stay on schedule. She guided us through the mundane tasks of scheduling and following up with everything from house inspections to land surveyors to putting us in touch with the right loan company and title company and making sure that all the documents were in order and all deadlines were met. Her knowledge, skills, and dedication were the key to us moving into our new home as planned. It is a joy to work with Ms. Blessman. She is always upbeat and energetic and a great person to have on your side when faced with the mysterious labyrinth of home buying."

"We started out just wanting to rent. Then Jeni suggested exploring the option to buy. Then we went back to renting. Then we went back to buying. Jeni was with us the WHOLE TIME with unending patience. We were first time buyers and really didn't have a lot of knowledge of the process except for what you see on "Million Dollar Listing". We were far from that level. We got in touch with Lindsay Simmons Beale (amazing to work with as well) who got us pre approved for a home loan. She found the right loan product for us with the best rates and options. An absolute pleasure to work with. Back to Jeni. We searched high and low for houses in our price range. Just when we were about to call it we came across a house that was just over our budget. We figured what the heck, lets put in an offer. We thought for sure the buyers would laugh at us or even be offended. A few days later Jeni calls. They were entertaining it! Long story short, she negotiated an amazing deal which we were certain we couldn't get. Jeni guided us through the entire process from beginning to end. She was tenacious and unrelenting in her search to find the perfect home. She advised us every step of the way. She did everything short of literally holding our hand and made sure the whole process went smoothly. Another thing I loved about Jeni is that she was realistic. She never led us to believe something that wasn't actually going to happen. There were a couple of hiccups along the way with our loan process but she kept us calm and told us no matter what we would find a home. There was never an empty promise or false hope. We closed 30 days later right down the street from our NEW HOME and headed straight over to get a little painting done before the move in. I literally cannot rave enough about working with Jeni. She is one of the most genuine and honest people I know. It didn't hurt that we had a ton of mutual friends as well. Needless to say, WE ARE CLIENTS FOR LIFE! Thank you for everything Jeni! SIDE NOTE: Everyone involved in the process was fantastic. From our lender to the settlement company. Even the sellers and their agent were incredible. We're actually all friends on Facebook and still see each other at neighborhood events."

"Jeni Blessman was simply a joy in her work on our behalf. She showed us numerous houses and helped us find the one that was perfect for the location we needed and our budget. From the time we put in an offer until we settled she was attentive and efficient with the myriad of confusing tasks we needed to complete the transaction. We've been in our new home for over a year. We are very pleased with the gracious guidance Jeni Blessman provided. Jeni Blessman is a true real estate professional from her knowledge of the market and how to successfully navigate it to her ability to understand the needs of the parties, all with a smile on her face. Her diligence and caring show through in all she does. I recommend her to anyone who ventures out into the real estate market."

Jeni is a pro in real estate! She took the time and interest in getting know us and getting to know the type of house we were searching for. She was therefore able to recommend houses to us immediately when they came on the market, giving us an advantage in the very competitive real estate market  in Northern Virginia. She was also speedy in responding to us and a very skillful negotiator.

Thank you!!! Jeni I just want to express how much I appreciate all your time and efforts with being by my side through this process. I would not have done this or considered this if it wasn’t for you and our “connection” which I would like to say friendship now. I trust in you, and as a first time buyer on my own, you have been an angel. You have gone above and beyond and it really means a lot to me.
Maybe I am a cheese ball but like I said before “I am blessed to have met the Blessmans”. My “thank you” doesn’t even express my gratitude.

In my profession as a Mortgage Bankers of many years I have interacted with many real estate agents, and Jeni is the best and most "genuine" real estate professional I have met. Her demeanor and approach is very professional and very personal. She is approachable and respects every aspect of one's  opinion. She proffers her opinions in a gentle and a sincere manner. Any and All Buyers would certainly benefit from her expertise and approach.

Hey Jeni,
I saw the really cute gift you sent to my parents’ house, it was so nice of you! I just wanted to let you know that I referred a friend of mine to you…he’s not 100% about looking yet, but he’ll probably make a decision one way or another in the near future. I told him to mention my name if he contacts you so you'll know why he’s calling. Also I’m still waiting to hear back from my cousin Liz about her and her husband’s housing search. I think they were looking for a realtor too, so I told her that I would pass your info on to them, I just haven’t heard back from them yet. Anyway I hope one of these might pan out as clients for you. I’ll keep your info handy if I hear of any other friends looking for places. Not that the seller’s realtor was bad, at the closing but I just felt that you were a lot more on top of things for me than he seemed to be for them and I really appreciated that…as you know I’m somewhat meticulous (ha!) so that made the process a lot more comfortable for me. Well, I ‘ll have to have you over once I’m actually fully unpacked and decorated so you can see what I’ve done with the place. Have a good week!

I worked with Jeni a couple years ago to sell my 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo in North Point Reston. Having been my first experience as the seller, I had a lot of questions and concerns on the end-to-end process. Jeni was very patient in explaining the process and answering al of my questions. Since I was in a position of price to sell with a hard sell date, Jeni was great at setting realistic pricing for my condo based on my “must sell by” date to not have two mortgages. In addition she gave me great suggestions on staging my place to better set it apart from the competition. Jeni put together a comprehensive marketing strategy and work a lot of hours to get more visibility for my condo. Her brochures, open houses and mail pushes to local realtors were the constant attention my condo needed to get the sold. After adjusting the price a little, we had three viable offers on the table. Jeni took the time to help me appropriately counter the offers and she did not hesitate in responding with my negotiations back to the potential buyers. We reviewed all offers and discussed the pros/cons of each to make the best choice for my, “hard dell date”. Along with her professional business demeanor, Jeni was wonderful with my old kitty. She made sure that people coming into my condo were aware of her and did not let her out. All in all it was a great first experience in selling my condo.
Sincerely,

I am delighted to heartily recommend Jeni Blessman as a first rate real estate agent, without reservation
In 2008 Jeni listed and successfully sold my 2 bedroom condo in Arlington, VA in a difficult market. She was the epitome of professionalism, always working on my behalf, energetic, persistent and accommodating.
I especially appreciated her consideration when showing my condo to prospective clients of my cats and my dog. 
I consider her a friend now and I wouldn’t hesitate to engage Jeni to sell any future property that I might want to sell or buy.
Sincerely.

Dear Jeni,
Well, here we are! Closing day for the WORLDS’S MOST ANNOYING COUPLE! We have taxed your time over these last weeks. But you did not flag- even through endless motorcycle tours, 6 rounds of negotiations and a finicky hot tub!
Most amazing of all, in the midst of putting up with our craziness, you have shown extraordinary kindness and generosity. Thank you for all you have done,. We couldn’t have made this day happen without you, especially these last few weeks. Thanks for being our realtor, our partner and our friend.
So, enjoy a night out with your man on us and treat yourself to a decant piece of chocolate (or 10). Heck, girl, you earned it!
With gratitude, Darcy
Jeni – I am so grateful for all you did for us, especially after I lost my Dad,. You are a marvelous soul!
Tim
P.S. You and Darrin are first on the guest list for the inaugural Willow Valley Shindig!!!
