Jaquetta Anderson's Bio
![Jaquetta Anderson - Castles Unlimited, Inc. Jaquetta Anderson - Castles Unlimited, Inc.](https://pvu.thebluebook.com/inc/img/qp/2222185/castles-unlimited-inc-jaquetta-anderson-bio.jpg)
Jaquetta’s journey is unique and full of rich experiences in various educational and professional capacities, all of which have fostered the development of skills and knowledge necessary for an extraordinary luxury realtor. Jaquetta uses creativity, assessment, and multiple intelligences to market and sell homes, obtaining the best possible outcome as determined by clients. Furthermore, upon request, she is able to consider and provide resources for the overall wellness of clients and their loved ones to help make the process of buying/selling/moving successful for everyone.
Jaquetta holds various real estate credentials, such as a Pricing Strategies Advisor (PSA), At Home with Diversity (AHWD), Express Offers, Inside Sales Agent (ISA), and Luxury Market Certification. Furthermore, she has a formal degree beyond a masters and has attended multiple higher-level education institutions including Florida State University, Florida International University, University of Colorado, and most recently Harvard Business School Online. Her favorite things to study and research include the local market, negotiation, leadership, business development, and the overall wellness of individuals and organizations.
Believe it or not, Jaquetta’s passion for real estate and business began in early childhood and manifested itself in creative and elaborate play themes related to development planning and sales. Jaquetta was the “neighborhood realtor” who attempted to engage other children and pets in touring “homes” which she imagined to be almost everywhere including, but not limited to, the back of the family station wagon, on tree limbs, in swimming pools, and in boxes on the porch. Jaquetta inherited her interest in real estate from her beloved father who was a residential real estate investor and enthusiast. As a child, she spent many weekends with her parents touring open houses, driving around neighborhoods, reviewing floor plans, and dreaming of real estate, especially luxury homes. Jaquetta would imagine extravagant stories regarding imported building materials, unique home features, and the history of homes. Jaquetta also had an interest in education and teaching, which was suggested by her father to be more the practical career at the time.
During the first part of her adult career, Jaquetta focused primarily within the field of education. Jaquetta is an educational leader with over two decades of experience in education as a teacher, school psychologist, district coordinator, adjunct professor, school administrator, and coach. It is through these experiences that she has honed professional practices in communication, relationships, customer service, and problem solving and that her appreciation for values, such as trustworthiness, integrity, persistence, and work ethic have been implemented.
Jaquetta currently resides in the South Metro Denver area. She is married and has three children. Outside of real estate, Jaquetta enjoys creative projects, such as crafting, Pilates, and spending time with her two adopted dogs, Einstein and Chloe. She also enjoys meeting new people and looks forward to hearing from you soon.
