Send emailLicensed in both Texas and California for over 7 years as a real estate associate, Joseph Palatka, provides the experience, knowledge and home base in working with both buyers and sellers across state lines. As Houston has become a destination point for some of America's top corporations, Joseph brings his relocation knowledge to the table. Before beginning his career in real estate, Joseph, a former Hollywood actor and entrepreneur at heart, started a healthcare staffing firm where he worked first-hand with some of the largest healthcare systems in the country. In doing so, he successfully provided hundreds of careers for healthcare employees nationwide. Yet, his passion for real estate took priority upon becoming involved in many renovation and investment property opportunities. Thereby, Joseph pivoted his entrepreneurial spirit into becoming a licensed Realtor in two states. Through his former experience in investment properties, he found his true calling in crafting strategically with his clients, eventually taking him home to Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty. Mr. Palatka graduated from the University of Oklahoma with degrees in both Marketing and International Business as well as minors in Management Information Systems and Spanish. Joseph also served as Treasurer of the Golden Key National Honor Society. Currently, he is involved in many local nonprofits, and loves to help children. Joseph resides in the Sugar Land area of Houston.
BACKGROUND
After growing up in San Francisco then Seattle, I lived in several places across the country, including Florida, back to Seattle, two stops in New Jersey then Dallas and Birmingham, AL. With 15 years in this city, I now call Houston home for good! My educational background brings with it Canadian boarding school for high school and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish language and literature from Whitman College. My professional background is in personal insurance where I worked for Chubb Insurance Company on the West Coast and East coast. I have always had an interest in Real Estate, stemming from family involvement and ownership in a real estate company since childhood.
FAMILY, FUN AND GIVING BACK
I have three grown children and my trusty canine side kick, Paco. I am lucky enough to have one son who lives in Houston who is a Longhorn Lawyer, an Ole Miss rebel who works in oil and gas in Austin and a daughter who is works in Washing DC at the US Capitol. My hobbies are anything that involve the outdoors, and being in or around the water and in the mountains is my idea of a perfect vacation. I try to stay fit and set a new athletic goal each year. So far a triathlon has been my most intense but who knows what the future may hold! Every year in October I do something new every single day of the month. All New October has become a favorite annual tradition and I learn wonderful things about our great city! Need ideas? I usually have one to share.
In October of 2022, I will be a 23-year cancer survivor and hold this cause very near to my heart. My Homes Bring Hope program donates a portion of each sale compensation to a non-profit organization which aids either health, education, children or animals. There are several nonprofit organizations with whom I partner, that receive a portion of my compensation, simply because a client mentions their name or affiliation with the organization. I love to give to my favorite charities, and I would love to give to yours too! When we are getting acquainted, please let me know what is important to you! If my clients do not have a favorite non-profit, I donate to The Rose, a fabulous local breast health organization.
WHY CHOOSE JENNY??
Because I have personally moved several times, and helped many families during 14 years in the real estate industry, I know the importance of finding a place to call home where you feel comfortable. I also know how important it is to have a good Realtor! I pride myself on exceptional communication skills and always leave my clients knowing what is going to happen next. Contracts are a specialty and I am very detail oriented.
Over the years I have developed a strong list of partners to whom I can confidently refer my clients, knowing they will receive excellent service. We all work together to make your home sale or purchase as stress-free, streamlined and pleasant as possible.
I have been a member of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing since 2008 and certified with them since 2015. From first time home buying to multiple move ups, downsizing, investing and new construction, I am here for every step of the way.
I am proud of my 5 star Client Experience rating and extremely satisfied clients! I was consistently ranked as one of the Top 20% of Realtors® in my prior brokerage of over 700 people, and will thrive in my new environment at Coton House as well. My current real estate business is 95% referral based, and my loyal client following is to be given high thanks for that!
