“People will forget what you said. They’ll forget what you did. But they’ll never forget how you made them feel.”
— Maya Angelou
This belief guides the way Jesse Sheldon approaches every real estate relationship. A client-focused, integrity-driven Broker with RE/MAX Northwest and the Gordy Marks Real Estate Team, Jesse is committed to making each home purchase or sale both positive and deeply supported.
He specializes in working with millennial buyers, probate and estate listings, and those looking to build long-term wealth through real estate investments. Backed by years of experience, strong negotiation skills, and a calm strategic approach, Jesse helps clients move confidently through Seattle’s competitive market.
Jesse’s entrepreneurial roots run deep. From early business ventures as a kid to founding a nonprofit at age 14 that ultimately served more than 8,000 children across Eastern Washington, he developed leadership skills well before stepping into real estate. During that time, he frequently spoke at leadership events and mentored young entrepreneurs—experiences that shaped his ability to communicate clearly, solve problems creatively, and support people during meaningful moments in their lives.
Today, Jesse brings that same drive into real estate. His background in business development, creative marketing, and ownership of multiple rental and Airbnb properties gives him a rare, investor-minded perspective. Clients appreciate his strategic thinking, his honesty, and his commitment to delivering a premium level of service regardless of price point. As a trusted member of the Gordy Marks Team, Jesse has built a reputation for deep market knowledge, strong client advocacy, and results that speak for themselves.
Above all, Jesse is passionate about helping people make smart decisions that protect their equity and set them up for long-term success. He strives to be more than a broker—he’s an advisor, a resource, and a steady partner throughout the process.
When he’s not working with clients, Jesse enjoys snow skiing in the winter—he was a ski instructor for six seasons—and attending music festivals during the summer. He is also a dedicated Board Member at Attain Housing in Kirkland, continuing his long-standing commitment to supporting his community.
