Why Choose Mantle Realty With Jessica Pherson– The Inside Scoop
Finding the Right Fit in Real Estate
When you’re choosing a real estate firm, it’s not just about splits, signs, or brand colors — it’s about alignment. That’s exactly what Jessica was searching for when she interviewed at multiple brokerages before deciding on Mantle Realty back in 2017. What she wanted was something *different*: a firm that combined credibility with a fresh perspective. “I just felt a connection when I interviewed at Mantle,” Jessica recalls. “They were newer, but there was a real energy. A Darth Vader statue, a slide in the office, and the broker changing his daughter’s diaper mid-interview — and not missing a beat. That told me everything I needed to know. It was real.” —
Staying for the Growth and the Culture
Since that memorable interview, Jessica has been a part of Mantle’s evolution — from a small building across from the local high school to three full-fledged offices across the Triad, including locations in Welcome, Kernersville, and High Point. “I’ve stayed because I’ve seen promises actually turn into action. We’ve grown with our branding, our technology, our systems — everything,” she says. “But what really keeps me here is the people.” For Jessica, the relationships with her team members are more than professional — they’re personal. “It’s not perfect, no place is. But I love my team. I trust them. And I know I can come to my broker or coworkers and get honest, real support.” —
The Power of Community and Celebration
Ask Jessica about her favorite moments at Mantle Realty, and her face lights up. From Christmas parties at a Brazilian steakhouse to tailgates and bounce houses, she’s made countless memories through company events. “We bring the party — even if it’s just us. We’ve got a good time no matter what,” she laughs. “Those events build more than fun. They build culture. They build loyalty.” It’s that energy — both playful and professional — that gives Mantle Realty its unique edge. The team works hard, trains together, and makes room for real connection, which Jessica believes is rare in today’s industry.
Transitioning from Another Firm: A Cultural Shift
Before relocating to North Carolina, Jessica was licensed in the Northeast — bringing a different style and communication approach that took some adjusting in the Triad. “I’m from New Jersey, so I’m used to being blunt. Down here, people are a little softer in how they communicate,” she explains. “It wasn’t hard to transition to Mantle’s systems or tech — it was just adapting to the vibe.” Jessica’s adaptability and authenticity made the transition seamless, and she quickly became part of Mantle’s culture without losing her edge. “I’m still me — just with a touch of Southern charm now,” she jokes.
Why Jessica Still Believes in Mantle Realty
With so many agents switching firms or chasing flashy incentives, Jessica is often asked: “Why stay?” Her answer is simple: “Because this is home.” “I think about leaving sometimes — everyone does. But then I think about Bonnie, Daniela, Amanda, and all the people I work with. I’d miss them too much,” she says. “It’s the team that makes it.” She also emphasizes the importance of working with a firm that invests in its agents, both professionally and personally. “We don’t just say we do things differently — we actually do. And that matters.”
Diversity, Technology, and the Future
Jessica is especially proud of how Mantle Realty embraces agents from all walks of life. “We’ve got agents of all backgrounds, ages, and cultures. The diversity here is something I haven’t seen in other firms.” Combine that with cutting-edge systems, team support, and a leadership team that actually follows through, and you’ve got a firm that’s built for long-term success — not just quick recruiting wins.
Considering a Career Move?
If you’re an agent considering a switch or just getting started in real estate, Jessica has one key piece of advice: “Find a place that pours into you — not one you constantly have to pour into. That’s what Mantle does. They build you up, they show up, and they back you every step of the way.” Looking for that kind of support in your real estate career?
