JAMIE DESIMONE - ARLINGTON, VA (DC METRO)
Founding Partner at Real Estate Pet Project
In 2021 we created a Facebook group to connect with fellow real estate professionals involved in animal rescue. This group has since grown to over 1,200 agents throughout the world all working to end animal abuse, negelect and homelessness in their communities. Our goal is to help animals rescues by sharing systems, models and ideas while providing useful marketing content and consulting to both our agent partners and rescue friends.
Cat Wrangler at Homes for All Real Estate Team
After a 20-year career in nonprofit/association management I decided to jump into something I had wanted to do since I graduated college – Real Estate. Since 2010, I’ve been building the Homes for All Team and our brand of supporting local animal recues with every home purchase/sale. Our mission is to find great homes for both people and their pets. Coming together with Joe and Cristina to help launch the Real Estate Pet Project has been exciting and we’re hoping to encourage other agents across the
country to share our goals in supporting local animal rescues and changing the life of pets and their people.
History in Rescue
Pets have been a big part of my life since the day I was born and I’m happy to have shared my life with a myriad of animal companions from my horse, Buckwheat to my current menagerie of cats and one slightly aged Pitbull. I started volunteering with rescues back in 2002 and haven’t looked back. I have done everything from fundraising, transport, events, cage cleaning, adoptions and fostering. Currently I serve as a kitten foster for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington’s Kitten College program.
