After leaving her Physical Therapy Practice to begin a career in real estate, Jean Tan Jones knew she was on the right track, when in her first year at Watson Realty she had sales of $5 million. The next year, with Prudential Network Realty, Jones sold $8 million in properties. During those two years she won numerous awards for listings, loans produced and sales. Now, Jones has formed Magnolia Properties at her Atlantic Beach Office, which brings together realtors, mortgage brokers and property managers for top-flight service to all of her clients. Her philosophy is based on the idea that hard work and customer service will ensure that her company will flourish. “My family owns several bakeries in the Philippines, and I learned that hard work pays off and happy customers are the key to successful business,” she says. “At Magnolia Properties at Atlantic Beach Office, we want our customers to thoroughly enjoy their experience and enthusiastically tell all their friends and family about us,” she further explains. Once a month, Jean provides free medical services for those without medical insurance along with volunteer doctors and nurses.
