Prior to joining Homes By Mara, Jamie was an advertising sales planner for Scripps Networks Interactive’s Food Network and Cooking Channel where she was responsible for negotiating with advertising buyer seeking commercial space on the networks and closing ad deals.
Jamie says her advertising sales experience is a fine complement to her new focus in real estate. “Regardless of industry, my overall goal has always been to provide excellent customer attention and service, I have always made sure to follow up with clients and get them whatever information they need in a timely manner, which is a skill I am happy to bring to my real estate clients. As someone who has always worked in sales, I enjoy working within the sales sector because it allows me to meet new people and capitalize on my passion for accommodating people’s unique needs.”
Homes By Mara Realty President and Owner Mara Navaretta is pleased to have Jamie among her team of agents. “Jamie’s strong sales background and negotiating skill are great assets to have within today’s real estate market and we are delighted to have her bringing her experience to our agency and the clients we serve,” comments Navaretta. “She is no doubt a great addition to our team and the quality service we are dedicated to bringing to our clientele.” Colonna, who has Communications Bachelor’s Degree from Marymount Manhattan College, grew up in Middletown, New Jersey, before moving to Syosset in 2010.
