Jenny Olson-Paden

Advocate ~ Encourager ~ Connector Born and raised in Kansas City. After running a chain of successful garden centers my family decided to open a pet store in the heart of downtown Lee's Summit. We opened the Spring of 2008. The economy was good in Kansas City. Come the Summer of 2010 things had changed. Many of the customers that we had come to know and love were being let go from long time jobs. Each day I had clients coming in, begging me to take their animals because they were losing their homes. Amazon Prime was catching on and many people were purchasing supplies online. In 2012 we could no longer keep our doors open. Unfortunately it had taken a huge toll on both my parents and my husband and I. We came close to losing our home on two occasions. Thankfully, my mom was working in real estate and short sales were a necessary skill for agents at that time. Many agents didn't know what they were doing with them but thankfully mom did. Had I not had her to turn to I know I would have lost the house. I joined her in real estate in 2013 and decided to specialize in distressed properties. I am mom to three amazing boys that we adopted in 2009. My husband and I have been married for 20 years. After the pet store he decided to go over the road as a truck driver. I enjoy spending time with the boys and my pets. When I get a free minute I love to read horror, mystery and true crime. My guilty pleasure is reality TV. Bring on the Real Housewives baby. Every day I strive to be an Advocate, Encourager and a Connector. So if you are still reading this you must be asking yourself, how does this help you as you are looking for a distressed property agent? Those that know me can tell you I am as stubborn as the day is long. I work hard to establish relationships with negotiators and points of contacts within the bank. I blame my true crime obsession but problem solving is my jam. I understand that this process is not easy. It is normal for tears and frustration. I am blessed because most of my clients become friends. If you think you might need to sell your home in a short sale, reach out. The sooner the better. Our first meeting is free and my fee is negotiated with the bank. I am licensed in both Missouri and Oklahoma.
