Jesse Schroeder
Associate Broker
Jesse has called Northern Colorado home since 2004, when he moved to the area at age nine. Raised with strong ties to the local agricultural community, Jesse developed an early understanding of agriculture, land, and the people who make Northern Colorado such a special place to live and work. That local perspective remains a valuable part of his real estate career.
Jesse became a licensed real estate agent in 2022 and is proud to bring his firsthand knowledge of Northern Colorado, agricultural roots, and strong work ethic to his clients. He and his wife are raising four children in Ault, with their children attending school in Eaton, keeping the family deeply connected to the communities they call home.
Outside of real estate, Jesse enjoys spending time with his family, including Boosky, the family's beloved Golden Retriever, and Birkie, their decidedly opinionated house cat. He is proud to serve the region he has grown up in and is committed to building lasting relationships while helping clients achieve their real estate goals.
