Start the buying process
Midwest warmth meets Florida calm
St. Pete homes with character. Guidance without the pressure.
I'm Jessica Yatooma, a St. Petersburg Realtor® for people who love the bungalows, the Spanish tile, and the streets with real trees. I answer my own messages, I tell you the truth about every house, and I never treat you like a lead.
Real replies, from me. Text, DM, or call — you'll always hear back from Jessica, not a bot.

Why me, honestly
The longer answer
What you get that you won't get everywhere
You get me, not a bot
DMs, calls, showings, negotiations — it's me every time. My clients' most common words: real, authentic, honest.
The map walkthrough
Every consult starts with the lay of the land: neighborhoods, streets, trade-offs, and what your budget really buys where. Clients tell me nobody else does this.
Ops-grade organized
Before real estate I ran service operations. Contracts, deadlines, inspections, lender follow-ups — tracked, handled, and never dropped.
Calm is a strategy
I'm a certified yoga instructor. When negotiations get tense, you'll be glad your agent is the grounded one in the room.
Michigan to Florida, fluently
I made the Detroit-to-St. Pete move myself. Cost-of-living realities, neighborhood fit, moving logistics — I've lived the answers.
I'll talk you out of the wrong house
If a house has problems, you'll hear them from me first. Honest beats easy — that's how referrals are earned.
