Jette Youngblood

Jette is originally from Lynchburg, Virginia, and that explains her southern accent while living in the beautiful mountains of Logan, Utah, which is about 90 miles north of Salt Lake City. She graduated from North Carolina State with a degree in public relations and communications"a natural choice for a future top real estate agent, even though she had no idea at the time. Jette has been married to her husband, Jon, for eight years. They met in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while they were both "ski bums," as Jette fondly puts it. At the time, Jette was tending bar and Jon was a pizza delivery driver. Once married, they decided it was time to raise a family and moved to Logan, where Jon wanted to go to graduate school and had grown up there as well. Jette attended real estate school upon the urging of one of her regular customers (she was bartendering again), and in a very short time, has become Logan's number-one agent. She credits her bartendering background for being great training for real estate: "Dealing with people, always having a smile, never letting things upset you, and the better you are at your job, the more money you're going to make."

Jette and Jon have two young children, Jack and Maggie, who are a very high priority in Jette's life, which makes time management of utmost importance"a feat she accomplishes successfully through discipline, hard work, and by developing detailed checklists for virtually every task the team performs. While Jon has chosen to be the stay-at-home dad now, Jette makes sure that her evenings and weekends are set aside for her family. Together they love to camp and enjoy the outdoors and still enjoy skiing every chance they get.
