Jessie focuses her practice on real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, development, leasing, and related business transactions, with a focus on lending and commercial finance transactions, across both the private and public sectors.

Jessie represents developers, corporate real estate departments, municipalities, tenants, and landlords in matters relating to development projects, diligence review, drafting and negotiating of lease documents, and drafting and negotiating purchase agreements and transfer documents. Jessie prides herself on being organized and attentive to clients and enjoys any opportunity to streamline a process. 

Jessie has closed numerous CMBS, agency debt, and conventional commercial loans for lenders and borrowers related to real estate, equipment and machinery.
