Meet the Team: Kelsey Jaros

And the team keeps growing! Meet Kelsey and learn about why she is excited to work in real estate and her favorite spots to eat in Chester County! 

Name

Kelsey Jaros

Position at MFRET

I am a Showing Assistant...hopefully soon to be agent! (If I can get through my class ;) )

How long have you worked for the MFRET?

I have only worked for MFRET for a matter of days, but am already so impressed by every one's enthusiasm for what they do and by their welcoming manor.

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor?

Hmmm I love all Ice Cream, but probably Cookie Dough

Favorite spot to grab dinner in Chester County?

I worked at Brother’s Pizza and Pasta in West Chester for three and a half years. I am addicted to their food and convinced my business alone has paid the electric bill for the time I worked there.

Where was the best vacation you have ever taken?

I have been on some amazing cruises but I would have to say the two times I travelled to Spain and France to visit with my sister who lives abroad were some life changing trips.

Favorite Website?

My guilty pleasure…Facebook!

Favorite App?

The amazing game of Flow. It is addicting with the vibrant colors and cool sounds. It makes me feel like I am five again.

Why do you like working in real estate?

I have had an obsession with the housing market the past couple years and I still do not know what sparked it. I find the field of real estate to be enticing because of my love of the housing market in combination with my love of working with people.

Favorite thing about Chester County?

Small town feel. When I first went to college, I had big ambitions of moving away to a big city. I attended Arizona State University to branch off and become the grown up version of myself. I quickly learned that the West Coast was nothing like Chester County (most people within five minutes of talking to me would ask, “Where are you from?”). I realized I did not love a big city in the desert and it was not all it was cracked up to be. I transferred home to West Chester after the first semester and realized that the small town feel of Chester County is not something to be taken for granted.

Carrie Underwood! She has been one of my favorite singers for a long time...and I would like to ask her about her leg workout!
