Our February NextHomie of the Month has brought to us a sea of enthusiasm, a field of passion, a cloud of positivity, and a giant ball of energy. These characteristics belong to the one and only Jenny Walton of NextHome Kel Mitchell in Huntsville, Alabama!

There’s nothing Jenny can’t tackle once she sets her mind to it. “She is selfless, enthusiastic, a dreamer, and a cheerleader,” said Kelvin Mitchell, Jenny’s broker. “Jenny is the ultimate example of a servant leader. I am amazed at her work ethic and ability to juggle multiple tasks and transactions so effortlessly,” added Kelvin.

For Jenny, that’s just who she is. “I’m a single mom and I’ve raised my daughter in real estate and I want to be a role model for my daughter, for women and for other people who think they can’t do it all as a single parent and still be successful,” said Jenny.

Jenny’s daughter, Ella Rose (6), taught her early on that she had to focus when it comes to the real estate business. “You can get distracted and let this business consume you,” said Jenny. “It’s a balance.”

That balance is also how Jenny found her success. “To me, success is happiness. It’s being able to help others, it’s being mindful and enjoying your life and enjoying the people you love.”

Jenny’s real estate journey started while working at several marketing companies and led to working at an attorney’s office. In 2010 she began her journey into real estate as she found a home builder who offered her the opportunity to sit at his model homes on the weekends. Jenny eventually found a full-time position sitting on-site for some of Huntsville’s top builders.

Ella Rose came along in 2012, and although Jenny’s passion lies in new construction, she realized that lifestyle would not allow her the flexibility she needed to raise her daughter, so she reached out to high school classmate Kelvin Mitchell. Jenny left her other positions behind and joined Kelvin’s NextHome office in 2015.

Today, Jenny is both a working REALTOR® and NextHome Kel Mitchell’s Marketing Director where her and Kelvin have been thrilled to work together.

“Jenny consistently goes above and beyond for her clients as well as her fellow NextHome agents,” said Kelvin. “Jenny recently organized an event to feed the homeless. We put together care boxes that included food, hand warmers, socks, toothpaste, and essentials. We were able to bless 80 homeless people because of her vision.”

To Jenny Walton, that’s all in a day’s work.

“Always persevere,” said Jenny. “Always do the thing you fear most because on the other side of fear is success.”

Bent on focusing her life on her two main passions – Ella Rose and Real Estate – Jenny started a networking group called “Coffee is for Closers” which meets Wednesday mornings, right after she drops off Ella Rose at school.

Whether it be her networking group, her daughter, or her real estate clients, Jenny understands what every person wants out of life. “Life is about connections, about connecting with people. For me, being a REALTOR® means I’m able to be a part of one of the most important times of my clients’ lives, and I get their trust to help me navigate them through it.”

That sense of trust, passion, and positivity is what drew Jenny to NextHome.

“To be a NextHomie means putting people first, helping others and reaching out when others need you,” said Jenny. “It means being an ambassador for your company.”

Even today, Jenny still marvels at what she sees unfolding in front of her. “For NextHome, it’s the people, the culture, the tools, and technology,” she added. “No matter how big we’ve grown, we still have that sense of family and community.”

If there is anyone who understands real estate and family, it’s Jenny Walton. We’re thrilled to recognize her as our NextHomie of the Month.
