Jamie Kearns
Born and raised in the Idaho countryside, I learned a lot about hard work from a very young age.

I met my husband, Thomas, in school during an architecture class. After he graduated in 2014, we became engaged and moved to Portland, Oregon for his career as a landscape architect. We moved to Salt Lake City in October of 2015 for Thomas’s job. Shortly thereafter, I earned my real estate license and joined the Glenwild Realty team. From there, I went to Berkshire Hathaway Utah HomeServices. I can share my experiences of recently transplanting to Salt Lake City to help others who are moving to the area. I am fully focused on providing the highest customer service that I can to all of my clients. I am excited to help you through this process and to help you become part of the Salt Lake and Park City communities!
