OVBA Spotlight: Ogden Valley Real Estate to Benefit From Distinguished Broker’s Experience and Commitment to Ethics

by Justin Yates

          Since 1988, Joseph Jedrowicz has been involved in the real estate business, believing right from the start that being ethical is the number one priority. Within a few months, he will be moving to the Ogden Valley from North Ogden and will run his Mountain Country Realty business from home. Due to his hard work, integrity, and driving passion he has gone far and learned much. He has worked many years for RE/MAX, the world's number one real estate name. He has been the recipient of several awards and has been named as Broker Owner of the Year. He bought his first title company in 1997 and served there as president for nine years.
 

          Twenty-four years ago, Joe was living with his wife in Baltimore, Maryland. At that time, he began his work as a sales associate in the real estate business. Eight years later, in 1994, he visited the Ogden Valley for the first time and was stunned by its breathtaking beauty. Ever since, he has considered it one of the most beautiful places in the United States. He has longed to call it home, and today that is becoming a reality.
 

          He and his family moved to North Ogden in 2009. There, Joe continued to work for RE/MAX, maintaining property and business in both Maryland and Utah. More recently, Joe worked for Prudential Utah Real Estate, but has now decided to work independently and start his own real estate business as a professional, licensed broker.
 

          Joe’s main focus is to help people with their real estate decisions while giving them the peace of mind of knowing they are working with someone whom they can trust and who will work in favor of their best interest. He loves to complete successful transactions, ones that will not only benefit his clients now but also in the long run. “When everybody wins, it’s fun,” he says. “If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it.”
 

          For nearly three years, Joe has been a member of the Ogden Valley Business Association (OVBA). He recognizes the good the OVBA has done for people and the businesses that comprise it. He affirms that one beneficial aspect of OVBA membership, among others, is the exposure it brings to businesses, especially from internet marketing. The popular tourist websites Go-utah.com and Utah.com, for example, often advertise OVBA services and events. This kind of exposure, Joe believes, is the key to driving people to the Valley. As a nonprofit organization, the OVBA also values integrity, and Joe is glad to be a member.
         
          Joe is excited for the future of real estate in Utah and his opportunity to help it move forward effectively. Though he knows there are those who seek success by cutting ethical corners, he believes that success can be achieved while being completely ethical: "You gotta have ethics," he says. "Professional standards are paramount."

          Joe is a friendly, happy individual, eager to help people and teach them about buying, selling, or taking care of homes. He even has great stories to tell from the experiences he has gained throughout the years.
