ABOUT THE FORD GROUP
When Jessica and Michael Ford began dating nearly twenty years ago, they quickly discovered they were aligned in their deepest values and dreams. Both had a deep commitment to their faith and serving others. They also shared an entrepreneurial spirit that would eventually take them into several businesses together.
Entrepreneurs, Investors, REALTORS®
Today, Michael and Jessica are a dynamic duo Jessica is a Top Realtor and both are the new faces of The Ford Group with Chinowth & Cohen Realtors. Jessica ran a salon business and was a top cosmetologist for many years, while Michael ran several direct sales businesses. Michael began investing in real estate in the early 2000s, and Jessica joined him after they married in 2007. The couple bought and flipped foreclosed homes through the recession, falling in love with the real estate business as well as the opportunity to serve their community.
Following Their Passion
Real estate has long been Jessica and Michael’s passion. In 2018, Jessica was licensed and Michael joined her in a support role, beginning the next stage in the evolution of their real estate careers. Over the past five years, the business has grown exponentially. Jessica Ford & Associates closed 76 transactions for $19 million in 2022.
Adding Value to Their Community
Jessica and Michael provide some unique value-added services, too. One of their unique offerings is linked to their new company, Low Demo Reno.
“We work with sellers who would like to renovate to sell for top dollar. We look at their home, price up a renovation to make it move-in ready for the next family, and then we renovate it at no [up front] cost to them. They simply pay at closing. It’s a huge value add for sellers to get top dollar for their property,” Michael explains.
Jessica and Michael are also the hosts and co-producers of American Dream TV, Selling Tulsa. Their role as lifestyle and real estate experts allows them to share inspiring stories of business owners, charities, and nonprofits in Tulsa.
“As a husband and wife team, business owners, and investors, we want to be of value to the community and pay it forward. One of the ways we want to do that is by sharing our love for Tulsa,” Michael explains.
Michael & Jessica first connected through their shared commitment to their faith. They are involved in various nonprofits and other local organizations, including their church and a new program they created, Backpacks for First Responders. This organization provides backpacks for children that have been removed from their homes for domestic or substance abuse.
“We want to serve people and to love people well. We are here to show love to people, to show them that we care and they do matter. We love our community,” Jessica says.

April Sheppard (June 29, 2021)
“Jesssica hellped me in picking out the fixtures and rearrange the kitchen, then sold the property very quickly”
Mark Gregory (February 1, 2022)
I want to start by saying Jessica helped us find our rent house in 2019 and I have been on her search engine for 2 years for a home to buy. I called her up in beginning of January 2021 and told her I found “the one” and she met us there that night and put in an offer. There were 15 other offers on the table and Jessica knew how to make ours the most desirable. She pushed the right people and we closed in less than 30 days. She gets the job done right and fast! I would recommend her to anyone looking to find your dream home. Thank you Jessica!
Ashley Flurry (August 10, 2021)

I have my OWN house.”

THE POWER OF VIDEO
As a real estate agent, part of the value of your services is your ability to create and implement a successful marketing plan. These days, standard real estate marketing strategies incorporate digital marketing materials. Featuring virtual tours on your site is an elegant way to signal to clients that you’re aware of cutting-edge technological solutions and that your services include a versatile marketing toolkit. They’ll be impressed by your property listings and your marketing savvy.
PHOTO/VIRTUAL TOURS
Our professional video tours establish the sense of ownership that is crucial to nudging clients towards finalizing the real thing. Virtual tours allow clients to tour the property on their own time and at their own pace, giving them a sense of personal connection. You can enhance this sense of connection by adding virtual tours to a suite of other interactive features. The more time and energy they invest, the more likely they’ll feel committed to reaching out to you with an inquiry.
DRONE FOOTAGE
If there is one universal truth about home buyers, it’s that they are terrible at visualizing space. Is your property unique? Palacial? An acrege with natural beauty? Our drone footage will show it all! Most listing photography does little to help. For example, say your listing has a huge 3 acre backyard, but 75% of it is obscured by trees. The photo on your listing makes it look tiny. With a drone video, you can capture the entire yard in one video and show buyers just how big a space it really is.
Using specific keywords, targeted locations, and search behavior, we craft custom Google Pay-Per-Click campaigns to drive potential buyers to your home’s listing. This helps your listing stand out to those who may be most interested.
PAID TARGETED
There’s no better way to sell your home than to have interested buyers walk through the front door. We advertise and promote your home to potential buyers and their agents in advance to ensure successful Open Houses.
TOP
Not all agents will have clients interested in your home. We specifically target the top agents bringing buyers to your neighborhood and your price point. Our focused communication means that agents pay attention when they hear from us.
Professionally designed and commercially printed, our Chinowth & Cohen property flyers allow buyers to take away a favorable representation of your home after every showing.
We understand buyers’ search preferences can vary and don’t rely on just our website to promote your listing. We provide exposure on Zillow, one of the most used real estate search websites in the country, to ensure your home is seen by a wide audience.
EXPOSURE ON ZILLOW
Most buyers work with an agent in the purchase of their home, so generating excitement within the Broker Community is critical to the success of your sale. By showcasing your property to outside Brokers, we build a sales team of agents who want to sell your property.
By participating in our local MLS, your home will reach all agents in the area as well as show on other Brokerage websites. This increases exposure, and allows us to better cooperate with other agents who may have the perfect buyer for your home.
We host a website specifically for your property, where potential buyers can follow the status, share with friends, request showings and much more. This encourages engagement with your home online and showcases your property individually.
WEBSITE SPECIFIC TO YOUR PROPERTY DISTINCTIVE PROFESSIONAL FLYERS
We maintain an internal Client Relationship Management database consisting of tens of thousands of potential buyers. We will match your property to specific buyers based on location, price and size and contact them directly about your listing.
If your home and desired selling strategy requires more from us, we can do it! Every home sale is different, and we can’t wait to create the perfect plan for you.
Elite TV features your property on Sunday at 10 AM on the CW or streaming from ccoklahoma.com. Our professionally produced 30 minute show features area homes with video and voice over highlighting your property’s features.
Many man hours go into the marketing of each and every Chinowth & Cohen listing. No agent can do it alone. We have a team of twelve full-time marketing staff who execute the many steps necessary to deliver our marketing services to you.
TEAM APPROACH
First impressions matter in the sale of your home. Our clean and professional signs let potential buyers know you are working with a reputable firm in the sale of your home without detracting from the curb appeal of the property.
LUXURY YARD AND POST SIGN
Northeastern Oklahoma’s leading newspaper source for Real Estate. Your property can be promoted in this beautiful fullcolor tabloid available in Saturday’s edition of Tulsa World. Ads and Open House listings are created by our in-house marketing team.
Elite Magazine is produced by Chinowth & Cohen’s marketing team and features every active listing offered to the public. This FREE publication is available at our offices and area QuikTrip, CVS and Reasor’s locations.
Real estate postcards are one of the most effective ways to keep the public and potential buyers up to date on your property! Postcards are a great way to showcase your home to neighbors.
95% of home buyers look online for properties during the home buying process. How your home looks online is critical to getting buyers through the door for showings. If the photos online don’t “wow” them, they may never come, which is why Chinowth & Cohen has strict professional guidelines for all listings.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Potential buyers want information at the tip of their fingers. Our Text Code sends them your property details instantly and allows me to follow up on their inquiry afterwards.

ENSURE SUCCESS
When it comes time to show your property, here are some suggestions that will create a smooth and successful process!
» During the listing period, showcase your home as if you are receiving guests. Turn on lights or open drapes, place flowers in vases, hang your best towels, light a fire in the fireplace if it’s cold outside, and play soft background music.
» For safety purposes, you should also put away your valuable items, such as jewelry, collectibles and firearms.
