Promoting the lifestyle By Jim Cornelius editor in chief
Jodi Satko is able to help her clients enjoy the Central Oregon lifestyle — because she lives it. A seasoned veteran in real estate, Satko knows how to ask the right, detailed questions to make sure that her clients’ lifestyle and the properties they seek are a great fit. That allows her to streamline what can be a complicated process, strategically seeking out homes that truly match a client’s wants and needs. Her experience, passion and attention to detail make for winwin transactions on everything from single-family homes to ranches and prestigious luxury properties, here in Sisters Country and all across the state. She is accredited in Keller Williams International Luxury Division, making her a resident expert in luxury properties. She’ll soon offer a $3 million listing of one of Sisters Country’s most prestigious properties. For Satko, through Keller Williams Oregon Lifestyle Property Group, the key element of a successful real estate transaction is getting to know clients personally and taking their needs
and desires to heart. “This is a very emotional and personal decision,” she notes. “It’s one of the most important decisions people make in their lives.” There is nothing more satisfying to Jodi Satko than to have a client trust her to find exactly the right property and for them to believe in her when she says, “this is the one for you.” “That’s what keeps my passion going,” she says. That passion has driven her over a 30-year career — a career that has also built on a foundation of training and education for others. “I realized really, really early on that people don’t really understand the process,” she recalled. She started educating and training both real estate professionals and clients and worked as a national corporate trainer for many years. ”That kind of set me apart years and years ago,” she said. As a veteran real estate broker, she takes great satisfaction in seeing her 27-year-old daughter, Courteney Satko, following in her footsteps. “What bigger blessing could you have?” she says.

three years, Courteney is especially well-positioned to help young families just starting down the path toward homeownership. “She’s really engaged with the first-time homebuyers,” Jodi says. Courteney helps those firsttimers negotiate unfamiliar terrain when it comes to credit, loans, and the potentially intimidating process of purchasing a home. Together, Jodi and Courteney also help Keller Williams engage with the Central Oregon veterans community, and they support Family Access Network in aiding local families in need. Both are deeply immersed in the equestrian life in Sisters, which gives them a deep understanding
of the unique demands of rural real estate transactions. The mother-daughter duo are in the process of creating the Trilogy Scholarship in Courteney’s name through Sisters Graduate Resource Organization, which will be awarded to students of diverse interests and involvement in sports, music, and the arts at Sisters High School. For the Satkos it’s all about building relationships — a hallmark of Jodi’s career since the very beginning. “I have families that I literally started with in the Midwest… I still get Christmas cards from them. I get referrals from them,” she said. “I’m very proud of that.”
OUR CLIENTS “LOVE” OUR “LOCAL” REAL ESTATE VIEWPOINT
A home is not a home because of its room dimensions or the color of the walls.
