Jackson Mertes was raised in Ottertail, MN and moved to Minneapolis in October of 2021 to pursue real estate. After taking numerous college courses in subjects such as management, marketing, psychology, and personal finance, he was able to graduate high school with over a year of college credits and a dedication to success. Currently working in apartment leasing, Jackson spends his workdays fine-t
uning his sales and negotiation skills while keeping a close eye on both renter and buyer markets. Outside of work, he enjoys participating in forums, listening to podcasts, attending meetups, and immersing himself into the industry in any way he can. Jackson now lives in Downtown Minneapolis with his girlfriend, their dog, Duke, and their three-legged cat, Duchess. Some of his favorite activities include cooking, reading, and exploring nearby state parks. Along with his negotiation skills, Jackson also enjoys exceeding expectations and working toward his goal of real estate investment and development. He is financially creative, sets an extremely high standard for himself, and works every day not only to help his clients, but educate them as well. On nice days, he can be seen out and about hiking and running the nearby trails, motorcycling through neighborhoods, and is often caught daydreaming about luxury homes.
