Story by Liesel Schmidt | Portrait by Jonathan Thorpe
The concept of home is very important to Jordan Beck. As a Realtor at Compass, she is tasked daily with finding homes for her clients; and as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) in DC, she takes on the burden of helping abused and neglected children find permanence in the environments that give them a chance to thrive.
"Heart health has always been of the utmost importance in my family because my grandfather died of complications during heart surgery. It’s important to me to promote awareness of women's health."
- Jordan
As busy and taxing as both roles can be, Beck holds a passion for each that comes from the impact she knows she’s making in the lives she touches, from the clients who entrust her with their needs, to the children she works with. “In my work as a Realtor, I get to assist people as [they] navigate one of the biggest purchases or sales in their [lives],” says Beck, who has been recognized as one of the Washingtonian’s Top Agents, along with being a top agent at Compass. “As a CASA, I am able to support youth in the community and advocate for their needs. In both roles, I am advocating for the best interests of others and providing people homes. Real estate and the idea of 'home' plays a crucial role in shaping communities, and I am grateful to be a part of it.”
