Owner | Broker · Real Broker LLC · 15 years

I’m Jess Powers. For 15 years I’ve helped people buy and sell homes across Rhode Island, and even into Southern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut.

Most people only buy or sell a handful of times in their life, so I never assume you know how it works. Before each step, I’ll tell you what’s coming, what it costs and what your choices are. That’s also why I built the tools on this site, like the town quiz, the Home Buyer BootCamp, neighborhood guides and a complete Home Seller series. You can start learning before we ever talk.

Buying your first home in Rhode Island

Buying your first home here is a lot. The bidding wars in Providence, the down-payment math, the inspections, the negotiation. My Home Buyer BootCamp walks you through every step, so you know exactly what you’re signing up for before you make an offer.

For home buyers
Relocating

Moving to Rhode Island

Rhode Island is the smallest state, with 39 towns and roughly 400 villages. Each one has its own feel, price range, and commute. I help relocating buyers from Boston, NYC, Hartford, and beyond figure out which neighborhood actually fits how they live, not just what looks good on Zillow.

Pricing right in this market matters more than ever. I know what’s selling in Providence, Cranston, Warwick, Barrington, Newport, and across the East Bay, and what isn’t. Start with a free home valuation and a straight answer about your timing.

Ask Jess
01Which areas do you cover?

All of Rhode Island, with most of my work in Providence, Cranston, Warwick, East Greenwich, Barrington, Newport, Narragansett, Middletown, Cumberland and Lincoln. I am also licensed in Massachusetts and Connecticut, so I can help if you are buying or selling just over the line.

02I’m moving to Rhode Island and don’t know the towns. Where do I start?

Take the Rhode Island Town Quiz. It asks how you live (commute, schools, budget, beach or city) and gives you a shortlist. Then we talk it through and I tell you what each town is really like.

03How do I find out what my home is worth?

Request a free home valuation. I look at real recent sales on your street and in your micro-market, show you the comps, and explain my number. No online estimate, and no inflated number just to win your listing.

04Do you charge buyers to work with you?

Let’s talk about it in our first call. How buyer agents get paid changed in 2024, and I walk every buyer through it in plain words before they sign anything.
