Jelena Roberts of Coldwell Banker

Originally from Latvia, Jelena Roberts worked as a real estate agent in Georgia before moving to the Lowcountry in 2010. Today she is a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Mount Pleasant, a job where she enjoys meeting new people and helping them build their dreams.

“It’s an amazing feeling to see a client smile and be happy with their real estate transaction,” she said.

The bilingual mother of three works together with her husband, Realtor Jim Roberts, on all their listings.

“Honesty is important to us, and we strive to provide excellent service to all our clients,” she said.

She also owns her own interior design business, which allows her to provide complimentary staging services and advise clients on remodeling.

Roberts said, “The best advice I have for other women in business is to set goals, work hard for those goals and never give up. I came from another country without the opportunities available here in the United States and understand that hard work truly pays off.”
