Mary Jochem

Slesnick and Jochem

I was born and raised in Coral Gables/South Miami and graduated from the University of Florida. After college, I joined Jordan Marsh Department Stores, in Miami, and over a ten-year period I became a Buyer and Divisional Merchandise Manager in charge of six Buyers who bought moderate and budget women's sportswear. With that experience I then left the department store and went into wholesale sales representing many sportswear lines. I traveled Florida and the Southeast part of the US and eventually focused on the catalog business as it was first emerging. I was the top salesperson in every company I joined and loved every minute in the sales part of the industry. I eventually left the clothing business in the early part of 2000 and decided to get my real estate license. I joined EWM, which was a leader in the industry and shortly met Jeannett Slesnick and became Partners. Jeannett was the top producer for Coral Gables in EWM and within two years we got our Brokers' licenses and started our own Company, which has been among the top five Coral Gables producers for the number of homes sold since we began in 2003.
