Meet Jo Wester

About Me

After 36 years in Los Angeles working in Michelin-starred restaurants, film/move/tv/commercial industry, and as a Grammy Award-winning designer, I found my heart in Ocala, Florida. My background includes everything from my paintings appearing in about 1,000 entertainment industry productions to performing as an endorsed drummer. I’ve always thrived in service-focused roles, so real estate was a natural fit. Since relocating to Ocala, I quickly got my Realtor’s license and now help others find the same peace and opportunity I found here.

Skills & Strengths

I bring a unique mix of high-level customer service, creative marketing, design, photography, and video production skills — all essential for today’s real estate market. With deep local knowledge of Ocala and surrounding Marion County, I guide clients with heart, data, and a strategic eye for detail.

Why Hire Me

With a proven track record of over 64 homes sold in just two years in a gated community as a Community Manager / Sales Agent for a new home builder alone, I offer the kind of results that speak for themselves. Whether you’re buying or selling, I bring experience, heart, and hustle to every transaction. I specialize in helping buyers envision their future and sellers showcase their home’s full potential — making the process not just successful, but enjoyable.
