About the Author

Jennifer spent years in real estate litigation and market analysis before turning to writing, and that background shapes how she covers landlord-tenant law, property valuation, and construction contracts.

In her downtime, she collects vintage books, a habit that's given her a genuine appreciation for detail and provenance that carries over into property work.
