Jamie Bertram
Broker/Owner
Hi there! Since 2011, I’ve been helping clients buy and sell homes throughout central Ohio as a trusted Realtor. With a commitment to expert guidance and personalized service, I earned my Broker’s license in 2021 and took the next step in my career by starting J. Bertram Real Estate in early 2025. It’s my great honor to help those undertaking a move, as I know that it can be a stressful endeavor. I’m here to educate you on the local market and prepare you for your home buying or selling process every step of the way.
I also fancy myself a bit of a tour guide. I know the Columbus area well and enjoy sharing my knowledge about local neighborhoods, restaurants, parks, attractions and community events. I’m a military brat who moved around a lot as a kid, so I understand the importance of feeling connected to your community and home.
Some additional fun facts about me: I have a Master’s degree in Architectural History and love coming across unique and historic properties around town. In my free time, I enjoy cooking with my husband, walking my three crazy rescue pups, hiking and kayaking. Well, enough about me. Now it’s your turn. I would love an opportunity to get to know you as you embark upon your next adventure!
Carissa Bendure
Realtor
Hi, my name is Carissa and I’m so excited to join J. Bertram Real Estate! Buying a home is one of the most important decisions you can make, and I’m here to help.
Before stepping into real estate, I spent 11 years as a massage therapist. In that decade of practice, I devoted my skills to listening, advocacy, and creating a sense of safety for my clients. I bring that same energy to real estate. I truly believe that what is meant for you will not pass you by, and I want to work together until we find it.
I have lived in Columbus for over 20 years. Columbus has a vibrant and thriving spirit that will always feel like home to me. I love the diversity, art and humanity of our city. When I’m not scouting homes, you’ll find me outside in the fresh air, rock hunting, hanging out with my cats or enjoying our amazing local coffee shops.Â
Home buying shouldn’t be scary. Let’s find your perfect nest together!
Why We Love Helping Homeowners in Columbus
Although it can be exciting, buying and selling are complex, stressful processes. This is further compounded by Columbus being a hot market with a low housing inventory. As Realtors, it’s our goal to help guide clients through the process so that they’re well informed and prepared. This could be strategizing ways to make your offer as attractive as possible, negotiating terms for a property that’s been sitting on the market, or positioning your home sale to capitalize on current buyer demand. We’re here to share our experience and help minimize your stress!
Our Story: A Humble Beginning
Around that same time, she had already obtained her real estate license and discovered how rewarding it was to guide clients through one of life’s most meaningful transitions – buying or selling a home. That Realtor experience sparked a new sense of purpose for her, and the rest, as they say, is history.
