Our team knows Lehigh Valley real estate.
Meet Jennifer de Jesus and the De Jesus Real Estate Team—your turnkey partner for property solutions
Jennifer de Jesus
A team dedicated to serving Lehigh Valley real estate owners
When it comes to real estate investing, management, and improving residential properties, I learned from scratch what works. My team and I currently manage about 1,500 units, employ 65 people, maintain less than a 2% vacancy rate, and successfully manage a portfolio of properties returning more than a 20% net cap rate and have reached returns as high as 60% cash on cash over a 5-year period.
By being involved in every aspect of owning property—from finding and financing to remodeling to lease administration—my team and I have carved out a sweet spot that attracts investors from all corners of the globe.
The most important aspect about our business is that we make it easy for our clients to find the financial income they want through real estate AND manage it so they don’t have to worry about their properties, tenants or other risks that take them away from enjoying life.
Turnkey real estate services
To make all of this work seamlessly for our clients, we created turnkey businesses that provide services touching the full spectrum of care for client properties, including:
Real estate brokerage to find properties
Title search and legal compliance
Construction for remodeling and rehab
Passive income through our Empire Capital Fund
In 2018 we closed over $30 million in sales and received numerous accolades such as the cover of Top Agent magazine and an article in the Lehigh Valley Business Journal. We were named Best of Zillow and maintain a 5-star rating. For the year 2021, we closed over $60 million. We also worked on the Easton Yards project, leasing all 59 units in record time after completely renovating the warehouse property for a more modern use.
I’m very proud of the team we’ve built and how we provide our clients ongoing support, guidance and help growing their real estate investment portfolios.

Licensed, insured and experienced contractors
The Empire Property Construction team as well as our partner subcontractors are required to be licensed, insured and properly vetted before they work on any of our client’s properties. We stand by our team’s work and have strict safety protocols for working any job site, regardless of the size of the project, from a residential roofing project to a commercial warehouse renovation.
Our general contractors and project managers are experienced in renovating properties of all types and sizes. We are also well-versed in the construction methods used over the last hundred years that were popular throughout the Lehigh Valley region and understand the unique needs of older properties.
So whether you just want a facelift to a newly purchased duplex or you have a retail center you want to completely renovate, we have the expertise to make your property tenant-ready.
Home improvement, renovation, remodel, tenant turnover or property maintenance, we’ve got you covered.
We approach construction projects differently
The approach you take to improve a property for high-quality tenancy is very different than the approach you would take to a primary residence improvement or commercial space renovation.
Our versatility and years of experience allow us to leverage what we have learned from rehabbing investment properties and apply that experience to commercial real estate or single-family residences.
It isn’t just about the property improvement—it’s about what the improvement will do for the property owner.
