Jones Real Estate has always been a family owned business catering to the real estate needs of Hancock County. Daughter, Jennifer Jones joined the business in 1978, starting as a secretary and later becoming a real estate broker and adding real estate appraising to the services offered. She is now semi-retired but is always around to lend a hand to the business when we need her. Daughter Emilie joined the business in 1984 and specializes in real estate sales and rentals throughout Hancock County. Chris Jones joined the business in 2016. Since Harry’s passing in 2021, he now sits at his Dad’s desk and keeps himself busy, having a hand in a little bit of everything going on here, both Real Estate and the rentals.
