Board of Directors Spotlight

Meet your President-Elect Jasmine Sheffield

A letter from Jasmine

"Being engaged in multiple organizations has allowed me to bring valuable insight and experience to DABOR, my local market, and the broader community. Whether through leadership, mentorship, or volunteerism, I strive to share knowledge, offer guidance, and create meaningful connections that help others grow."

Jasmine's journey into Real Estate

"From the classroom to the closing table, my career has taken me on an unexpected yet fulfilling journey. With a Master’s Degree in Education, I began my professional life as an elementary school teacher, a role that allowed me to make a meaningful impact on young minds. However, after the school I worked for as a second grade teacher closed, I transitioned into the financial services industry, where I spent seven years as a Marketing Director.

It wasn’t until I purchased my first home in 2016 that I became captivated by the real estate industry. That experience sparked a passion, and before long, I found myself diving headfirst into real estate. After gaining traction and proving to myself that I could thrive, I took the leap to become a full-time Realtor—and here we are nearly 9 years later, a decision that has led to a deeply rewarding career.

Beyond real estate, I have a strong commitment to leadership and community service. I currently serve as a Commissioner on the Planning Commission in Allen Park, where I contribute to the city’s growth and development. My passion for animal welfare has led me to an active role on the Events Committee for Detroit Animal Care and Control, where I volunteer regularly physically in the shelter walking dogs as well as coordinating and hosting off site adoption events. Additionally, I serve on the Education Committee for the board and I am part of the Century 21 Curran & Oberski New Agent Academy, where I teach incoming agents how to effectively work their databases, helping set them up for success in the industry.

Throughout my career, I have been honored with several recognitions, including being named Realtor of the Year for DABOR in 2024, receiving the MVP Award from Century 21 Curran & Oberski in 2021, and achieving Master's Level Production with Century 21 from 2021 to the present. These accolades serve as milestones in my journey, reminding me of the dedication and passion that fuel my work every day.

This is your chance to meet your DABOR President Sam Sakka, President-Elect Jasmine Sheffield, and industry professionals for a casual meet and greet in a collaborative environment. By participating in the Listening Tour, you are taking an active role in shaping the future of our community.
