Jessica Connelly - Since launching her real estate career in 2021, Jessica has been the behind-the-scenes powerhouse of more than 40 successful transactions. Whether she’s closing deals herself, guiding new agents, or troubleshooting tricky situations, she’s the one you want in your corner when buying or selling a home.
What makes Jessica different? She doesn’t just help clients move houses—she helps them move forward. While others chase sales goals, Jessica chases your goals. Her approach is all about empowering clients with the knowledge they need to make confident, pressure-free decisions. Because in her eyes, real estate isn’t about hitting quotas—it’s about supporting life’s biggest transitions on your terms.
Jessica found her home at Modern & Main Real Estate, where client-first values aren’t just a slogan—they’re the heartbeat of the business. It was a match made in real estate heaven.
Before real estate, Jessica’s story was center stage—literally. Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, she later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a performing career, dancing and singing her way across cruise ships and dinner theaters around the world for nearly a decade.
Today, she balances real estate with a part-time role as a Job Coach, helping adults with disabilities gain independence through meaningful employment. In her downtime, you’ll find her teaching ballet or yoga, or unplugging in the great outdoors—camping and hiking with her husband and their adventure-loving pup.
Clients Success Stories
"I have been very impressed with Paris’s professionalism and knowledge. She has always promptly returned my calls or emails. I have worked with part-time “wannabe” agents in the past, so it is refreshing to work with a full time and dedicated real estate professional. Thank you Paris for all your hard work in helping me and my family find our home."
Sam M.
"I have worked with Paris on multiple of my transactions, and I can attest to her devotion of making the best representation of her client. From finding the perfect home, or getting the best deal for a sale, she always goes the extra mile and a half to make the real estate process smooth and as easy as possible. I would highly recommend Paris to any friend, family, or anyone needed a top notch real… tor. She's the best!"
Spencer D.
"If you’re looking for a realtor who is as passionate as you are about finding the perfect home, then Paris is the one for you! She helped us seamlessly sell our home in North Salt Lake and buy our “forever home” on the East benches of Cottonwood Heights. We walked away with $20,000 in pocket, and instant equity in our new home. Paris demonstrated a vast knowledge and understanding of market analys… is, had a great attitude, and always put our (the clients) needs first. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing real estate services."
T.J. & Darby E.
"We love Paris! She gave us great advice and helped us get under contract with our favorite home in less than a week. Our lender also mentioned that he rarely sees realtors go above and beyond the way she has for us. We highly recommend her!"
Porter & Mckenna S.
"Paris has an excellent knowledge of the market and the fair value of homes. She has been extremely responsive throughout our entire selling process thus far. We have no doubt that Paris will do everything necessary to sell our property, and then help us find our next home."
Shonna & Garret
"Jared shined as our agent during our most recent home purchase! In this challenging market, having a responsive agent who will go the extra mile for you will make all the difference. I know it did for us! Jared was on top of it all throughout the process and helped us find and secure our dream home! He worked with the seller, who didn't have representation and was somewhat sluggish at times. He wa… s also all over it with my lender who was in a different time zone, and challenging to work with. Jared was on top of all the details, made great recommendations on vendors and contractors for the various parts of the process, and made sure everything went off without a hitch at closing! We probably won't be buying a house for a long time, but I would HIGHLY recommend Jared to all my friends and family who are looking for homes (as well as anyone in the Salt Lake Valley)!"

"We truly cannot say enough good things about Nathan Starley, and working with him was one of the best choices we ever made. We recently bought our first home, and he supported us throughout the entire process. He has an expert understanding of the Utah real estate market, and with his sound advice we navigated an exceptionally competitive bidding process and had our first offer accepted! Nathan wa… s communicative, and quick to respond to our messages, which was invaluable, given the fast-paced nature of the housing market right now. He answered all of our questions, and taught us so much about the home-buying process. In addition to helping us find our dream home, he was also able to provide us with excellent references for everything from home financing to cleaning. He is a wealth of knowledge with great connections and an eye for detail. Without a doubt, Nathan will be our go-to for any future real estate needs."
Alex Bond
"I can’t stress enough how amazing Jared and his company is. Jared was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond for us. I suggest going with his recommendations for lenders, titles, and everything else. He has the connections and makes sure you will be taken care of and get you into your home. He’s also incredible at negotiations and got us such a good deal on our home. I wouldn’t be surpris… ed if they win an award or some type of recognition for how well they take care of their clients. It’s absolutely incredible. We will definitely be using their company again when we want to buy an investment property. Thank you Jared for everything!"
Travis Graham
"If you are looking to be a first time home owner or are out of state and buying a home without an in-person tour, Nathan Starley is who you are looking for to seamlessly guide you through the process! We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Nathan. His real estate knowledge surpassed our expectations and he went out of his way to teach us the intricacies of the home-buying process. He gave… us honest feedback on the houses we viewed over video chat and made sure to point out any imperfections that couldn’t be seen over video. We felt 100% comfortable putting an offer in on a house we didn’t see in person because we had such great trust in Nathan. He guided us toward getting our first offer accepted in such a competitive market! Nathan responded quickly to our messages and calls—we never felt anxious or worried about the fast pace of the market right now. Nathan also provided us recommendations for a contractor, roofing service and radon service which all have lived up to the standards Nathan has set. I will definitely be referring my friends in family to Nathan and he will be our first pick for future real estate endeavors."

"Jared, was an absolute pleasure to work with! I will definitely be turning to him and his team in the future when we are ready to purchase another home. Jared made the home buying process super easy, was always on top of things, went above and beyond what a normal realtor would do and always made sure we were more than happy! He's professionalism is unmatched and I would highly recommend him to fa… mily and friends. He even has helped with issues we have had with our builder 6 months after closing. He genuinely wants to make sure you are more than happy with your purchase and always goes the extra mile!"
