"Most agents know real estate. I know contracts, engineering, law, and business — and I bring all of it to the table for every single client."
— Jessica Kumiega, MRP · Signature Realty

Built differently
from day one.

Before Jessica ever listed a home, she spent over 16 years mastering two of the most detail-oriented professions in existence — law and engineering. As a Senior Paralegal at an insurance defense firm in Hartford, she learned how to read contracts the way most people read headlines: quickly, precisely, and with an eye for what matters.

Her role as Senior Contract Specialist at Tighe & Bond — one of the region's most respected environmental engineering and consulting firms — deepened that skill set considerably. Land acquisition, permitting, environmental compliance, multi-stakeholder negotiations: Jessica has been in those rooms, at those tables, and she knows how deals actually get done.

She holds an MBA, carries an MRP certification, and operates as an on-call partner for the Alliance Realty Network across Western Massachusetts and Hartford County. When you work with Jessica, you're not just getting a licensed agent. You're getting someone who has negotiated contracts worth millions, navigated complex regulatory environments, and never once confused activity with results.

Ongoing

Owner — Riverside Strength

Gym & Fitness Community

Jessica owns and operates Riverside Strength — a gym built on the same principles she brings to real estate: discipline, accountability, and showing up for your community. It's a testament to her belief that strong people build strong places.

A builder in
every sense.

Jessica doesn't define herself by a single role — she never has. She's a professional, a business owner, a mentor, and a community builder who happens to sell real estate with the same intensity she brings to everything else.

Her passion for mentorship runs deep. She actively encourages and supports women — particularly those transitioning from professional careers — who are interested in entering real estate. If that's you, she wants to talk.

She's also quietly building something bigger: an out-of-state referral network connecting agents across the country with a trusted partner in Western MA and Hartford CT. If you're an agent outside the area with clients headed this way, Jessica is who you call.

And when she's not negotiating contracts or touring homes? She's at Riverside Strength, building the kind of community she believes every town deserves.
