About Us
Get to Know Mike & Jamie of The Jensen Team at Lepic-Kroeger, REALTORS®
Mike Jensen is a licensed REALTOR, licensed to sell real estate in the State of Iowa. A life-long resident of Iowa City, Mike is well-informed of the Johnson County area local real estate market. Mike grew up learning the construction of homes from his grandfather and father, local contractors. A graduate of St. Ambrose University, Mike’s knowledge and vast network of connections in the community provide a great benefit to his clients as they experience the process of buying and/or selling their home.
Mike’s hard work and dedication to his clients throughout his career has garnered the attention of his community and the Iowa City Area Association of REALTORS®. In 2004, he was awarded Professional Newcomer over the Year for exhibiting Outstanding Professionalism in Real Estate by the Iowa City Area Association of REALTORS®. He received Gold Star Awards in 2007, 2010, 2013, & 2016 for Outstanding Professionalism & Cooperation, and in both 2011 & 2017 he was awarded Realtor of the Year by the Iowa City Area Association of REALTORS®. Mike was also voted Best of the Area, Realtor by the Iowa City Press Citizen readers in 2015 and “One of the Best” in the area in 2016. Most recently, he received the Locals Love Us Award for Real Estate Agent, making this the 5th year in a row that he’s won this award.
2017 – Jamie Joins the Team
In 2017, Jamie joined Mike’s established real estate business to take on the Communication and Marketing efforts for the business, allowing Mike to focus more of his time and energy on his clients. In 2018, Jamie obtained her Real Estate License, and her and Mike take a team approach to working with their clients as they work to buy and/or sell their home. Having two sets of eyes on the home, two people working on Comparable Market Analyses, and two perspectives when working through negotiations proves to be beneficial for their clients.
Jamie lives on the east side of Iowa City with her husband, Mike, and three children, Brady, Mack, & Maeve. She enjoys giving back to the community she loves through volunteerism. She currently serves as a Director on the Board for the Iowa City Area Assocation of REALTORS (ICAAR), committee member on the Young Professionals Network committee at ICAAR, and Board Liasion for the Education Committee at ICAAR. She also serves as Co-Chair for the Regina Catholic Education Center Gala and is on the Development Committee for Regina also. Jamie feels incredibly lucky to work and live in this vibrant community.
Fran Jensen
In 2012, Mike’s wife, Fran, joined him in his real estate business in order to provide his clients with enhanced services. She obtained her real estate license in 2012 after working for ten years in Marketing and Development at the Iowa Children’s Museum. While Fran is no longer a licensed Real Estate Agent, she is still very much a part of The Jensen Team behind the scenes, using her expertise in sales, marketing, and customer service to ensure Mike & Jamie’s clients real estate needs and not only met, but exceeded.
Fran is a strong believer is giving back to the community which has given so much to her. She received the Governor’s Award for Volunteerism in 2011. She has served on the boards and as President of the Iowa City/Coralville Convention and Visitors Bureau and Eastern Iowa Tourism Association. She has volunteered with many local organizations, including Regina Education Center, The Iowa Children’s Museum, and Summer of the Arts. She currently is very involved with 5224Good, a learning and giving circle dedicated to educating our members about philanthropy and community needs in Johnson County through social and networking opportunities. She also keeps busy in her role as “Grammy”, helping out whenever needed with her six grandchildren!
Lifelong Iowa City Residents
As lifelong residents of Iowa City, Mike, Fran, & Jamie are delighted to be working with clients as they buy or sell their homes in a community they feel very passionate about. The Iowa City area is home to them and their families. They feel fortunate to live, work, and give back to a community that has given so much to their family.
Opening Doors for You and Your Family
“Opening Doors for You and Your Family” fits the Jensen Team’s personalities well. Their hospitable, caring, can-do attitudes will put you at ease the minute you meet them. Mike, Fran, & Jamie enjoy working with first time homebuyers as well as seasoned buyers and sellers, and would value the opportunity to help you with your buyer or selling needs.
When the Jensen Team isn’t out working with their clients, they enjoy spending their time with family and friends, attending Hawkeye sporting events, cheering on the Cubs, and attending local festivals and events.
Mike & Fran have three children; Bobbie, Jamie, & Paul. Bobbie is a second grade teacher in the Iowa City Community School District, and Paul recently moved back to Iowa City and is working for Unchained Capital. He also recently became a homeowner with his wife, Megan, whom we all adore. Mike and Fran’s grandchildren, Brady, Annie, Mollie, Mack, Joey, & Maeve keep them busy! There’s nothing they love more than showering those sweet kiddos with love!
Giving Back
Family and Community are two of the most important things to Mike & Fran, so it’s important to them to find ways to give back to the community that has given them so much. They are proud to support many local nonprofit organizations, and feel fortunate to live in a community where so many amazing people are working to make a difference for worthy causes. In 2011, Fran received the Governor’s Award for Volunteerism, and has served as President on the boards of the Iowa City/Coralville Convention and Visitors Bureau and Eastern Iowa Tourism Association. She has volunteered with many local organizations including Regina Education Center and the Iowa Children’s Museum.
