Jessica Carcoana has spent over two decades immersed in the world of high-end resort real estate, selling multimillion-dollar properties in some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. From Costa Rica to Mexico, St. Lucia to the Bahamas, and throughout the U.S., she has led sales teams and orchestrated massive luxury real estate launch events.
One of her biggest career highlights was in 2007 when, as sales manager for Westgate Park City in Utah, she led a team that sold $100 million worth of real estate in a single day, marking the largest one-day sales event in Utah’s history at the time. This achievement earned her the National Association of Homebuilders Silver Award for Sales Manager of the Year.
After the 2008 financial crisis upended the luxury resort market, Jessica pivoted to residential real estate, eventually settling in Denver, where she built a successful business specializing in luxury and family homes. Now, she is taking her career to the next level by joining eXp Realty’s Luxury division.
Why Jessica Made the Move to eXp Realty
Jessica officially joined eXp Realty in February 2025, after spending nearly a decade with Your Castle Real Estate, Colorado’s largest independent brokerage. Introduced to eXp by Matt Ruotolo, whom she met by chance at a coffee shop, Jessica was drawn in by eXp’s unparalleled luxury platform and worldwide marketing reach.
“I wanted to be part of a company that could offer my clients more,” Jessica says. “Now, I can put their properties in The Wall Street Journal, which was never an option before. The tools and global exposure eXp provides are a game-changer.”
Jessica had been considering the move for about a year, inspired by eXp’s focus on innovation, collaboration, and the ability to scale her business while also maintaining balance in her personal life.
Balancing Luxury Real Estate and Family Life
While Jessica’s background is in high-end resort properties – having sold second, third, and fourth multimillion-dollar estates to executives like the former CFO of Boeing – her life has evolved. Now a mother of two daughters, she balances her expertise in luxury real estate with helping families find their dream homes in Denver’s competitive market.

Her decision to join eXp Realty also aligns with her long-term vision. “I realized I was a big fish in a small pond,” she says. “I wanted to be in an environment where I could keep growing and learning from top-producing agents. And then I decided, I want to be a small fish in a big pond because that’s the only way I can learn and grow from here. And there are some huge heavy hitters and amazing people at eXp and amazing leadership. And I knew that that was my next way to grow and take my career to the next level.”
Jessica’s Unique Advantage: Licensed in Lending and Real Estate
Jessica is also a licensed mortgage lender, giving her a unique edge in the industry.
“Every agent has horror stories of lenders messing things up at the 11th hour,” she explains. “I became a lender so I could personally ensure a seamless process for my buyers. It allows me to control the transaction from start to finish, reducing surprises and increasing efficiency.”
Looking Ahead: eXp Luxury and Building a Legacy
Now fully immersed in eXp Luxury, Jessica is eager to leverage the company’s global marketing tools to better serve her high-net-worth clients. She’s also intrigued by eXp’s revenue share model and stock ownership, something she hadn’t considered before but now sees as a powerful way to build long-term wealth.
Her journey with eXp is just beginning, but one thing is clear – she’s all in.
“My husband and I even bought eXp stock for our kids’ investment portfolios,” she says. “We believe in this company and what it stands for.”
Jessica’s career has taken her around the world, selling some of the most exclusive properties imaginable. Now, she’s focused on growing her luxury business in Denver with the backing of eXp’s powerful platform. And while she may wish she had joined eXp earlier, she sums it up perfectly:
“The best time to join eXp was yesterday. The second-best time is now.”
