Jackson Real Estate was founded by Evelyn M. Jackson in 1964. Melanie Jackson McLane remembers, as a child, helping her mom take pictures, put up signs, and as she got old enough, answer the phone and type appraisals for her Mom. Originally located in the family home, first at 348 Washington Ave., and later at 350 Washington Ave., the office was moved to downtown Jersey Shore in the late 1960’s. The original building where our office was located, on South Main St., burned in 1971, so we moved around the corner to Allegheny St. After the 1972 flood, redevelopment took the building where the office was (Santino’s Restaurant is on that site today). In 1975, 225 N. Main St., near the Moose Club was purchased, and the office was there for about 10 years. In 1984, the building at 226-232 Allegheny St., between Santander Bank and the Jersey Shore Post Office was purchased, and the office has been there ever since. Our founder died in 2001, but the business has continued under the ownership of Melanie Jackson McLane and the late Jim McLane. When Josie Mason McLane joined the company three years ago, it was the third generation of our family in the business. Jackson Real Estate is the oldest real estate company in Jersey Shore, and we feel we owe our success to our ethical standards and high level of service we offer to our customers and clients.
