Jessica has been part of the full-time team since September of 2018. She first started as a copier and filing expert & back when Rushing RE had more of a focus on brokerage (with many agents), Jessica became the brokers’ go-to for updating flyers, copying and filing all before her teens. Jessica worked as an Administrative Assistant during her senior year in High School in 2009 before moving to Los Angeles to attend Santa Monica College and then UCLA. Her excellent comprehension of day-to-day operations and her business degree have given her the ability to leverage her experience to uphold excellence in all aspects of the business. There is no doubt that she will continue to contribute to the company’s success for years to come. Her favorite part of being a part of our team is constantly learning and evolving. Also, she loves the people she gets to work with daily.

In her personal life, Jessica enjoys taking her dogs on adventures, camping, & traveling to California and Mexico. She and her husband have been together for 5 years. They were married in 2022 & for their Honeymoon, they traveled by car all around the US and it was an amazing experience. Jessica loves to be silly and make people laugh. She is always up for spontaneous adventures & enjoys spending time with her friends, her stepdaughter Carmen, and their dogs Annabelle & Mabel.

Melanie has been with Rushing Group since November of 2021. Originally starting out as the Administrative Assistant, Melanie quickly grew her knowledge in Landlord Tenant Law and filled in as a Leasing Agent for May’s Landing part-time. With her many years in Customer Service, Melanie eagerly stepped into the Residential Asset Manager role and hit the ground running, wanting to make May’s Landing everyone’s favorite place to call home. The thing she enjoys the most about her day-to-day efforts is interacting with tenants and leasing apartments to first time renters. You can find Melanie walking the grounds daily and interacting with tenants (both human and pet), guests and vendors.

Outside of work, Melanie enjoys spending time with her 3 sons, husband and dog. She enjoys the beach (rain or shine) and playing Disc Golf. Melanie enjoys happy hour with her girlfriends and finds herself being the “yes man” in every social setting. Meaning, don’t ask Melanie, because she will always say yes.

Jay has been with the Rushing Group since 2018. With his skill levels and positive personality, he has moved quickly from an entry level maintenance position to an essential part of the overall maintenance and upkeep of our properties. He oversees all property maintenance and helps manage some of Bo’s business ventures outside of the Rushing Group. The thing he enjoys the most about his day-to-day efforts is the hands-on aspects of the job. He is partial to “getting his hands dirty” and being able to get to know each property individually and being constantly out in the field.

Jay has been blessed with his wonderful wife Jessica and his amazing daughter Carmen. He has grown up and resided in Salem his entire life. In his free time, he thoroughly enjoys camping and the outdoors that their home state has to offer.

Anthony Christopher Neuschwander is the future CEO of Rushing Real Estate.
