From J.P. Morgan to JDA

VIENNA, VIRGINIA– Meet Jordan Rice, Vice president of JDA Custom Homes and

how she made the transition from Wall Street of wealth management to designing and building

custom homes with her father, Dennis Rice, in their family business.

Rice resides in Northern Virginia with her rescue dog “Leon” and has enjoyed living in a

small town as opposed to the hustling, bustling culture of New York City. Rice said, “I made the

move from NYC to Virginia to transition from a career on Wall Street doing Wealth

Management for high-net-worth individuals to designing and building custom homes with my

dad in our family business.” Rice and her father Dennis Rice have proved a powerful duo ever

since Rice made the move to the family business back in 2012. It has now been 10+ years since

Rice moved from New York City to Virginia and JDA has been a top custom homes company in

the Greater Northern Virginia area as the Vice president and her father, Dennis Rice, as the

founder and president.

As Vice President of JDA, Rice is responsible for management operations and works

directly with clients in the home design and selection process. More specifically, Rice is

responsible for day-to-day financial management of company assets. Rice partners with business

principles on business development for residential and commercial property acquisitions. Rice

works closely with clients as they build their custom home and oversees property management

for three commercial office buildings in Northern Virginia and Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Additionally, Rice’s duties and responsibilities and her extensive skill sets is primarily due to her

time at J.P. Morgan where she learned the ins and outs of relationship clientele management.

Rice states, “The start to my career at J.P. Morgan laid the foundation for many skills I would

ultimately hone not only in the banking world but ultimately in the real estate world.” While at

J.P. Morgan, Rice was an Investment and Banking analyst where she was responsible for

providing local business management oversight for markets generating over $125MM in

revenue. Rice has worked with client relationships in both of her careers. Client relationship and

management is integral to banking and real estate as both industries focus on the satisfaction of

the client. While it was not an easy transition from Wall Street to real-estate in Northern Virginia

the skills Rice learned in her five years at J.P. Morgan proved critical to her career. Rice goes on

to say, “While I had to learn the ins and outs of the construction and real estate industry when I

changed career paths, my start in the banking world had helped me develop many important

skills to use in the next phase of my career.” Rice’s opportunity to build up her skillset and

repertoire in one of the most demanding and cutthroat cities in the United States made her more

than prepared to take on the challenge and industry of real estate in Northern Virginia. Those

who know Rice, say that she is persevering, ambitious, and brings excellence to the table.

As stated previously, Rice brings a high caliber of skills and prowess to her career at

JDA. Her clients compliment Rice and are blown away by her talents and work ethic. Brian and

Kristen, former clients of Rice had this to say about her: “We had weekly (or more) check in

meetings during which Rice addressed all of our questions and considerations and ensured we

were on time and within budget. While it was important for us to take the lead in providing

design ideas, we needed Jordan's impeccable design eye in many of the decisions. Jordan

allowed us to take as much or as little role as we wanted with each decision. We have never met

anyone as well suited to coordinate a home design as Jordan Rice!”

Clearly, Rice is a well-respected individual in both her profession and community. Rice

strives for perfection and client satisfaction and has proven to be a successful custom home

design builder. Rice built her foundation of skills dealing with strategic development and

oversight at J.P. Morgan and further honed her skills in relationship management to transfer into

the competitive real estate world of Northern Virginia. Home design is a challenging process as

customer satisfaction is a primary goal not to mention the competitive custom home contractors

that dominate the Greater Northern Virginia area. With Rice’s rich history of relationship

management and vast array of home design intelligence in combination with the leadership of

her father, Dennis Rice, they form a compelling and dynamic father and daughter duo cementing

JDA Custom Homes as a prime favorite of Northern Virginia residents. In fact, she is Dennis’

eldest daughter and is the “J” in JDA.

In addition to her career, Rice is dedicated to giving back to the community and is part of

a number of philanthropic efforts such as BRAWS (Bringing Resources to Aid Women’s

Shelters) and is chair of the council. Rice is also a serious sports fan, avid cook and loves to

travel the world enjoying food and culture of several countries. She is also a dog lover and

adopted her rescue dog Leon who keeps watch on guard duty at the JDA office.
