Jennifer Poulson, leader of The Poulson Group at KW Ascend, Keller Williams Realty, has been named a 2026 Recognized Agent by the Lighthouse Marketing Institute. The recognition underscores her commitment to clients, community, and a higher standard of real estate professionalism. The Institute evaluates agents across four standards: Community Focus, Exceptional Client Care, Creative Marketing, and High Performance. Applications are evaluated annually, and recognition cannot be purchased through paid placement, making the honor a true reflection of merit.
Since 2019, Poulson has closed more than 120 transactions representing over $75 million in home sales. Her real estate videos average approximately 97,000 views, with her marketing generating more than 2.1 million impressions annually. Her Lighthouse Marketing Institute profile places her among the top 3% of independently producing agents in the Washington County MLS. These metrics demonstrate not only high performance but also the effectiveness of her creative marketing strategies.
Poulson's approach to real estate emphasizes both the client experience and how each home is presented to the marketplace. Professional photography, video, and thoughtful distribution help her clients' properties reach audiences well beyond traditional listing platforms. This creative focus extends into her broader connection with Southern Utah. Poulson co-created Zion Life Is an Adventure, a photography book celebrating Zion National Park, with proceeds supporting park conservation. She has also supported local first responders and other community organizations throughout the St. George area.
The implications of this recognition are significant for the real estate industry. It signals that success is not solely measured by transaction volume but by a holistic commitment to clients, community, and innovative marketing. The Lighthouse Marketing Institute's rigorous standards and refusal to accept paid placements reinforce the value of genuine merit in an era where consumers seek trustworthy professionals. For Poulson, the award affirms her longstanding dedication to Southern Utah and sets a benchmark for peers.
Her combination of client care, strong production, creative storytelling, and investment in Southern Utah reflects the four qualities at the heart of the Institute's recognition. The 2026 Lighthouse Marketing Institute Recognition honors real estate professionals who demonstrate that success in the industry encompasses more than transactions. Honorees are distinguished by the way they care for their clients, contribute to their communities, creatively market the properties entrusted to them, and perform within their profession.
