Jackie guided us thru the process of selling our house of 44 years. She was open, honest in evaluating it, and firm about what we had to do: get rid of everything we would no longer need in our down-sized space, remove the clutter. She helped us find our next home while transitioning out of our old home. She honored all of our questions, gave straight answers and gained our trust. We felt confident that we were in good, experienced hands. Whatever we needed house inspection, lawyer, supplier for window replacement, etc. she had several ready recommendations. We appreciated the care in presenting our house in a most appealing way. Her physical presence at open houses or in individual showings was a testimony to her dedication to the job. We would hire her again without hesitation.
We met Jackie 11 years ago when we were living in NYC and house hunting in Greenwich. We met her at an open house and I knew she was the broker for us! She knows the area inside out both as a professional and as a mother and most recently a grandmother. She is patient and most of all not "pushy". Last year, when we decided to move to a larger house, Jackie was our first call. Buying a home is such a stressful process, but Jackie helped us navigate the waters and provided helpful insights along the way. Jackie is also a shrewd negotiator but she has a calm drama free demeanor, which is refreshing and most welcome during the stressful house hunting/buying process!
Jackie sold our house at a price above our expectations and it was only on the market for a few days. She knows the market extremely well and has great strategic skills in pricing, timing, staging, and negotiation. She helped us price and position our house at the right price to create a sense of urgency in potential buyers and minimize time on the market while getting a better price in the process. Jackie also has a strong work ethic. She is highly responsive to questions and provides follow-up and she seems to be the first to know about comparable properties in the market. Jackie is a pleasure to work with.
Jackie listed our home masterfully and did everything a seller needed to be handled to deliver a very quick, above-listing-price sale. Her contributions included pricing the listing, preparing a beautifully prepared hard copy and online brochure with excellent photography, showing the home, and offering suggestions regarding attorneys to consider engaging when offers were made.
