Client review

We couldnt be happier with our experience working with Jessica Wallace as our buyers agent! From the very beginning, Jessica was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and patient with our process for this huge life moment for our family. Over the several months and many properties we explored, Jessica earned our trust through her thoughtful advice and sound judgment. She took the time to understand what we were looking for, answered all of our questions, guided us through every step, and always had our best interests in mind. Her expertise, attention to detail, and dedication made such a positive difference. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home and would gladly work with her again in the future. Thank you, Jessica, for helping make such an important milestone such a wonderful experience!

Client review

We are grateful to have worked with Jessica as our buyers agent, and would strongly recommend her to friends/family in the area. Jessica honed in on our priorities and preferences quickly, while expanding them enough to guarantee we werent overlooking houses that wed otherwise like. We relied heavily on Jessicas deep familiarity with the Santa Cruz real-estate market and the Westside in particular. For example: she advised us that one house was on a major ambulance route. We were out-of-state and Jessica both helped us normalize what to expect in the Santa Cruz market and gracefully handled our mix of virtual viewing and rushed last-minute in-person visits when we saw houses we loved come on the market. For our offer and eventual purchase, Jessica made the process smooth. We wanted to fit in a lot of inspections in a tight time window: and here Jessicas connections to local contractors and businesses stood out. She helped arrange a packed schedule of visits and inspections, ensuring we were able to make informed choices to finalize our purchase. After purchase, we worked with several contractors Jessica recommended (e.g. flooring repair, painting, plumbing, termite abatement and repair). We had positive experiences in both cost and execution with these contractors. We are a half-year in and very happy in our new home and neighborhood.

Jessica is an excellentA realtor and we would highly recommend her. Her knowledge and experience helped us find a great home. We were first time homeA buyers looking for a place we loved and it took us years because we weren't in a hurry. She was patient with us and let us go at our own pace. She gave her opinion when asked but wasn't pushy, which I really appreciated. She was really knowledgeable answering all of ourA questions. Jessicas skill making connections and gathering information helped us feel confident when making decisions.A We went through some tough negotiations with Jessica and she put us in a great position with her advice and skill. She helped us get through a short contingencyA period on the house we bought to make our offer competitive. We wanted to be thorough but didn't have much time. It was super useful she had so many trusted connections of inspectors and contractors to answer all of our questions on short notice. Her inspector found a leak thatA was previously missed.A We're now in a home we love and appreciate all of Jessicas work getting us there.

Client review

Jessica Wallace is my idea of a perfect real estate agent We just closed on our dream house today, all thanks to Jessica Wallace. She embodies a blend of patience and expertise with thoughtful insights and a sharp eye for detail which proved indispensable during our 6 week long house hunting journey. We are two very disparate strong personalities, neither of which saw eye to eye on any of the dozens of houses she took us to see. We had her traveling up and down the Santa Cruz and Los Gatos mountainsaEUR|on scary roads not fit for goats and through gated multimillion dollar properties. She was eternally game, and was perfectly capable of guiding us through the myriad issues and details involved in sussing out our perfect forever home. Her knowledge was essential in choosing our dream house. She also set us up with a fantastic team of expert consultants to ensure no stone was unturned and that our investment would be a sound one well into the future. Shes the smartest and most ethical realtor I could have ever hoped for. If you need the perfect realtor, youve found her. Thank you, Jessica!

Client review

Jessica is one of the most honest, helpful, and patient people I have ever worked with in real estate. After navigating multiple home sales and purchase, the experience of working with her was seamless. We dealt with a very challenging seller and encountered multiple speed bumps along the way but she was extremely helpful for all 8 weeks (yes 8 weeks!) of negotiations. If you are looking to buy or purchase a home, you absolutely want Jessica on your team. She is singular in every way!

Client review

I can't say enough nice things about Jessica. Her advice was spot on - whether it was the timing of the sale, or the preparations we needed to complete. She was able get us three offers (all above asking price) in less than a week and we were able to complete the sale with just a 21-day escrow! Jessica is the consummate professional. She knows the market; she knows the business. Choose Jessica as your realtor and you will not be disappointed!

Client review

We have used Jessica for 3 real estate transactions in the last few years. When I think of Jessica, the words calm, wise, and knowledgable come to mind. I sold a house during a very stressful time in my life, and Jessica took care of all the details of getting the house ready (including a front yard that was an absolute mess). She quickly executed a whole new landscape plan; I did not have to think about a thing. I was very impressed by the photos and video advertising she did of the house. It sold very quickly and was a completely stress free experience, which was invaluable at that time in my life. We have also purchased 2 properties with Jessica. Through these experiences I found her to be a steady guide who knows pretty much everything there is to know about real estate transactions. Every realtor I have met in Santa Cruz knows and respects her. She has a plethora of trusted people at her disposal to make any transaction a smooth one. Jessica has a suggestion or referral for any kind of inspection or trade that you could ever think of. I plan on calling Jessica for our next real estate transaction, whenever that may be. She has been doing this a very long time, and I can't imagine I could find a more knowledgable realtor. With Jessica I know everything will be taken care of. She's fabulous. Oh and shout out to Krissy, Jessica's awesome assistant!!

Client review

Having not purchased a home in over 20 years, it was important to find an experienced realtor to guide me through the process. Thank goodness Jessica was my realtor! She listened and understood what I was looking for and when I found it, she guided me through a competitive bid process to ultimate success! Jessica's extensive experience was key for this very positive outcome. I can easily recommend Jessica to anyone seeking to purchase a home.

Client review

We purchased two properties with Jessica. Over the decades we have purchased and sold several properties. Jessica was definitely one of the most helpful agents that we have experienced. Would recommend Jessica to any prospective buyer or seller.

Client review

I met Jessica through a close friend/realtor from San Mateo. I currently live in El Dorado Hills. When I asked Jessica to list our condo in Santa Cruz, from start to finish, it was the easiest real estate transaction I have ever had. Even though I was unavailable due to not being local, she handled everything! Took care of all staging and any fixes needed without me present. Got me an offer within 3 days on a tough property to move. Plus over ask. I would suggest taking a chance on her! No doubt. Very very solid realtor....

Client review

There are not enough words to describe the wonderful experience I had working with Jessica to sell my family home! From listing to closing, her knowledge and passion for what she does shined through! She made the process so easy, I'm sad that I dont have another home for her to sell- thank you again Jessica!

Client review

Jessica is absolutely the top. When my parents passed, and we needed to sell their place, Jessica went above and beyond at every turn to help us get it to market and through the escrow process. She communicates at every turn, offers valuable and realistic feedback, has excellent follow-through, and is just overall a very delightful person. I was entirely pleased with her service throughout the entire process. She knows the market well, and her experience and connections are a real plus.

Client review

Jessica is the best!! We give her the highest recommendation possible! We were new to the area and looking to buy a home, and Jessica was so knowledgeable and helpful. She gave us great insight and advice on local communities, commuting distances, etc. We can't thank her enough for helping us find the perfect home in a challenging market with few properties coming up for sale. She was patient and worked with us for over a year, while we looked in several communities (she knew them all very well) and bid on several homes. Ultimately, we give her all the credit for a successful closing on the ideal home we purchased earlier this year. She alerted us to the upcoming listing, worked around our schedules so we could see it and have a home inspection completed quickly, and helped us navigate the offer and closing process to a successful conclusion in just weeks. Jessica's expertise made all the difference! She is professional, knowledgeable, and it was a joy to work with her and her team.

Client review

Jessica was fantastic! She got the ball rolling right away and never stopped. She has a fantastic team, and everything she does is efficient, cost effective, and looks amazing. She goes above and beyond and treats your property like it was her own. Our home had multiple offers in just 4 days, and we closed the sale right away. You'd be in great hands with Jessica as your agent.

Client review

Jessica Wallace was a pleasure to work with. She was accommodating with her time and very knowledgeable about the market. She was able to immediately advise on the small improvements that the house needed in order to sell quickly and get the best price. All the while, Jessica had an upbeat attitude and it always felt as if I was talking to a friend rather than a realtor. As she had predicted, the house went into a bidding war after being on the market for less than a week, and sold for way over the asking price. The whole process could not have been easier. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an expert in real estate in our town.

Client review

It was an absolute pleasure working with Jessica from start to finish. From the start Jessica visited our home and made several recommendations for preparing the home to get the best price. She goes into great detail what the potential buyers will be interested in. She has in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and the local area. One area Jessica has a great deal of knowledge in was the subject of disclosures. She explained in detail the importance of disclosures in creating a clean sale. She brought up things I never would have thought of. She has great contacts with all the trades and services needed to prepare the home for a sale. She scheduled the home inspection; termite inspection; roof inspections and orchestrated the staging of the interior of our home. The staging turned out fabulous. All the paperwork and signing was explained in detail. Very professional and efficient. The Title Co. she recommended was great to work with. Overall I would give 10 stars out of 10. Great job Jessica

Client review

Jessica did a great job selling my home! I appreciate her honesty and openness along with her market knowledge. With her assistance, Even in this crazy market, I sold my home in 1 week at a price I could live with.

Client review

Working with Jessica was hands down the best decision we ever made. She represented us as both buyers and sellers in this difficult market and performed nothing short of a miracle. We were able to buy the home we wanted in the neighborhood we wanted and are absolutely certain it would not have been possible without her. Selling our home was a shockingly easy process with equally amazing results! Jessica is a dedicated, smart, ethical and well-respected agent who went above and beyond to help us. We know she is busy with many other clients, but always made us feel like her top priority. More importantly, we truly feel like she was always looking out for our best interest. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local Santa Cruz housing market and is well-connected with anyone and everyone you might need during either process. We wholeheartedly recommend Jessica whether you are looking to buy or sell. She is a stellar agent and we would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Client review

As first time home buyers in a competitive market we were really nervous about the process. Jessica was was so patient with us, never rushed us to make a decision, and assured us that the right house would come along. Jessica was always available for questions about houses, construction, neighbors and held our hands through the buying process. When we were viewing open houses, and mentioned that we were working with Jessica, every realtor praised her as a colleague and person and we couldn't agree more with their assessment. Highly recommend reaching out to Jessica if you are looking to buy or sale a home in the area!

Client review

Jessica was absolutely fantastic in helping us sell our home. We received an offer quickly and closed escrow super fast. Jessica and her team were very professional and made the entire process easy and convenient. I am so happy we chose her to represent us and would do it again if I have the chance.

Client review

Jessica was incredibly helpful during the process of selling our condo and weighing different offers. Her knowledge of the local market helped us gauge the right listing price and she was very responsive throughout, being always available for showings as we live out of town. Once we received multiple offers, she helped guide us on the pros and cons of each one and then lead the process of getting us to close. I would recommend Jessica highly.

Client review

Jessica has the unique ability to make you feel like you are her only client. As you can see from her stellar reviews and happy clients that it certainly not the case. We researched and found Jessica 5 years ago to help us find a house in the Santa Cruz area. We just closed on a house last month but throughout the entire time she has been available, knowledgeable, and always helped us keep our dream alive. We think Jessica knows everyone in the Santa Cruz area, which for us out of towners was a huge plus. Need a painter? She's got one for you! Contractor? You bet! Best place to grab a burrito? I bet she has a good recommendation. Jessica also has an amazing support team that will take great care of you throughout the process. Start to finish, we highly recommend Jessica Wallace!

Client review

What a powerhouse! Jessica helped me sell my beach house just as the market turned down. She gave me a list of things I needed to do to get the house ready. She provided recommendations for professionals who could do the work. And, she helped me problem solve issues along to way. The photography and presentation of the house was wonderful. Then as we struggled with a downturned market, she gave me honest advice to lower the price. It then sold quickly at very close to the asking price. It was a two week close, all cash. Thank you Jessica.

Client review

Thank you Jessica for your outstanding service! My husband and I were referred to Jessica Wallace in 2020 by a neighbor that used her to sell their home. We contacted Jessica about our future plans on selling our home. We stayed in contact with Jessica over the next three years while we contemplated our move. She was always available to answer our numerous questions. Her YouTube videos are loaded with valuable information about the Santa Cruz housing market and we always appreciated her knowledge of the area and her professionalism. Recently, Jessica put our townhome on the market and we were in escrow within days. Jessica is an exemplary agent and we highly recommend her!

Client review

Jessica provided focused and realistic input in our preparation of a home for sale that had extremely challenging issues (septic, easement, squatter on the property) in a market that cooled dramatically in the Fall/Winter of 2022. She did a great job on educating us about the contractual matters, and guided us carefully through the selling process. We were very happy with the final terms of the sale that she negotiated, and I believe the buyers were as well. Straight forward, ethical, and professional.

Client review

Jessica sold my 4 Plex in Santa Cruz in 2022. It was a complex transaction and Jessica did a terrific job in keeping the deal together in spite of many complications that arose during the sale. I would highly recommend Jessica Wallace.

Client review

Jessica is a stellar realtor. We had never sold a home before, but she worked with us patiently and professionally from start to finish, giving us advice on how to buy and sell at the same time and how to prep our home, She also took the reins on organizing the work, provided great marketing and, at the end of the day, obtained multiple offers and a price that we were thrilled with.

Client review

Jessica was a dream to work with. Totally professional and good communications throughout. Her team created high quality photos and videos on a short timeline, and then moved at lightning speed to get the home listed and sold. During the process she kept us well informed and followed through after the sale.

Client review

I was evaluating three of the top 1% of agents in the US to sell my home and I'm thankful I partnered with Jessica. Her sales performance and track record are very impressive and I could immediately see how solid and driven her team was as soon as we started working together. Home and pest inspections were organized within 1 business day (even though I spent hours on the phone trying to book ones who were busy for weeks), the place was beautifully furnished, and professional photos and custom tailored videos were shot a couple days later. I realized she has a strong command on her team, giving her priority when I needed it most. We were on the MLS within 3-4 days given my short time constraints, but quality was not sacrificed in the slightest. It was incredible to see Jessica in action and what I valued the most was her ability to repond to my every question as if she did not have other listings to attend to. She's smart, results driven, fair in her perspective/responses, and very easy to talk to and work with.I've done 6 real estate transactions to date and Jessica made this one my best experience so far. I would highly recommend her to family and friends and she has become my go to agent from here on!

Client review

Jessica was very helpful when we were searching for a house. She showed us multiple properties trying to find the right one. She listened carefully to try to determine what we were searching for. She was very quick to answer any emails, texts, or phone calls. She was a pleasure to work with.

Client review

I feel so very fortunate that Jessica Wallace was recommended to me as I began my house hunting in Santa Cruz. I found Jessica to be efficient, clear, responsive, and very knowledgeable of the ins and outs of Santa Cruz real estate.Jessica listened to me and didn't try to send me houses that didn't make any sense. She honed in what what I was looking for. I know that my success in buying my home was because she knew exactly what I was looking for, and was committed to my success in purchasing a home. I highly recommend Jessica!

Client review

It was a fantastic experience having Jessica Wallace as our realtor for our recent home sale. She is knowledgeable and confident, and displayed a very strong understanding of the local market. She has a network of professionals that she was able to call upon to complete the preparations needed to get our home ready for sale. She was responsive and straight forward, and coordinated everything efficiently. It was a stress-free first-class experience selling our home with Jessica; something I didnt know was possible from our past real estate transactions! On top of everything, she was warm and kind, and a pleasure to work with. We enthusiastically recommend Jessica to everyone, and will definitely call her for our future real estate needs. Scott and DesirA(C)e Santa Cruz, CA

Client review

Choosing Jessica Wallace as our realtor was bet the best decision our family could have done out the gate. Her professionalism, local knowledge, and experience is second to none. We had a time sensitive deadline where we had 2 weeks to list and sell and Jessica was able to make it happen. I would recommend her for everyone looking to sell or purchase a property in Santa Cruz county. Jessica and her team know how to get things done. Look no further and give her a call! Ryan B.

Client review

Jessica came highly recommended to me when I moved to Santa Cruz, and I was not disappointed. When I first started working with her, I was unsure of the market here and undecided on whether I should buy or continue renting, so Jessica showed me a full variety of condos to give me a feel for what types of properties were available. She spent a lot of time with me, even though she knew I was renting a great apartment and might not buy a place for a while. Ultimately it took quite a while before I decided it was a good time to buy, but throughout that time Jessica was always willing to answer questions when the occasional property piqued my interest.Fast forward to now, and Jessica has just gotten me and my boyfriend into an amazing home. Throughout the process I felt that she was incredibly knowledgeable about the Santa Cruz market, and very genuine when giving advice. I believe she always had our best interests in mind. On top of that, she was always very easy to reach, and quick to respond to whatever questions we had or clarifications we needed. Overall, the experience of working with Jessica to buy a home felt very personalized, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the Santa Cruz area.

Client review

Jessica is a star. There is no other way to describe her level of professionalism and personal service. And the word aEURoepersonalaEUR? is the key aspect of her outstanding support. Jessica makes things happen while building relationships that last a lifetime. Her cheerful demeanor, practical and calm approach to solving problemsaEUR"dealing with the thorniest of issuesaEUR"is what makes her the one of finest real estate agents of her generation. Jessica is a star.

Client review

Jessica was patient with us while we figured out if we were upgrading in the area or moving out of the area. We toured several properties with her and ultimately decided to move away. She came to our house multiple times as we packed and cleaned up to help us figure out what we needed to do to get our home listed and get the price we were hoping for. We sold over asking even as Covid made it impossible to show the house. She also was such a big help when we ultimately moved to Boston and needed to do a remote signing to close and kept us up to date on how our closing was progressing. I would highly recommend her as your agent for buying or selling your home!

Client review

I just sold my house in Aptos and am so happy that I chose Jessica. After deciding to sell my house, I interviewed three agents and asked each of them to provide me a broker market analysis. Jessica responded within a day, with a complete and well-researched analysis. After hiring her, Jessica went to work, providing me with very specific instructions on how to get the house market-ready and how to stage it. Within a few days, she deployed a high-quality marketing campaign, complete with professionally-taken pictures of the house, online video-tour, a house brochure, and advertising in all the appropriate outlets. Then, she quickly arranged a broker tour, two open houses, and multiple showings. Within 10 days, we received two offers on the house, both of them above the asking price. Jessica helped me decide who the best buyer was, then promptly took care of setting up the house closing. The closing itself was a breeze. Throughout the process, Jessica remained extremely diligent and professional. She was always fast in returning my calls, texts, and emails, and I always felt that I was in good hands. I highly recommend her!

Client review

Jessica is very knowledgeable about the Santa Cruz area and gave us great insight into the different neighborhoods and towns. She is also honest and straightforward when it comes to giving advice about a property. She helped us talk through the pros and cons of each place, and helped us find answers to questions. Since she's familiar with the area, she was able to give us referrals to local businesses, which has been wonderful. Jessica is the experienced real estate professional you want to work with in Santa Cruz county.

Client review

We listed at a slower time of year, Jessica explained clearly why she suggested the price she did, we had a good contract within 2 weeks. When closing was delayed because of buyers mortgage broker, Jessica was on it every day and kept us informed. She is experienced, well connected, knowledgeable and a good communicator.

Client review

Jessica went above and beyond in a very challenging market to ensure that we found and got the house we wanted. Since then she has continued to be a great resource for me. She never fails to respond when I call her with questions. Her knowledge of the community and its resources are invaluable.

Client review

Jessica is a total professional. I was reviewing different realtors and came across Jessica's profile as a leader in the community as a realtor. I called and met with her the next evening,which she meant me on my hours. Jessica listened to me and quickly realized the value of my home, which was mostly location. She impressed with her marketing and knew what was important to me from listening. She also introduced me to her assistant Sugaree, who is also licensed and awesome. I was in good hands and either were always available. Jessica never made me feel dumb for not knowing terms or any questions I had during the process. She knew what we needed to do, to sell my house at the highest price which sold the day it was listed. She always respected my opinion and never pushed anything on me. I feel she looked out for me and my future and actually cared about me and not just her commission. I would recommend to her to anyone who is selling their home. The only sad thing is not having a reason to call her everyday because my house is sold. I truly hope we stay in contact! She is WONDERFUL!!

Client review

Jessica was very knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind. She listened and showed me properties that fit my needs. She also is creative and made suggestions regarding things I didnt think of! I have used her service multiple times and always recommend her to friends!

Client review

My husband and I enjoyed and appreciated working with Jessica. She is hard-working, responsive, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable. Jessica is a winning combination of persistence and patience. We worked with her on two real estate transactions; a 1031 Exchange and the purchase of our new home. We couldnt be happier with the outcome on both properties.

Client review

Jessica is the reason we have a new house to move into. She skillfully guided us through negotiations with multiple offers, and ultimately won the house at the lowest possible price. Without her local expertise we would have either lost the house or overpaid. Through inspections and closing she kept us in the loop and was able to close on an accelerated timeline. Thank you Jessica!
