If you look up Perfect Real Estate Agent in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Jessica Eva. I'm serious.

A friend of a relative recommended Jessica. We contacted her just to interview her and set a meeting for a couple of days later. When we arrived, Jessica had an amazing package put together including comps, market analysis and trends, photos, information on Sotheby's, the works. She was knowledgeable, professional, informed, and had just the most positive attitude ever. She was realistic about the listing price. She pointed out all the positives, but she did not let us be lured into a pie in the sky situation. Before the meeting my husband and I had promised each other that we definitely would not make a decision on whether to list our home with her until we had interviewed another agent. At the end of the presentation, we looked at each other, gave one of those married-for-25-years nods, and listed our home with Jessica.

Although our house had been a rental for the past five years, we had raised our two children, three dogs, a cat, and a hamster in this well loved home in a great neighborhood. There was a fair amount of work to be done to bring our house to market: interior and exterior paint, lots of handyman work, huge cleaning, landscaping facelift, and staging. Jessica took time to walk through and discuss with us every single detail, letting us know which items were a priority and which could be deferred. She got competitive bids, scheduled all of the work, and oversaw every detail to bring our house to market in the best position. This part of the process could have been stressful for us, as we no longer live in the Bay Area, but Jessica handled every single detail, keeping us informed of the progress at every step.

Jessica was also meticulous in reviewing with us all of the reports and disclosures. While she absolutely represented us, she was also mindful of the need for full and accurate information to be presented to potential buyers. Jessica's integrity is unparalleled. She does not cut corners, and she does not equivocate. She lays things out exactly as they are. And still, she always, always finds the positives. I have never met a more forthright and optimistic person.

Jessica found the perfect buyers for our home at an excellent price. She worked closely with us and with the buyers' agent to be sure the deal was consummated. There were no unforeseen roadblocks because Jessica had laid the groundwork well, anticipated every next step, and paid close attention to detail. She actually facilitated a meeting with the buyers for a final walk through, which was bittersweet. While we were nostalgic about selling our family home, we were so happy to meet the new family who would raise their children in our magical neighborhood.

So, if you are buying or selling, do yourself a favor and sign with Jessica. I guarantee you will not regret it.
