Rucker Schwartz Group

Jessica's experience and incredible handle on the SF market was so helpful for me during my search. She was always frank and honest about whether a property was a good deal or not. It was clear to me that Jessica had no agenda other than finding me the right home. With other agents, I felt like I was being pressured into a house just so the agent could make a sale. Jessica's specialty is her clear communication about advantages and the drawbacks of a house as well as her ability to help me get really clear about what I was looking for. As a single woman, buying a home alone, she held my hand every step of the way. She was also extremely creative about how to put my offer at the head of the line so that I could make sure I would not loose the house I loved. She advocated fiercely and gracefully on my behalf. And her great connections made working with her a wonderful experience. Jessica is the best real estate agent I could hope for. I would highly recommend working with her!!!

Jessica is one of the most sincere and energetic persons I have ever met!I had the great fortune of meeting Jessica through mutual friends and knew right away that I would be in very good hands navigating my search for a new home. Jessica listened and took to heart what I was looking for in a property, but also made certain that I was comfortable with my decisions. When a beautiful condo came along in my price range, she provided me with extensive resources regarding potential issues that I may have otherwise overlooked. At the end of the day, I was able to determine that the property wasn't for me and we continued our search. Soon afterwards, Jessica found an awesome condo in Sausalito that I might not have considered until I saw it. Fantastic find!Throughout the buying process, Jessica really went above and beyond, helping me to make decisions that I was comfortable with and providing me with multiple resources that I would not have likely found as quickly, or at all, on my own. And after the sale, Jessica continues to check in on me to make sure the transition to my new home continues to go smoothly.As I write this, I'm sitting on my new patio with a peaceful view of cypress trees, a sparkling blue pool and Mt. Tam beyond. Thank you so much, Jessica Rucker! I am beyond grateful for your expert help and am so happy to know you now as a friend!

Jessica Rucker is a true gem in a crazy market! After trying to sell our home twice in the past couple years with no good offers, Jessica sold it in under 2 weeks! Granted the market had turned around significantly, but I believe her expert advice on staging and necessary repairs was integral in finding the right buyer at the right price. She placed open house signs all over our neighborhood (way more then previous agents who tried to sell our home) and with Zephyr's resources, her marketing packet was gorgeous! She was so incredibly easy to work with, true professional, yet easy going enough that I actually LOVED the process of selling our home. As a mom of two kids, this experience could have been a nightmare, but it was actually so much fun!I looked forward to her updates and had fun in the process.She even helped us find a temporary rental in this crazy market while we staged the home. Honestly, I cannot rave about her expertise enough.....I would recommend her without hesitation!

All I really need to say is that Jessica sold our SF condo in 3 weeks....but I will say more. Jessica was amazing to work with. She was beyond dedicated. She managed many details of staging, remodel work and paperwork gracefully. She kept us on schedule and had realistic and successful pricing and marketing strategies. She dealt with my anxiety about selling so well too. She helped us during the intense offer process to stay clear on our goals. Plus she is really nice. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Jessica is an outstanding agent who is focused solely on her clients' needs. From the outset, she listens closely and asks questions to ensure that she understands what clients want in an affordable price range. She then diligently researches potential opportunities and proactively brings vetted properties for consideration. When Jessica found our home, she worked quickly and closely to prepare and submit our offer in one day. She marketed us as buyers in the best way and developed strong relationships with the listing agent. And once our offer was accepted, she worked diligently with inspectors, agents, the lender and title company to close the transaction in the three weeks promised in our contract. Jessica also has an excellent network of tradespeople for any necessary improvements or changes to a property. It's funny that since we found our home so quickly, I miss talking to Jessica!

As a first time home buyer, I was very lucky to have Jessica as my agent. I couldn't have possibly found and purchased the new home without Jessica's help. She is very knowledgable, patient and trust worthy. She kept me well informed before each decision so that I knew what I was getting into and nothing would come out as a surprise. She is not a sales person but a friend/partner who is helping you with a big decision in your life.She helped me with a short sale, from what I heard, I thought it would be a wild wild ride, but it turned out to be so easy with her help. We had a very short time frame to close and she did an amazing job guiding me through the process from explaining all the documents I needed to sign to a list of things I needed to do after closing. I highly highly recommend her!

After relocating to San Francisco for work, my husband and I realized that renting an apartment was practically impossible since we own two pit bull mixed breed dogs. We decided that our best option was to buy a condo. It was just pure luck that we found Jessica. She was very up front with us in explaining our many challenges. We were looking for a very inexpensive condo, with parking, near a park, in the north part of the city, which would allow our two dogs. We didn't even know if a place like this existed! While Zephyr offers many great tools to assist their clients, Jessica really went above and beyond to help us in our dilemma. Because of her dedication, she not only found an outstanding property for us, but she was also able to make this unlikely purchase a reality. Jessica is very experienced and very professional, and she is a joy to work with. She kept us in the loop and informed throughout the process, and she was very diligent. We couldn't have had a better buying experience! Thanks Jessica!!

Jen & Jess were incredibly helpful as we navigated this whole process. As first-time home buyers in this crazy market, it was great to have their guidance and expertise. They respected our desire to go slowly and get comfortable with the process. They made a long-term commitment in us and our search lasted well over a year (entirely because we would go back and forth on neighborhoods, or whether we were even interested in a house).

Jessica is a great real-estate agent and a wonderful human being. We feel very fortunate to have had her help in finding our home.Looking back at our home-search parameters, I am still amazed at how Jessica handled everything. Like everyone else, we were searching for the perfect house, in the perfect location, and at an insanely low price. In addition, such house was to bridge the generational and cultural divide between us (more precisely,me) and my husband's parents, who had just moved from the East Coast to live with us.Needless to say, it was mission impossible.At no time in the process did Jessica suggest that we were insane (we were). At no time did we feel pressured into pursuing this or that property. At no time did her commitment to finding us our dream-place wavered.When we decided, after 4 months of fruitless searching, to place our bets on a short sale, Jessica was right there, ready to begin the LONG process of getting us into the property. She navigated the "unmotivated seller" situation gracefully and efficiently. She followed up, nudged the right people at just the right times. She negotiated. She was on top of it from start to finish, and we felt like a good, reliable friend was taking care of everything for us.In short, if you're on the market, buying or selling a house, call Jessica. She'll take excellent care of you.

We had a terrific experience working with Jessica to buy our first home in San Francisco.Jessica worked tirelessly to find the perfect house for us. At the beginning of the process we weren't clear about what we wanted. But she took us to see LOTS of houses and asked us lots of questions and she really helped us figure out what mattered most to us.In the end, she found a house that was off the market that was everything we were looking for. She really came through for us.As a bonus, Jessica works with Jen and when Jessica was out of town Jen filled in seamlessly. They are a fantastic team!

Working with Jen and Jessica to purchase our first home was a great experience!We met Jessica during an open house; we were just casually looking and didn't have any agent working with us at the time. Jessica works with Jen and they are a great team. During our first meeting they walked us through the whole buying process and explained everything in a simple way. The way that they communicate with their clients is efficient and not too overwhelming.Even though the SF market is crazy and extremely fast, they did an awesome job holding our hands and helping us navigate it as smoothly as it could have been.They are true professionals, super organized, and very competent. We'd certainly recommend them.

Real estate agents get a bad rap. But I'm telling you, if you think you can purchase a home in SF without one you are mistaken! You need Jessica Rucker! She is NOT a sales person. She is an expert real estate consultant who will help you navigate the most difficult of markets during these crazy economic times.I simply could have not purchased my home without Jessica. I had been looking for over a year and hadn't made one offer. Discouraged, I gave up for a while, but then a friend recommended Jessica so I gave her a call. Within 2 months of meeting her I made an offer on the home I own today!Doing this on my own, I really needed someone who would partner with me during the the biggest purchase of my life. I needed someone who would help me understand every option at each stage of the process. Thankfully, Jessica has a background in coaching, so she really listened and fully understood my wants and desires. With her excellent market knowledge and what she learned about me she was able to recommend listings that I would never have found or considered.She was totally honest with me about the homes we were looking at. If she thought there was something fishy, she told me so, but always allowing me to make the decisions.During escrow, she really held my hand every step of the way. She was thorough, read every document, and told me what I needed to know when I needed to know it. She was always available to answer my questions. She didn't miss a beat with my complicated co-op loan process, making sure documents got signed and delivered from and to all parties. She even saved me thousands of the purchase price by noticing a faulty window.I will 100% work with Jessica again and I highly recommend you give her a call right away!

My partner and I met Jen at an open house in Potrero Hill early in 2016. Soon after meeting she sent us properties that fit our interests to a tee! When we found the place for us we called Jen and she and Jess moved into action! Within 2 days the place was ours...w/o financing approved upfront!While we have bought 3 properties, this purchase was by far the best experience we've had. Jen and Jess' attention to detail and focus on great customer service was unsurpassed. We constantly felt like they were working on our best behalf, from beginning to the end. Plus they are both super friendly! Can't say much more!

Wow! These ladies are great! We can't say enough good things about this dynamic duo.My wife is very picky and even she can't come up with one thing she would've changed through our home selling process with Jessica and Jen. Upon immediately working with them they formed a great game plan and kept us on track to sell our Bernal Heights home. We were pleased with their strategy, consistent touch bases, work ethic, and execution. We both feel they got us the best price for our beloved home.We highly recommend getting this team on your side for buying or selling.Simply put, they're top notch in SF and can't be beat.

Selling a house is a big thing. It can be time-consuming, exhaustive, confusing at times, and almost often slightly complicated. A lot of pieces goes into selling a home, all which needs to be carefully orchestrated in order for both the sellers and buyers to be happy with the outcome of the sale. Now imagine trying to do this while living in the home that you are selling, having to live through open houses and tours. With two kids under the age of 5. It was definitely a feat we were hesitant to take on, but it was something we needed to do for our family.Once we made our decision to sell, we knew that the Jessica and Jen team were the people who could help us achieve our goal. We have known Jessica Rucker for many years, having met her when we were looking to buy our first home in San Francisco. She's been much more than our realtor over the years. She's become our family friend and someone whom we trust very much.Jessica and Jen really knows their stuff when it comes to the often fickle but extremely hot in demand SF real estate market. Individually they are great, but together they make a strong team that anyone would be lucky to have on their side when buying or selling a home. They not only provide helpful and honest, truthful advice, but they are also wonderful people who really care about their clients. They definitely know how to get things done in a very professional manner. They help guide people through decisions, they don't push or pressure which I think is a rare thing to find. They were able to help navigate us through the entire home selling process while trying their best to help us to minimize our stress.Jessica and Jen are strong communicators, knowledgeable, and helped us to achieve our goals. If we ever decided to move back to the city, they will be the ones we would call, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy their first home or those who are thinking about selling their home.

How do I even begin to say how great Jess and Jen are and how easy they made the process of preparing our SF home for sale, not to mention the sale itself? We had a big job ahead of us preparing our 2100 sq ft SF condo for sale and we wanted to get the maximum we could (of course) for the sale itself. To start I will say that right from the first meeting my husband and I were impressed with Jessica and Jen's professionalism mixed with instant likability. They were hand's down the most prepared upon our first meeting out of three real estate agents/agencies we interviewed, were super easy to talk to and made us instantly at ease that they could handle helping us with all that we would need to do to get the price we wanted for our home. They reassured us that they would help us in every way with everything we needed to do...and they did!! To say Jessica was up to the task of being our project manager is a huge understatement, and Jen's ability to manage all the back office and web presence aspects for selling our home was like nothing we've ever experienced before. Jessica converted our hippie, boho, rock-n-roll condo into a beautiful, sleek, modern instantly marketable "blank slate" for the prospective buyers. Jen created a slick, easy to navigate web site for our sale that impressed everyone who viewed it. All documents were managed easily through Docusign enabling us to work on what was needed even if we weren't in town. I'll leave off saying that we can't recommend Jess and Jen enough if you are looking for a professional, super on top of it team to help you navigate and manage the sale of your home. They truly know their market, neighborhoods and what buyers want and need. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

If you're selling your house in San Francisco, you won't find better agents to help than Jen and Jessica. They gave us white glove treatment and left no stone unturned when it came to doing all the right things to sell our house. We set an aggressive goal for getting the price we wanted for our Bernal home, and Jen and Jessica made all the right moves for us to meet our goal! They're professional, down to earth, and a general joy to work with. The best part is they made the entire process as stress-free as could be, managing all the details, logistics, contractors, handymen...you name it, they did it! I'm not sure how we would have managed the sale and moving to a new city without them. If you're looking for a powerhouse duo to help you, look no further!

Jessica is AMAZING! She is knowledgable, thorough and goes out of her way to accommodate me with relevant information. She knows the in's and out's of RE in the city and especially Bernal Hill. Not that I would encourage this but she let's me to call/text anytime if I have a question (although she has a toddler) and she is extremely quick to find answers. Also, she really tries to understand my needs and what we are looking for so she can find us a good fit.Most of all, she doesn't feel like a 'sales person'. She's more like a partner in the search. She always raises the pro's and con's and is sure you know what you are getting yourself into. Jessica is honest, well organized and hard working. She just makes the whole process nice and smooth. I highly recommend her.

Our home buying experience with Jen was excellent!We were first time home buyers, not exactly sure how much we could afford or what neighborhood we wanted to live in. We casually toured some open houses and didn't connect with any of the agents we met. Jen and Jess came highly recommended from our financial adviser and did not disappoint.They took the time to educate us about the process. Jen and Jess are extremely knowledgeable, have a keen attention to detail, and a knack for negotiation. I felt very comfortable coming to them for mortgage lender advice. The whole time, they had our best interests in mind and made us feel no question was out of their scope. Buying in a tough seller's market wasn't easy, but Jen was always there to reassure us and give us the knowledge and confidence to continue our search.We ended up with the house and neighborhood of our dreams. We can't thank them enough and would recommend them to any San Francisco house hunter.

My review for my absolute excellent experience working with Jen Schwartz is long overdue. As my partner and I are approaching our 1 year anniversary as homeowners in San Francisco, I started thinking about how that all happened. We were a typical SF story of losing our long term rent controlled apartment to developers. Once we knew we had to vacate, in our desperation we considered buying a place. We talked to an awesome mortgage broker who introduced us to Jen. It was an emotional time in our lives because we didn't know where we were going to land. Jen was extremely sensitive to that. She worked quickly with our frantic deadline. And she guided us patiently through everything as we were brand new to the real estate market. She helped us realize homeownership was the way to go for us. We got so much attention from her that we felt truly taken care of. I would highly recommend Jen, especially if you are completely inexperienced to buying a home. Like us! And most importantly Jen made it very clear we can reach out to her for guidance or questions about our new home even after we closed. We are so grateful she was our agent!

We worked with Jess and Jen to buy our first house, and their knowledge and advice helped make the process seamless especially in the fast paced San Francisco market!In the beginning, they helped us set expectations for our budget and track recently sold properties in the neighborhoods we were interested in to understand the difference between list price and what the homes were actually selling for. When we started making offers, they met incredibly tight deadlines and were always available to go over logistics or meet us for another walk through. In the end, we couldn't be happier with our purchase, and I would highly recommend Jess and Jen as real estate agents! We couldn't have done this without them!

We have used Jessica for both buying and selling in San Francisco. In both cases, the professionalism, attention to detail, wit, humour and tenacity to get the best possible deal shown by Jessica was second to none.Real Estate agents don't come better in guiding you through what can be a stressful process - we are truly confident in recommending Jessica to represent you faithfully and honestly in your real estate buying and selling in San Francisco.

We worked with Jessica and had the pleasure of meeting Jen. Jessica was an experience that we didn't expect...Our Amiga! Her dedication to our details of what we wanted and our situation felt like she was buying for herself. The hubby is very particular and Jess was able to disarm him and make him feel comfortable knowing that we picked a true gem....this confirmed my many reasons I knew Jess would get us our home...we faced the challenge of not being able to buy in San Francisco but Jess came through and found us our home in Daly City. It was incredible to witness the knowledge and dedication of how Jess kept us informed daily to keep us excited and hopeful that it was going to happen for us. Thanks Amiga!

Jessica and Jen are the go to agents in SF. These ladies make are the "pros". I highly recommend them for any residential, investment or commercial property in SF.Thank you ladies for going the extra step to sell our Valley Street property.

If we could give Jen Schwartz 100 out of 5 stars we would hands down. She is not just a realtor but an honest, reliable, trustworthy, knowledgable, professional, resourceful and kind person and now friend.House shopping has been a stressful process but Jen made it fun and always ensured that we were well educated on the properties we were looking at. She took the time to explain and answer above and beyond questions we had and never made us feel rushed or unsure of what we were looking at. We never once felt like she was just trying to sell us anything, but we always knew she was looking to help us find the right home for us. We have had good realtors in the past but Jen was amazing and we honestly don't think we would have been able to end up with our dream house in the inner Richmond without her.He partner Jessica is also phenomenal. We are forever grateful for the time she prioritized our house shopping inquiries over her personal plans which ultimately led us to the home we just took over today.Words cannot express how fortunate we feel to have Jen and Jessica represent us with class, professionalism, knowledge and respect. If you are looking for awesome realtors you have found them!

Working with Jen and Jess was wonderful.We met with Jen at the very beginning of our home buying process. She gave us the lay of the land, and was able to connect us with the right people to get our home search going. After seeing a few homes with Jen, it was clear that she wanted to find the right home for us, not just make a sale.For every home we looked at, Jen showed us what to look for, and was able to give ideas around what we could do with the space. Our process moved very quickly, but Jen was there to carefully explain every step and make us feel very comfortable. After the seller accepted our offer, both Jen and Jess were on top of everything. We never felt like we had unanswered questions or didn't know what was going on. They checked in at exactly the right moments and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel easy; there are so many small things along the way that Jen and Jess do exactly right.If you're looking for a great experience, work with Jen and Jess!

Jess and Jen are absolutely amazing! They are extremely knowledgeable, organized, and efficient. They provide expert advice, while still ensuring that you remain in the driver's seat. Their project management really couldn't be better. Everything is well structured, executed immediately, with clear and consistent communications. They give excellent recommendations and make really good use of your time. On top of being truly fabulous at their jobs, they're both wonderful people. We really enjoyed checking in with them, and I imagine we'll keep in touch for many years to come!

Starting the process to buy a place in SF right now is daunting. We honestly were thinking it was just not even possible. Jessica not only proved us wrong, but got us a dream home.Start to finish, the time Jessica spent with us navigating the buying process was incredible. She didn't just help us find a house. She educated us on how to look, where to look, how to remodel. She taught us what we can change in a home and how to change it. Once we landed our home she continued to guide us through renovations, put us in touch with contractors, and helped managed the renovation work! Jess has just blown my wife and I away in terms of how she's worked with us over the whole process. There is no way we would have landed in our home without her. Period.White glove doesn't even begin to describe the level of service. I don't think there's any part of the whole real estate process she's not an expert in (including therapist!). In the end we not only have an incredible realtor, we feel like we have a friend.

Selling a house can be stressful, but not when you engage Jess & Jen, the power team! I cannot image a better experience than what I experienced. From the first presentation of how they would list and market the house, until the signing over of title, these two managed THE ENTIRE PROCESS in an organized, professional and caring way. I was in the last stages of a divorce, and they navigated this beautifully with excellent communication - what could have been a stressful situation was handled with care for both parties. Most importantly - their pricing strategy evolved with the market and we were able to sell at far over my expectations! I wholeheartedly recommend them to any seller or buyer looking for the height of professionalism and care in real estate transactions.

All the reviews of Jess and Jen are absolutely true. These women are superstar realtors. Having bought and sold houses a few times now, I can absolutely say that this team is smarter and more competent than any realtors I've worked with. Here's how I would break it down:* Extremely organized. From the first minute you meet with them to discuss the strengths and potential sale price of your house, to the close out, they are armed with detailed to-do lists and follow through on tasks large and small. They even project managed annoying and stressful things for us, such as having the back fence rebuilt.* Competitive. They know the market, they keep tabs on subtle changes, they have a dense network to tap into, and they play to win. When we listed our house, the market was super iffy. They made changes on the fly to respond to shifting buyer behavior, and never lost faith they could sell our house for the price we were hoping for, even when we started to freak out. Furthermore, they had backup plans and creative ideas in case things really went off the rails, which they discussed with us the whole way.* Chill and empathetic. Jen and Jess are both extremely communicative people, which is great, so you are never left hanging wondering what is going on with your house. When you stress, they are there for you. They are very level headed about the process.Do not hesitate to work with these two! You will be glad you did. They're the type of people who be at the top of any field they went into, but lucky for us buyers and sellers, they are realtors. :)

Jess and Jen are a dynamic duo. We are first-time homebuyers all because of them! Buying a home seemed impossible in SF but once we started working with Jen and Jess, the whole process was broken down and easy to understand. When looking for houses, Jen would point out problems with the house and what to look for that might be an issue later. We really appreciated learning about home maintenance!What makes them really incredible is that once the home is yours, Jen and Jess are still there to help. They have connections to contractors and know everything about fixing up/remodeling your home. If you have kids, they'll even help you through the SF public schools process! We had an issue with our home warranty and they were able to get us a refund on a service we already paid for. Honestly, if any issues come up, the first thing we say is, "let's ask Jen and Jess"!

Jessica and her team are amazing! They have sheparded us through two sales and one home purchase! I am a picky person and I have no complaints about working with Jessica. She's SO organized and so helpful with every aspect of the process. We went from not looking and not prequalified for a loan to moved into the new home and in contract on our prior home in less than two months! And she made the process feel fairly easy. She found everything I needed (handyman, packer, organizer) to make the process smooth. I fully recommend her!!

Jess and Jen knew exactly what to do to get top dollar on our sale with minimal time, effort, and cost. The pricesheet estimates were accurate and we realized full market potential. Everything happened on schedule, within budget, and without problem. The only surprise was that we were able to do all this during a pandemic.Hats off to Jen, Jess and team! They earned every penny.

From the very first conversation with Jess we felt we were in good hands - clear explanation of the process and what to expect, very responsive, consultative, a trusted advisor.We moved out, gave Jess our keys, and she handled everything. She turned our home into a showcase with her amazing team of professionals in less than 30 days. She created a schedule and budget for us, staying perfectly on target through the entire process. Her advice at all stages was outstanding. We basically just agreed with her good advice along the way and then she took care of all the details.Once we went to market she was personally engaged throughout the process with daily updates. With her strong guidance we ended up with multiple offers above asking. The outcome of her process is testament to her skills. We couldn't be happier and would encourage anyone selling or buying in San Francisco to give Jess and Jen a call. We are nothing short of delighted.

I am not even sure where to start with Jess and Jen--Our lives would be in a different place completely....TLDR: Jess and Jen helped us purchase our first house for 20K under list, referred us to incredibly competent professionals to assist with renovations, and then sold our house 30+% above asking 5 years later. Can't say enough about this dynamic duo. I can't imagine working with anyone else....

Husband and I highly recommend working with Jessica Rucker and Jen Schwartz and their team. They guided us through selling our San Francisco/Glen Park home with genuine care and excellent professionalism. They had wonderful resources for house preparation, were well connected, responsive, attentive to all the details, and consistently gave us wise counsel. Anything involving your home can get personal fast; Jessica Rucker added brilliance and insight to our home selling project, and Jen Schwartz got stuff done adeptly and with light heartedness!

We were in the early stages of house hunting, checking out open houses and scrolling Zillow endlessly. My wife came home from an open house in Bernal and strongly encouraged me to head down there myself - to see the house, yes, but also to meet the realtor who was showing it, Jess Rucker. I did - and we started working with her soon after. She was very relatable, and she just did an outstanding job of helping us understand how and why to buy a home, and how to get one that works for us.Jess, and later her partner Jenn, were very attentive and helpful all the way through the process. When the right house came, we were ready, and she helped us craft an offer that was strong enough to get accepted. Then, once the house was bought, they connected us with tradespeople to help do some renovations before we moved in - including some structural work, not just cosmetic stuff. They helped keep things organized, on track, and smooth.We've now been in the house a year, and we are very happy. These are good people, whom we are still glad to call friends. If you're in the market, call them!

Thanks to Jess & Jen, I am buying my first home after decades of planning and waiting in a very competitive market.You couldn't ask for a better team in patience, persistence, and perseverance in helping you find the right property for the right price with the right perspective.
