Pam Jacobs

    • My wife and I recently used the Jacobs Group to sell a condominium in Palatine IL. We were referred to Pam Jacobs by a current homeowner. After meeting Pam, we were impressed by her professionalism and knowledge of the Palatine area. After discussing our goals as sellers, Pam made several recommendations for improvements that she thought, as the realtor, would result in good traffic and interest, as well as a sense of urgency and ultimately a quick sale.The first weekend more than 20 showings were scheduled, resulting in multiple offers. With Pams recommendations, one of the offers was accepted and negotiations regarding several items were settled with mutual (buyer & seller) satisfaction.In addition, Tracy Covek, also of Jacobs Group, assisted us with document preparation and reminders of tasks to get done and when to get them done by, all very much appreciated.We both felt that the agents from the Jacobs Group had our best interest in mind. We would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

    • "Pam knew the market so well that she could direct us to a perfect part of Barrington for our needs! She found a great house through her network, before it went on the market, and coached us through the process of buying. What else could we ask for?"

      - Jamie M - Bought a Home in Barrington
    • Tracy Covek was fantastic, providing enormous value at every part of the process of our home purchase in Lake Barrington, IL. We really appreciated her candid perspective and negotiation experience. She was proactively on top of every step and her communication was timely and exactly what we needed. Tracy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we could not be more pleased with our entire experience. Thank you Tracy!

    • "We had a great experience selling our home in Inverness. Pam Jacobs was terrific. She had a very good understanding of the market in our area and brought a wealth of experience. She was on top of everything throughout the process. She and her partner, Tracy Covek made the process move along efficiently. They were very accessible at any time we needed. Also a big shout out and kudos to Dawn, who advised us on preparing our home for showings. We had a multitude of showings over a short period of time and Pam managed them smoothly. The marketing materials especially the hard cover illustrated book was wonderful. We can recommend the Jacobs Group of @properties with enthusiasm and have already done so with friends who are thinking about selling in the near future."

      - Roy and Sharfi S - Sold a Home in Inverness

      - Tony & Gail B - Sold a Home in Barrington / Bought a Home in Kildeer
    • We had the distinct pleasure to work with Pam Jacobs and her team at The Jacobs Group. We are new to the area, and she assisted us in buying a house in Barrington Hills, IL.Pams experience in real estate and the Chicagoland area shows through immediately. Within a few short conversations, we felt that Pam understood our familys needs and she promptly got to work.Pam was tireless, available, patient, fun to work with, and easily met every timeline set before her.Pam misses nothing. In our case, she pointed out multiple issues in several different properties that we had not noticed or considered that turned out to be very important to our decision-making process.Moreover, Pam was a tough, savvy negotiator who is calm and cool under pressure. She successfully negotiated for a fair market value on our home.Quite simply, there wasnt one problem that she didnt solve or help solve for us.Even after closing on our house, Pam has gone above and beyond by staying in contact and checking in on us to determine our satisfaction with our purchase, and even giving us recommendations on local businesses, restaurants and things to do.If you have real estate needs, do yourself a favor and call The Jacobs Group. We certainly have no regrets hiring Pam and The Jacobs Group, and she will be our first call if we need a real estate agent again.Bravo Jacobs Group!

      - Erin W - Bought a Home in Barrington Hills
    • My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Pam Jacobs of The Jacobs Group! She is kind, patient, professional, and very knowledgeable on the Barrington/Deer Park area and the surrounding suburbs. Moving from the City of Chicago, and not being originally from Illinois, her local insight was especially helpful as we narrowed in on the perfect location to purchase a home. Throughout our search, Pam was honest with us about home values (she never wanted us to overpay) and what makes a house a good investment. She was always responsive and listened intently to what our wishes were - so much so, that she knew how we'd feel about a house even before we did! She always made us feel like we were a priority and never pressured us if something didn't feel right. We truly felt that she wanted us to find the house that was the best fit for our family. Pam's strong local network was invaluable. We were often able to see houses before they were listed, which was key in the current real estate market. When we finally found the house we were looking for, she seamlessly walked us through every aspect of the home buying process, even when we hit a few bumps in the road. With Pam on our side, we successfully closed on our dream house! If you're looking for a house in the Barrington/Deer Park area, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Pam Jacobs! I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you to Pam, everyone at The Jacobs Group (Tracy Covek and Kris Kerkman), and Pam's unparalleled network of professionals (Mark Herrick of Angelina & Herrick, P.C.; All American Property Inspectors; Echo Home Inspection Inc.)!

      - Kelly M - Bought a Home in Deer Park
    • The Jacobs Group, and Pam Jacobs especially, shine in a world that has forgotten the meaning of customer service. Pam took time with us to walk us through every aspect of listing and selling our house in Barrington, from an honest opinion about areas that should be updated/changed, to referring reliable professionals to do the work, to staging , showing and ultimately selling our home. Honest, reliable & trustworthy. Pam explains up front that the best real estate deals leave all parties feeling like they got a win. Love that philosophy! Being corporate nomads, weve had our share of moves. No one compares. The Jacobs Group is a concierge experience in a fast paced world. The Jacobs Groups secret? They care.

      - Carol R - Sold a Home in Barrington
    • Pam was amazing to work with! From the start Pam was very professional, honest, kind and extremely knowledgeable. As a first time home buyer I wasnt sure what to expect. She answered all my questions and walked us through the entire process. Pam was great to communicate with and quick to schedule showings. She worked with our schedules and was flexible with her own to accommodate us. She was patient and showed us numerous houses until we found the right fit. Her experience and professional network is invaluable. Her team was also great to work with throughout the entire process. I would absolutely refer Pam in a heartbeat!

      - Kristen P - Bought a Home in Cary
    • We've just bought a new home through Kris at the Jacobs Group who did an impeccable job the whole way through. What initially stood out about her is, prior to being ready to really look, I couldn't get past wanting to find an ideal home I'd seen years ago now that I could afford it. The agent I'd used prior brushed me off when I asked to track it down. Kris however, went on a mission spending hours upon hours (knowing I wasn't ready to look for another year) doing everything to find that house for me. While we never did track down that particular house, I decided to switch to her when we were ready to start looking a year later. So thankful I did as she was wonderful the whole way through ensuring we caught every home on the market, saw them immediately and made the right choices. After many tours, we decided on a home that needed work at a great price. Now I get to call the shots on how the house is designed and turn it into my actual dream home! Thank you Kris & team for everything!

      - Angie S - Bought a Home in Mount Prospect
    • Tracy (a member of The Jacobs Group Team)is a considerate and extremely competent realtor. She is in an expert in the 60010 area. She did a great job selling our home! From the presentation materials they created through the quick response when IDOT snow plows took out the sign in front- we felt we were in very reliable and responsive hands!

      - Chrissie M - Sold a Home in Tower Lakes
    • Lynda and I wanted to downsize from our 8,000 sq. ft. lakefront home in Inverness after more than a decade of wonderful living. We interviewed 6-7 brokers and listed with the top producer at a leading brokerage. After fourteen months, just four showings and no offers we terminated the listing and started over. More broker interviews but this time we had more developed questions about pricing, strategy, house prepping, showing methods, media and just plain broker interest, interaction and enthusiasm. We selected and listed with Pam Jacobs of @ Properties and had over twenty showings within ten weeks and four offers. While the market had greatly improved so also had the quality of our representation with Pam.We were ready to dismiss an interested party but Pam worked with the buyers broker and led us to a wonderful all cash offer at 97% of the listing price but, as a seller learns, the negotiations still continue with timing, buyer contingencies, the home inspection, personal property sales and warrantees. Our plan was to rent new housing but we were stunned to discover there was almost zero availability and our closing clock was ticking. Again Pam was terrific and critical in identifying a rare emerging option and selling us as tenants to the other agent.Yes, we eagerly recommend that you talk with Pam as a buyer or seller.

      - Lynda Y and John P - Sold a Home in Inverness
    • "Pam, thank you for helping us find our new home!!! My husband and I have to be the clients that take the longest time to purchase a home! Pam was patient and never minded showing us homes. She worked quickly to get our home listed when we purchased another home. Our home sold before going on the MLS and for over ask! Pam and her team worked hard for us and I know they will do the same for any client!I highly recommend Pam and the Jacobs Group!"

      - Lisa L - Sold & Bought Homes in Barrington
    • "Pam Jacobs and Tracy Covek of The Jacobs Group did a wonderful job selling our home. They helped us through every step of the way by giving us super advice, staging our home so that it showed beautifully, telling us the timelines of how things worked, since it had been a very long time since we sold a home. Thank you."

      - Christine B - Sold a Home in Tower Lakes, IL
    • "Several years ago when Pam and I held board positions together on a local charity I was able to witness her dedication, great attitude, caring personality and her great communication skills. When it came to choosing an agent to help us sell our home I knew Pam and her team would do an outstanding job. Pam is extremely knowledgeable about her industry and the market she serves. If you choose the Jacobs Group you will be in great hands in all aspects of selling/buying a home. Thank you Pam and Tracy- youre the best!"

      - Kim O - Sold a Home in Tower Lakes; Bought a Home in Lake Barrington
    • We worked with Pam and her team over the summer finding a new home in the suburbs. Pam rolled with the punches with us as we continued to expand our horizons as to where we wanted to buy, and really helped us weigh pros and cons backed by her years of expertise. She was a joy to work with every step of the way, and when needed her team was there to support and were a joy to work with as well. I highly recommend Pam and her team for all your real estate needs!!

      - Mindy M - Bought a Home in St Charles
    • Pam was excellent to work with, from strategizing how best to sell our home, giving us a number of marketing options to consider, making the listing easy and continuing all the way through the final sale of the house. We felt very confident putting the sale of our home in the hands of Pams team with their proven success in our Lakeview neighborhood!

      - Bob and Jan A - Sold a Home in Barrington
    • For us, selling our house was a multi-step process that took a year to complete. Pam and Tracy helped us every step of the way: from learning how to downsize, to deciding how much updating to do, to finding the right contractors to do the work, to staging the house, to marketing it, to having the knowledge of the market and credibility to work with the buyers agent to make the sale happen. If youre looking for a professional, knowledgeable team that provides a full range of services, you would do well to consider the Jacobs Group.

      - Chris L - Sold a Home in Barrington
    • What a painless process I experienced dealing with Kris Kerkman (The Jacobs Group Team) when purchasing my first home! Kris was extremely knowledgeable of the area I wanted to live in and quickly identified potential options within my price range. She is very responsive and worked quickly on my behalf. Her contacts for mortgages etc also contributed to eliminating me doing a lot of leg work.

      - Faith V - Bought a Home in Barrington
    • Pam is simply a phenomenal agent. She's smart, savvy, an ace negotiator, she and her team truly go the extra mile. And she's so darn likable to boot. Selling your home is a stressful process even under the best of circumstances. Pam and her team will support you through it. So very glad we had her as our agent!

      - Amy M - Sold a Home in Barrington
    • I've known Kris (Part of The Jacobs Group Team) for 30 years. She has always been very detail-oriented and is a great listener. If you hire her, you will see that no one outworks her and she will work within your parameters to find what meets your needs. She is a great people person and when I sell my house, she will get the listing.

      - Jim M - Lake Barrington
    • We worked with Kris Kerkman (Buyer's Agent for The Jacobs Group) for our Lake Barrington purchase, and she was extremely helpful. She made you feel like you were her only client. She did a great job with all of the virtual tours; as we were coming from the east coast and with the COVID-19 restrictions, we were not able to see our future home in person, but she handled it all very professionally. We couldn't be happier. Kris' expertise in the home purchase process in Illinois was invaluable. We can't thank her enough!

      - Brent H - Bought a Home in Lake Barrington
    • It's hard to imagine what our home-buying process would have been without Tracy Covek & Pam Jacobs. They helped us identify and down-select properties, and were unbelievably patient as we looked at homes over many days (even insisting on bringing us back to our favorites for 2nd and 3rd showings.) Tracy and Pam brilliantly negotiated the final price of our home, saving us thousands. One other note on how generous Tracy was with her time: the home we fell in love with, and ultimately purchased, was not on our initial list of finalists. It was Tracy who suggested one or two additional homes to visit that made all that possible. They understood what we were looking for, understood the area and understood the difference between what you see online and what you see at the property. We look forward to working with them in the future!

      - Aspen G - Bought a Home in Lake Barrington
    • My husband and I can't thank Pam and her team enough with the sale of our house. She walked us through every step. We didn't even have the house on the market yet and she had a few people interested in seeing the house before the open house. After the potential buyer walked through the house on a Thursday afternoon, they put an offer on the house Friday and we all accepted the offer on Saturday. Home inspection was that upcoming Wednesday. Pam provided us with her licensed contractors, cleaning service, and lawyer. We got our asking price and actually got some money back in our pocket after closing. From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Pam and her team at the Jacobs Group. Thank you

      - Holly R - Sold a Home in Fox River Grove
    • Pam was nothing short of amazing from the first moment I spoke with her when looking for a new home in Barrington. From our first phone conversation to the day of closing, she was professional, smart, kind, and knowledgeable. Within minutes of talking with her she provided guidance on the pros and cons of homes we had seen online. She helped us narrow down what area suited our need best and knew about listings that we did not. She was patient and diligently scheduled home tours so we could see as many homes as possible to suit our busy schedules. Additionally, as a mom of young kids, I was so very appreciative of listening to her experience of raising her own children in this great community. We were lucky to find a home we wanted quickly and once we did, wow did Pam impress us! She was diligent, consistent and thorough throughout the entire process - even when things got sticky during negotiations. We closed and got the home at the price we wanted thanks to Pam's assistance. You want Pam on your side. :) She, along with Tracy from her team, will treat you like family from day one. As I have shared with her many of times, she has changed our lives for the better and I will be forever grateful! I would refer Pam in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a qualified, smart, respectful and hard working realtor!

      - Chrissy P - Bought a Home in Lake Barrington
    • Pam and her excellent team made theprocess of selling our home (followed by purchasing a new home) an excellent experience. Pam has exceptional knowledge of our area - we knew we were in THE BEST hands. Her preparation for viewing, marketing strategy, negotiation skills are exemplary. Under Pams guidance, what could have been an overwhelming experience, became a seamless and more than satisfying outcome. Thank you for being THE BEST OF THE BEST and becoming a valued friend.

    • Pam Jacobs is the best realtor out there! She goes above and beyond for her clients. I was a first time home buyer and she walked me through each step of the process. Pam is honest. She has your best interest at heart. I will definitely use her again.

      - Erin S - Bought a Home In Barrington
    • Excellent service and constant updates on where we stood in the process. Overall, their updates helped reduce my worries and they where always very prompt with reply's to my questions. I would recommend them to friends and family.

    • Pam Jacobs, of the Jacobs Real Estate Group is a sales professional. Not only an excellent agent, but she really excelled for us during the negotiation phase. Her experience showed through, and she was able to get us the best deal possible. I would highly recommend her.

      - Drew F.-Deer Park IL
    • Pam did an outstanding job managing me through all steps of the process from listing to accepting an offer right to closing process as i was over 1800 miles away.

      - Steve G.-Algonquin IL
    • Working with Tracy and Pam was a great experience. Tracy was our main realtor and I was very impressed with her in-depth knowledge of the northwest suburbs. I am not an easy customer and I probably asked her to take me to way to many houses. Luckily for me, Tracy was patient and the definition of great customer service. Not only did she help my wife and I find our dream house, but Tracy and Pam went above and beyond to help us with the sale of our condo. They were not our realtors for the sale, but they were always a phone call away, giving us advice and talking us through a very stressful situation. I cannot thank them enough! If you are looking for the best then look no further.

      - Bobby C.-Tower Lakes IL
    • Pam Jacobs did an excellent job in selling my home. She is thorough (especially in vetting potential buyers) and attentive to her sellers. She has a network of highly skilled professional people that helped get my home ready to sell. I would say her best talent is in the art of negotiation. I would highly recommend Pam to anyone whos ready to sell their home.

      - Debra F.-Deer Park IL
    • Pam is an excellent realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable on the various Chicago suburbs and the school districts within them. She took the time to learn our home necessities and then ruled out those that did not meet our expectations. When we found a home we wanted to see, Pam scheduled a showing that same day. Although Pam helped us find our home, she will be our realtor for our next home!

      - Melissa L.-Lake Zurich IL
    • Where do I start?! Well my lifelong dream of having the horses in my backyard is finally a reality because of Pam's hardworking, dedicated, caring, knowledgeable, talented personality. She truly is the best, and she never gave up on me, my kids and my dream! Not only did she sell my home, she took me to see EVERY piece of horse property in Barrington until I found the perfect farm, my Forever Farm! Pam and Chuck are a great team and are perfectionists! When I started the journey, my life was ever changing! They didn't give up once! Pam knows the market, homes' true values, and totally paid attention to my and my children's needs. Pam made sure I got the most money for my house and made sure I got the most for my money with our new farm. She made sure that I wasn't in over my head, being a single mom with 3 kids-2 in college. Not only do I have the BEST Realtor, I have the best friend! She is the most true, sincere, kind person you will ever meet! She gives you her all and her best every day. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I will recommend her always!

      - Mike and Donna B.-Lake Barrington IL
    • Pam was an excellent resource for my home purchase and I highly recommend her. She understood my search criteria very well and focused our visits on that. The home I ultimately purchased was one that she discovered as it was just being listed. Her quick response allowed me to find the right home for me at the right price. She and her team were great to work with throughout the purchase process.

      - Eric D.- Lake Zurich IL
    • We recently bought our house in S Barrington with the help of Pam Jacobs. She was great in finding house for us with a set of criteria we provided to her. It was a very systematic process and we could find the right house in a short period of time. Since we were moving from out of State, Pam Jacobs knowledge of local area and expertise in process of selecting house enabled us to find the house of our liking. She was always responsive to our questions & inquiries and she is good at negotiation. We would definitely recommend Pam for selling and buying real-estate properties.

      - CB P - South Barrington IL
    • Pam worked with my wife and I to locate a fantastic home in Palatine. She helped us become familiar with the various areas of Chicagoland and she shared her personal insight to give us a valuable benefit to our search. In the weeks to closing, she provided much advice and guidance that made the process as smooth as possible. We would not hesitate to recommend her and her team.

      - Adam G.- Palatine IL
    • The Jacobs Group is TOP NOTCH A++++! They handled the sale of my home in Barrington and the purchase of my home in Barrington Hills. Pam showed us every home she could, that she thought would be a good fit for me and my family. Pam and Chuck were always available for whatever I needed. They helped me figure out how I would get the most for money, what would have the best resale and how I could get the most out of the home I sold. They helped with finding me people for decorating, remodeling, painting, carpet, movers and so much more! I will definitely use them again and refer them over and over!

      - Maria F.- Tower Lakes and Barrington Hills IL
    • Pam helped my family purchase our home in Lake Zurich. She listened to what we were looking for and made sure to only show us homes that included our "needs" and "wants." While looking at homes, Pam educated us on everything there was to know about a home. Pam was also extremely knowledgeable of Lake Zurich and the surrounding area and offered us many insights on local schools and parks. Pam made herself available to us 24/7. Whether it was a phone call, a text or an email, Pam's responses were prompt. I can confidently say that we would not have purchased the wonderful home that we did without Pam. She is truly a one of a kind realtor who I wholeheartedly recommend.

      - Melissa L.-Lake Zurich IL
    • Pam and her team at The Jacobs Group did a terrific job of helping us sell our home in the Barrington area. We chose them because of their knowledge and professionalism, and they did not disappoint. Their initial market analysis was very helpful in determining the right pricing, and the advertising they conducted led to many, many showings and a fast sale. The team members, including a professional stager, outstanding photographer, and an excellent attorney, were very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. We would strongly recommend Pam and her team to anyone who wants to sell a home in the Northwest suburbs

      - Dale S.-Lake Barrington IL
    • Working with the Jacob's Team was a dream. They sold our house in 10 days for 98% of the asking price. We began our journey with Pam and her team 6 months before putting up the sign - we've been in our house for 21 years and knew we needed to modernize it. We consulted with Pam, she made her recommendations, and we got to work. Pam has great contacts - plumbers, carpenters, wood finishers, carpet stretchers, painters, you name it, who were available to do the work and were reasonably priced. We also used her stager, Dawn at Stage II Sell. She came in and worked with the furniture and accents we were keeping and filled in with other pieces to make it look really nice. Pam was great at handling the negotiations and made that part very easy. Thanks to the Jacob's team for making this a great experience.

      - Linda and Bill R.-Deer Park IL
    • Pam has an clear understanding of the real estate market, provides accurate guidance, and realistic expectations. She coached us on getting our home in "selling condition", particularly with the internet providing transparency on homes. We established a selling timeframe and sold at a fair market value. Pam and her professional staff attend to all of the details needed to close the deal.

      - Joe M.-Tower Lakes IL
    • After an unsuccessful attempt at a For Sale by Owner on our property in Deer Park, Illinois we decided to list with a realtor. Unfortunately, what we thought would be a sellers market turned into a difficult and anxious buyers market through the spring and summer of 2016. Our first realtor simply counseled a reduction in asking price but, although we did this several times and despite leading the area in Zillow views, we got almost no showings for months and no offers. Finally, we carefully researched local realtors to see who was being successful in this challenging market and we found Pam Jacobs of Re/Max Barrington. Pam is the consummate realty professional. She looked closely at how the house presented and devised a plan to sell it. We set a strict budget for improvements and within that budget, Pam carefully targeted those aspects of our house that she thought might generate doubts and resistance in buyers minds. Pam came with a team of people: a staging expert, painters, a plumber, a carpet installer, and an electrician and between them they identified what needed to be changed. We took the house off the market for a few weeks and the team went to work. Lighting fixtures were replaced or reworked, rooms were redesigned, bathroom fittings selected, purchased, and installed, key aspects of the house were painted, and new carpet was installed (at a very reasonable price too). When we put the house back on the market, at a carefully calculated price point, we had a first offer within 36 hours and an accepted offer within four days. We did experience a few glitches typical of selling a home: installing Radon mitigation, well treatment, and having to put in a whole new septic tank. Pam coached us through these projects, ensuring that the buyer was informed and the deal was safeguarded. We closed several weeks later without a hitch. As we were marketing our house, we also strongly recommended Pam to our neighbors who, like us, had attempted For Sale by Owner with little success. Pam counseled them as she had helped us and sold their house in a few days over list price on multiple offersall in a buyers market! We have subsequently referred Pam to another neighbor struggling to sell their house and to several colleagues for both selling and buying property. We do not take this reference lightly and we feel we are doing these people a great service by putting them in touch with Pam. Pam has been a joy to work with and we have the greatest pleasure in according her our highest recommendation as a talented, pragmatic, hard-working, and (most importantly) *successful* realtor.

      - Phil A.-Deer Park IL
    • Pam is a complete professional and a real pleasure to work with. Thanks to her thorough knowledge of the previous history of local sales in comparable neighborhoods and price range, she quickly came up with what proved to be an optimal price point and comprehensive marketing strategy that led to the sale of our home within seven days of listing at full asking price. Her recommendations as to what we needed to do around the house in advance of the listing to increase potential buyer value were spot on for a home at our price level. Additionally, her support team of real estate experts made the entire transaction process seamless, expeditious and pleasant.

      - Jay B.-Barrington IL
    • here is a very good reason Pam and her team has a 5 star rating from everyone who has left a review. The level of detail that Pam is willing to help you on in this stressful period of selling a house is amazing. I had moved out of state and was trying to sell a house that had not quite finished a renovation, and Pam took this in her stride and helped me get it to a point where the house sold right on the mark I had been hoping for. She personally helped with everything from organising contractors, quotes, junk removal, garden maintenance to repairing damage that was done while the house was unoccupied. Everything for the process of selling my house was delivered on time and in such a friendly professional manner, that it left no question about trusting Pam's recommendations and counsel. I have no hesitation in recommending Pam and the Jacobs Group for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Barrington area.

      - Stephanie L.-Barrington IL
    • Pam Jacobs and her Jacobs Group team have earned our highest recommendation, at least 6 stars out of 5! Pam listed and sold our homes in Lake Barrington and Barrington Village in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Both homes sold quickly, at top dollar, with minimal involvement on our part. Speed, price, no hassles; what more could a seller want? Pam presented us with thorough, detailed market studies explaining and supporting listing prices. She offered valuable recommendations to prepare our properties for sale, and called in contractors who quickly and correctly made presale repairs and improvements. She advised us on effective interior staging to help maximize buyer appeal, and captured the results with simply amazing photography. Pam and Chuck used their market expertise to deliver the broad and deep buyer and buyer agent exposure we wanted, including targeted advertisements and Web sites. Pam was highly responsive and communicated with us clearly and consistently from presale to closing text, email, phone. She kept us informed of showings and prospective buyer and agent comments, so we always knew exactly where we stood in the process. Pams office staff provided timely follow-up and support at every turn. Pam proved herself an excellent negotiator when it came to resolving buyer requests, finalizing offer and acceptance details, and finally closing the sales. We heartily and without reservation recommend Pam and the Jacobs Group.

    • We had a great experience with Pam and the Jacobs Group. From the minute Pam came to look at our home we felt her experience, thoughtfulness regard for our home and our goals were immediately taken into account. She spent the right amount of time helping us understand what comps were for the area and strategically helped us decide on a price. The Jacobs Group staff was very friendly and took great care to work around our hectic schedules. The marketing material really made our home stand out on the websites as well as the collateral material left when people came to see the house. Above all else our results were undeniable.... our home was under contract in less than TWO weeks! Pam's help did not end there we knew what to expect through out the close and even when questions came up there was never an issue, Pam's experience stood out keeping us in the loop until the final signing. We would definitely use the Jacobs Group again!!!

    • This was my first experience in selling a home. I was nervous about what I needed to do to get it ready to sell and how my time would be affected. When Pam came into my home, she eased all my fears. Her experience and compassion showed immediately. She thoroughly noted everything in my house, asked me about my thoughts and priorities and then made suggestions to what could be done to sell the house in the shortest amount of time and at the highest price. We talked about and then decided on just a couple of minimal changes; light fixtures and paint, for which she knew of a top quality designer/painter. She investigated the area to find comparable properties, explained how they matched with my house and suggested a selling price. She knew this was an emotional sale for me and was always there to guide me along the way. We put the house on the market in mid-December even though we knew the holidays were approaching and, immediately after the New Year, received multiple offers. Pam negotiated the sale price and the closing date far above my expectations. The house sold within the first two weeks of January. In working with Pam and her team, I was extremely impressed with their attention to detail and how little I had to be involved in the process. I could not have been happier. I felt no stress, had no concerns and look forward to working with her again. We would definitely rate Pam and her team #1 and recommend her highly!
